Graham's First Home

Well it's official we are selling our first home.  We LOVE this home - pretty much everything about it.  I'm not gonna lie I got a bit emotional when I saw the sign in the yard this morning.

While I am a little sad to be selling Graham's first home and leave such a convenient location the thought of moving closer to Jake's office will definitely be worth it.  

A move up north will take Jake's commute from over an hour every night to about 10 minutes.  I know Graham Graham is going to be thrilled to be able to spend some additional special time with his daddy.

A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Graham had a wonderful first Christmas, filled with fun, laughter and lots and lots of kisses!  He also went to church for the very first time and was a good boy through the whole service!  Pops and Granmom came in a couple days before Christmas and we had a great time hanging out and relaxing.  Graham got lots of new toys and enjoyed the visit.

Poppy and Emme came over on Christmas day and we pretty much did the same thing...lots of relaxing, cooked some steaks, had some wine and "tried" to watch a Christmas movie:)  Jake and I wanted to start a tradition of watching a Christmas movie on Christmas Eve so we put G to sleep (after reading the night before Christmas), poured some wine and put in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.  Because Graham hadn't had the best sleep patterns in the previous months I kept turning the tv volume down so low no one could hear. At one point I looked over at my mom and Pat and busted out laughing hysterically because they were so nice trying to enjoy the movie given that they couldn't hear a single word of it!  Nevertheless we decided to save it till the morning and call it a night!

Graham woke up at midnight as expected - probably because he heard santa and we all had Christmas the next morning!  Again G got lots of toys, lots of kisses and had lots of fun.  Graham's favorite gift of all is his new toy box that his Poppy built for him - he knows his mommy likes things in there place and it is perfect for keeping all those little toys contained!
