Swingin' into Spring



With the gorgeous weather, we've been spending time outside pretty much every day, and Alexander has been just loving every minute of it. If you ask him if he wants to go outside he'll respond with an enthusiastic "yaaaaaaahhh!" Whether we trundle around in the yard, head down the street to the playground or make a longer trek to a local park, he's been soaking up the sunshine and swingin' into spring full-glide.

 
 

A Big Boy Sleepover...


Serena and I attended a Marriage Connections Weekend Seminar this weekend. It was a great retreat hosted by Buddy and Carmen Griffith in Novi and sponsored by the South Lyon New Beginnings Church. Nana watched Alexander most of the weekend including Saturday Night which gave us some time together to be "baby-free" for the first time in over a year. We came home to soup and sloppy-joe's from Nana and a most delightful letter from our genius-son:
Deer mama n papa,

When Grandpa Comes to Visit



Alexander loves the days when Grandma comes down to visit and play. And when Grandpa comes too, now that is a real treat! The other week Alexander and Grandpa had some very special time together doing all of the favorite things that Alexander loves to do most. From sharing bananas to playing in Alex's "house" to riding in the tote like a roller coaster, he had fun all day. We aren't sure who enjoyed it more, but we are sure that days like this will be remembered. After waves good-bye and hugs and kisses Mama was quite sure she heard Alexander whisper to Papa "I hope I didn't make Grampa too tired. Will he come back to play with me again soon?"
