Mother's Day Weekend

What a perfect weekend! We are truly blessed beyond measure. We started the weekend off with a trip to the Greenville Zoo on Saturday. Graham looked at the monkeys swinging in the trees, fed the goats some crackers, touched the pig's wet snout, and watched the tall giraffes walk around. I think he enjoyed running around as much as he did looking at the animals. Graham even got to spend some time with his girlfriend, Brooke. Mimi gave us a family pass to the zoo for Mother's Day, so I am sure we will spend lots of time there in the months to come.






We enjoyed a wonderful lunch on Mother's Day with all the family. Mimi hosted us all at her house. Graham enjoyed having Mimi, Ray, Gamma, and Gpa Ehh in the same place. He also enjoyed all the food! Graham and Dustin gave me a BEAUTIFUL blue topaz and diamond ring. I love it! Blue topaz is Graham's birthstone. This year Dustin and I will celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. The ring is a combo gift for Mother's Day and anniversary present.






The last exciting thing that happened this week is that Graham got a wagon. He squeals with delight when we run him up and down the driveway! Please excuse the fact that Graham is not wearing any pants in the pictures. He and I were getting ready for bath time when Dustin finished putting it together. Of course we had to try it out! We have already logged several miles on the wagon and I am sure there are many more to follow.




Graham learned to open doors this week. That includes all doors...bedroom doors, pantry doors, and the front/back doors to the house. We now have to make sure the doors that lead to outside are deadbolted. Once he can reach the deadbolts I'm not sure what we are going to do!

Wild Man

We have continued to have good weather which has given us a lot of time to play outside. Graham had his first experience with the sprinkler. He loved it! He would laugh and smile when the water hit him and then hold his hand out when it rotated away.






Graham continues to be obsessed with throwing balls. He really likes to throw anything, but we are working on everything else!


Here are a few other shots from the week.
