Memorial Day Weekend

Post number two....I am here to try it again!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. We took a short trip to Big Bear Lake to spend the weekend with the Black's and the Butier's. We really lucked out with beautiful 70 degree weather and a very mellow weekend. Thanks to some family friend's of Tif's we were able to stay in a gorgeous house, complete with "bunk house" for the kids, trampoline, spa, and play equipment. It was wonderful to just hang around and not have to worry about doing laundry or yardwork or whatever seems to occupy our normal weekends. And it was even better to hang out with great friends and share a lot laughs.

The upcoming week should be an easy one, only four days to handle. Just the normal routine this week....Oh last week we had our orientation for Emerson's new preschool. WOW! So much information to take it, but so exciting! They have so many extra activites going on for fun and fundraising of course. Jeff and I are required to volunteer 20 hours total for the year, which shouldn't be too hard with the both of us working at it. The fundraising part might be a little challenging though!

Well, better get us all ready for tomorrow...

Here are a few pictures to share with you all from our Big Bear Weekend.

Have a great week ahead!

Welcome

Hello friends and family,


Well I got to thinking about all the emails and such that I either don't have a chance to respond to or don't have a chance to start...and I thought, what about a blog? Great way for me to keep everyone up to date with the goings on in the Grady Family. So here we are!


A quick update....


Brennan celebrated his 2nd birthday about two weeks ago. We had a great pool party, in our already warm weather. He is finally starting to talk a bit more. Although we just went to the dr. to find out that he has some fluid in his ears that may be causing some hearing loss. Might be an easy fix with some antibiotics, which we plan to try for the next 4 weeks. If those don't worry will be have to entertain the thought of surgery to put in ear tubes....but we shall see.


Emerson is doing great, growing up SO fast. We actually just went to our first of two orientations to her new preschool at Sacred Heart Catholic School. She is SO excited to start her "big girl" school. We are so excited to see how much she will learn there as well.


Jeff and I are busy with work. Jeff is super busy as usual, the whole idea of the "valley" slowing down for the hot summer months, seems to not be the case as much anymore. Traffic is just as crazy as usual. I only have 20 school days left (but who is counting!) in the school year. Then a fairly hectic summer ahead, with mini-trips, swim lessons, and playdates. Looking forward to some quality time with the kids.


Well, better get going. We hope this finds everyone doing well. Please check back often to see how we are all doing. I will do my best to update as much as possible.


Lots of love,
The Grady Family
