One year...

That is how long it has been since I started this blog. It has been lots of fun. I just wish I could make a little more time to post. It seems everyone's life has gotten more busy over this past year. I took a look back at the first posts and was reminded how much Kaylyn has changed over this past year. She is walking and talking and got a whole lot more hair :o). Grant just keeps getting taller and taller and skinnier and skinnier. The changes he has made are not as visual as Kaylyn's but they may be even more profound and exciting. Talking more and more in sentences, counting to 10, writing his name, starting to 'read' words. And most people may not think these are great accomplishments for the average 5 year old but for Grant it is all signs that he is making great strides especially since he could not do any of that this time last year. It is amazing for me to see how fast Kaylyn is picking up new words and phrases and will try to repeat most anything. I love LOVE listening to her sing Jesus Loves Me and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. And Grant has really gotten into birthdays this year, for the first time really. It blesses my heart. I love LOVE hearing him try to sing Happy Birthday and try to say it too.
Here is a video I took on the way home one night. It is dark so you can't see anything but you should be able to hear Kaylyn singing Jesus Loves Me. She is even better at it now :o). It is just one of my favorite things :o) Grant can see that I have the camera so he is wanting me to take his picture, you can hear him tell me it is his turn and 'cheese' several times. There are 2 videos of Kaylyn singing. She can sing almost all of the words now :o)






Here are the pictures of Grant I took that night too. He wanted me to so I did, while driving. I just held the camera up kind of on my shoulder and pushed the button...they turned out pretty well for not being able to see anything.
