Lola Grace has arrived

Lola Grace Grote has arrived!! I am an Aunt again, gosh I feel old. She was born on October 23rd, was 7lbs 7.8ounces, and was 20 inches long. She is so beautiful, and I am so happy for my brother and his wife. Babies are truly a blessing, and change your life forever. They are all home now and recovering and getting used to eachother. I can not wait to see her when we go home in December. If I can get a picture of her from my brother I will post it for you all to see.

Depavali Celebration at school

Sorry we have not had any pictures, Grayden was sick last week. He just had a cold and a cough, but enough to keep him out of school. Monday was an Indian holiday here called Depavali. So, at school today they celebrated it. The lady in the blue is Grayden's principle at the school Pamela. Some of the kids did dress in Indian attire for the celebration. They also put the dots on the kids heads, Gray did not want to take his off when we got home. So, he took a nap with it on his head. He seems to really be enjoying school, he did not cry when I went to pick him up today!! He still cries when Mommy leaves, but stops after five minutes or so. I am sure with time he will get better with that.

G man at school

I wish I could drive this car to see my Mommy!!
Hey, get off, it is my turn.

If you take one more picture, I will cast an evil spell on thee...... with my evil eye.

I am sure you all are wondering how I have so many pictures of Grayden while he is in school. Well, his pre-school takes pictures of the kids every day and sends them via email to the parents. It is nice, you get to see what their day was like. Grayden still cries when I drop him off, but after about five minutes he is fine.

Sheba update

Just wanted to give everyone an update on sweet little Sheba. Looks like she is not going to go into remission. We tried going down to one shot for the past week, and her glucose was back to being very high by the time the morning came around. So, she will probably have to be on the insulin shots the rest of her kitty life. We are still trying the one shot a day but increasing the dosage. She really is getting tired of getting the shots though. I don't blame her, shots don't feel good at all!! I hate doing it to her, because she flinches every time it goes in her skin. Will keep you guys posted on how she is doing.

School Time

They were pretending to be trains going under the tunnel. That is why they had the chairs lined up, so the kids could crawl underneath them. Gray had fun doing this, he actually went through twice.

Water painting is fun!!
Practicing for the music concert, he picked up pretty quickly what they were doing. So, they asked if he could join the concert at the end of the month. Grayden loves to dance around to music, and just be silly.
