ABCDEFG...

I have been neglecting this blog again....sorry! There's not much going on around here. Grant was sick today. Late last night he threw up and seemed to be better (he slept through the night without getting sick again). But about 30 minutes ago he threw up again...poor baby. We had a great Spring Break. Very relaxing and both sets of Grandparents were able to come and stay with us for a few days. We had so much fun with them :) T-ball just started for the boys too...they are excited! Hopefully Grant will be better by Friday when they have their next practice. Well, I thought I'd play along with this fun little game that I copied from Linds, Michelle and Nicole....

She makes me laugh...

Claire is at that age where she is talking sooo much! I love it (most of the time) as she is saying some really cute things. She is also beginning to assert her will power a little more and wanting more independance. So, the other night at dinner, I added a little salt to whatever we were having and so the kids, of course, needed salt too. Except Claire. She wanted the 'other one'...the pepper. So, I let her try it, and she said she liked it (yeah right). Well the next night when we sat down for dinner she said she needed some "Pepperoni" :) I knew just what she meant! She wanted the pepper of course~and I'm still sure it's not cause she liked it, I'm thinking she just wants to be a little different. But who knows! Maybe she really does love the stuff!

Sometimes I don't realize how big she is getting until I see a picture. sigh...
