blue bird, blue bird....

what do you see?

i see an artist looking at me....this is audrey's drawing from her first ever art class today....




yes, i am her mother and yes, i am completely and totally biased......but i think this is great! the drawings of a 4 1/2 year old......treasured forever.....the class is until march....much more art to come.....she loves it and we love that she loves it...wow, to already be so passionate about something.....hmmm, this phase could last a while!...well, at least i will have new artwork for the house :)

while talking to my mom today she asked what grant was going to do, jokingly of course.....i quickly told her that grant is just one big extra-curricular activity himself!

~ gymnastics....he is quite the acrobat, climbing on top of the kitchen table at a moments notice...flipping off the couch has also been a fun one...

~avid outdoorsmen....one of his favorite expressions at the moment?!? OUTSIDE, DADA, OUTSIDE....he would stay until he was frozen solid...

~football, baseball, anything ending in ball...his father has already begun perfecting his three-point-stance which he will assume freely when prompted....anything not nailed down at our house gets flung across the room at, what feels like, at least 90 mph....

~ weaponry....need i really go here?!?! we now call any semi-long object in grant's hand a weapon of mass destruction.....WMDs can range from the broom, to his wooden recorder and even his toothbrush from time to time...

a day in the life of a toddler boy.....oh, so so different than our first born....

mothers of boys, mothers of twins, mothers-to-be, mothers in general.....i think we all need a medal!
