Sunday Photos

Baby William's first round of "Sunday Photos" by Mom. Lots of sleeping going on today!

Coming Home

All three children passed out in the car for the ride home from the hospital. Hopefully this will be a trend for all road trips in the future?!

Meeting the Family

Happy Birthday William Joseph!

Introducing William Joseph Grisdale, born April 20, 2007 at 2:08pm. He is 7 pounds, 2 ounces and 20 inches long with a head of platinum blonde hair. We all think he is just darling, and looks like a "mini-Nick". Ellie walks around saying "Oh, he's soooo cute", and Nick just wants to help with everything baby related. Welcome to the family!!

Spring comes to Colorado!

We had a great time this weekend enjoying the beautiful spring weather- 75 and sunny! The kids played in the sandbox, rode bikes, went for walks, and explored a new park up in Golden. (Ellie squeezed herself into a bucket for fun, we aren't sure why, but she seemed to enjoy it.) It's soooo much fun when Nonie and Grande are here- constant playmates! We're having such fun waiting for that baby brother to arrive later this week!

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny was very kind to Nick and Ellie this year! They found lots of Easter eggs, candy, and other goodies. No one wanted their photos taken in their Easter best though. Ellie cried all the way to church, and then Nick jumped in a mud puddle so that was the end of the church outfits. Oh well, maybe next year!

Ready for Easter!

A Sunny Sunday Afternoon

The weather was gorgeous today, 72 degrees and sunny. Both kids loved playing outside; Nick on his bike and Ellie playing her new favorite game- "ring the doorbell". Luckily we were all out in the fresh air so none of us had to endure the endless ding-dong from inside the house! Nick was trying to learn some "dirt bike" tricks from the big kids, hence the knee pads.

My Crazy Kids

The computer is finally working (temporarily I'm sure) and I can download photos to our blog at last! My two little subjects are a little spring crazy now though..... Nick is just as silly as can be, making faces and joking around constantly and Ellie is a princess 24-7. She must be wearing a pink dress at all times with sparkly shoes and have ribbons in her hair. It certainly is a challenge to come up with suitable outfits on a daily basis! And trying to convince her that she cannot take a bath in or go to the park in a fluffy, pink, tulle dress precipitates a 30 minute tantrum. Aaahh, the life of a diva...

Our Little Fairy

All in a Day for a Princess

Don't you hate when you just don't feel that your tights "go" with your beautiful, pink skirt?! Poor Ellie was having a tough day, she just didn't feel that her outfit was "pretty" and the tights had to go! And to make matters worse, her mother found the entire scene amusing and took pictures!!! The indignity of it all.

Another Sunday....

For the first weekend in 2 months we didn't have snow!! However there was a freezing fog that clung to the trees and sparkled in the sun. Such a beautiful Sunday morning!

Sunday Afternoon Photos

Playing Cowboy

Our playgroup went to see Cowboy Steve's Western Adventure at the Children's Theatre today. Nick loved that he could wear his western gear to the play. Ellie unfortunately was having a "2" kind of a day- had to have baby and a pacifier at all times and refused to wear her cowgirl outfit. Oh well! A good time was had by all (except El). Nick was even chosen to dance up on stage with Cowboy Steve, such a highlight!

Staying Warm

We took the kids to the Museum of Science and Nature on Saturday since the weather is still sub-zero here. Their favorite spots were the space shuttle simulator and the dinosaur bone dig.
