A Belated "Yeehaw!"

Austin riding his horse:

Just. Hold. Still.

This is what happens when you're trying to take a picture of a wiggly 4 Month Old. ... Sheesh!

All I wanted was a normal-looking face picture with his eyes looking at me and I got all of this! And I should note that I was click, click, click, click-ing to try to catch a normal face and yet failed miserably every. single. time!

Austin "Reads"

I was coming back to the room after having left both boys alone for awhile and came upon this. The video starts out with me outside the room because I didn't want him to notice me filming him.

(Sorry about the poor sound quality! I must cover the microphone with my hand or something.)

Graham's Progression Photos -- 4 Months

Here is a selection from Graham's 4 Month Progression Photo Session:

LOVE that gummy smile!

I'm glad I was able to get some smile pictures! We took him for his 3 Month photo shoot at JCP just after he turned 3 Months old, and the poor guy only got one smile from him the entire time!

Sweet Brothers

I was attempting to get a video of Graham playing in his playgym and I got a video of sweet brothers instead.

(Again, sorry for the sound quality. I must cover it with my hand without realizing it.)

Valentine's Day; 2013

I ended up getting a migraine on Valentine's Day, so our evening was pretty underwhelming. I did put sunglasses on and head to the front room to capture pictures of Austin (and Graham ;-) opening their presents. I don't even really remember being there (the pain was so bad), so it's nice I have all these memories captured this way! Kim and David gave each boy a card (with a crisp dollar inside!) and a gift and Gran sent a card in the mail. We gave the boys a heart-shaped balloon you may see.

"Presents!"

Austin was nice enough to help Graham open his gift.

Seth was like "What are you, Mary Poppins!?" 

It was so adorable! He opened and walked right over and put it on Graham's head.
Albeit not quite accurately, but still adorable Big Brother Behavior!

He immediately crumpled them up and said "Trash!" lol

Take that! 

Here's hoping Valentines 2014 is less painful (for me, at least)!

Graham's Dedication Day

On February 10, 2013, we gathered with family and friends at Irving Bible Church to have Graham dedicated. It was a very special day. Big Brother Austin was a bit of a handful during the actual ceremony (as you can see from the photos), and I don't think I heard a single word Pastor Andy said. In any case, we have made the commitment to Graham, our family, our friends, and our church congregation to raise him to the best of our abilities and introduce him to Jesus. (Austin did such a good job dancing during the first worship song that our worship leader gave him a shout out. LOVED that!)

After the ceremony, we took everyone out to brunch and then back to our house for desserts and drinks. Graham got a few gifts as well which made the day very special indeed.

Sheala lent me this gorgeous tray!

Thanks to everyone who helped share in this special day!
