Transformers Are Amoung Us!

Grandma and Grandpa Grey went to Florida last weekend for the Auburn game and Grandma went shopping! We have inherited not one, not two but three transformers. Ethan has been waiting all week to "get" them and tonight was the night! Spoiled? Nahh...thats what grandparents are for. Here are a few pictures! PS...Mommy is better at putting them together than Daddy but Granpa is the best!

Abigail (Abbie) Mae

Hurray!
We just found out the Aunt Jana is having a new babygirl cousin for us! She won't be here till February but we can't wait to meet her!

2 year olds!

Emelia had her 2 year old check up and shots today! I was not able to go but Daddy took her and she did great with her shots. She is one healthy little chick! She is 28.8 pounds and 35 1/4" long! Still in the 90%!
Some things that she is doing now:
*Turning the channel on the remote so Ethan gets mad!
*Telling Mommy to "relax" (at the appropriate times I might add)!
*Flirting with any male that will look in her direction...and staring them down until they do look in her direction!
* Carrying her purse(s) Grandma Joan bought her..oh and her keys and pink cars and sunglasses and baby and anything else she can get into her hands and still try to get into bed with!
*Telling me she has to "change" her baby 10-15x on every car drive
*Smiling all the time
*Wanting to be tickled
*Always looking for Daddy
*Saying Mrs Hines (her new teacher at Pre-school)
*Saying 7 word sentences
*Making my day...with all the things she does!

Daddy, I go Pee-pee potty!!

Yep! She did it! Miss Emelia told me she had to go potty, which she has been doing for weeks in hopes of a mini m&m reward BUT this morning she DID IT! We called Daddy, who was out golfing, to tell him right away and the above is what she said! We did the peepee on the potty dance and cheered and I hope this means we are on our way! I AM SO EXCITED! Mommy danced and cheered for her sanity, no more dirty diapers, money back in my pocket, no more trips to buy diapers at BJ's, NO MORE DIAPER BAG and then...wouldn't you know it, TWO poopy diapers while we were out this morning. Okay, I guess I can't get too excited YET!

Test test

I LUFV YOU!

Ethan had his speech evaluation today and it was determined that he has an expressive language delay. This is not really a big surprize to us as he is not much of a "talker" outside of the house. His therapist said not to worry and that with some therapy (of course, completely out of pocket) he will be just fine! Whewwww!!! :) We are hoping that school will help and I think it already has. He is already trying to say a lot more "real" info and is actually having conversations when he is on the phone! He did however fail the hearing screen, so we will be having his hearing checked very soon. The other component to all this is his teeth/pallet, another thing that we will be getting a second opinion about. Regardless of all of this he is really "growing up"!!
Now the other grasshopper, she is one sassy lassy! I do not think we will need a speech therapist for her, maybe a set of earmuffs for Daddy and I because she does not stop talking! The other day, she told Ethan to "RELAX" with the correct hand expressions and everything! The best part is that she is saying I LUVF you now!

Summer Vacation 2008

I wanted to share some pictures from our summer vacation with everyone. We took our first "just the four of us" vacation to Litchfield by the Sea this summer and we absolutely loved it! We swam and played in the sand and Ethan learned how to swim by himself with a swimmy on and rode on the golf cart! A LOT! We really enjoyed just spending family time together! We will be going back!

TODAY"S THE DAY!!!

After several weeks of wanting to start a Blog, I am finally doing it! And even more impressive is that so far I have done it myself because I am technologically insufficient! ...okay okay, I have to give credit to my "girls" next door(s)because I have been listening very carfeully to them about how to do this!! We'll see how I do. I chose today because it was the first day of PRE-SCHOOL! Emelia and Ethan started a new school today and they really enjoyed it! Emelia-my ready to do anything and go anywhere as long as I have my purse- just walked away without even a backwards glance! Ethan- not always so ready to GO- was a bit hesitant but did just fine! Okay I have to see if I can figure out how to put pictures on here...wish me luck, if I do we will see preschool day one pictures!
