Well, Grant turned two a few weeks ago but it has been so crazy around here that I never posted anything. So, here are some pictures of the the birthday extravaganza. It was an ordeal I tell ya. He wanted a cow cake and pinata. Yes, for months he was telling me he wanted a pinata for his "birfday on Juwy fourteenf." Well, it changed from a cow pinata to a horse pinata but we couldn't find either. He finally decided on a baseball in the store and that is why he had a baseball birthday party. Nothing fancy since I didn't know when the baby was going to be born. Also, I felt guilty that I didn't make him a cake this year but I wanted to make sure he would have something if I went in to labor before or on his big day. Luckily, Grace held off and was born the day after his birthday. Isn't she considerate? Anyway, Grant had a fun filled day. Nae Nae was here and he had his friends Lybbi and Bauer over (and of course Cheer and Tyler). Later in the evening we had a great visit from Adam's cousins and their girlfriends (both of the girls are keepers I tell ya!). Grant had fun with everyone and really fell in love with Alisha. She was a good sport. SuGen was also kind enough to read to Grant for quite a while. Overall, it was a great day and Grant seemed very pleased. However, he is growing up too fast and I would like him to stop. He is such a great kid and even though he does have a 2 year old attitude at times (and yes he does bite once in a while) we love more than words can express. Happy Birthday BUG!!!

Grace is home!
Grace was released from the hospital today around 4:15pm. It is so great to have our little butterfly home! Thank you for all of your prayers! Here are a few pictures. We will post more tomorrow...or when I have had time to actually sleep.
Our little bug and butterfly. Grant is so gentle with her and wasn't very happy that she had a feeding tube. He felt better when we told him it was a special straw that helped Gracie. Now I am just worried that he will attempt to use his own "special" straw.
Grace smiles all the time. And yes, I do believe it is intentional and that she knows what she is doing.
Little Grace with a pretty face being a good girl in her isolette.
Isn't she just the cutest little thing?
It is wonderful to be home as a family! Welcome Grace...we love you!

Mondays Are for Miracles
For those of you who don't know already, Grace is here! She came earlier this week. Exactly 3 weeks early! Now, we just need to get her home. That is why we have decided that Mondays are for miracles! Please pray for little Gracie!!! Hopefully, tomorrow she will show the physicians that she can exceed their expectations. If she does well tomorrow, then she might be able to come home on Tuesday.

Mr. Funny
I have been such a slacker with blogging lately. It just seems like there is so much going on and when I actually have a few minutes to do something, all I want to do is sleep...or have the baby...but apparently I don't have much control over that one. Anyway, Grant is always cracking us up so I decided to dedicate a post to some of the funny things he has been saying lately. So, sit back and enjoy!
* We were in the car driving and Grant plugged his ears and proceeded to tell us, "I can't see you!" I think he might be a little confused about the function of each body part!
* Grant put on my shoes and as he shuffled around the kitchen exclaimed, "I'm going to show apartments!"
* My mom has come to stay with us until Grace is born (isn't she great?!?!). Anyway, Grant told her that he would show her an apartment. He then told her, "Let me get some paypahs." He pretended to hand her some papers then ran out of the room as he said, "Oh, let me get da pen." At one point he went to the printer to "get some paypahs" and made a sound like the printer does then took them to Nae Nae. He said, "Keep doze paypahs!" She asked what apartments he had and he answered, "Two bedrooms!" Umm, I don't know how I feel about this because he pretty much got it all right. He did exactly what I do EVERY DAY! It just goes to show that he pays attention to EVERYTHING (and that managing is our life). :-)
* Grant has a long stick that he found outside and it has made its way inside. He loves it! Sometimes it is a fishing pole, sometimes a tool, but on this particular day it was a microphone. He held it so it looked like a long microphone and stated, "Hi! I'm da Bishop!" He then went up to Nae Nae and shook her hand.
* The same day he professed to be the Bishop, he was sitting on the couch with Adam. He exclaimed out of nowhere, "I'm da Bishop. Not Joseph Smiff." Adam responded, "You are Grant Adam Barrow." Grant answered, "I don't sink so. I'm da Bishop!"
* Grant still struggles a little bit with being left in nursery. He usually cries for about 1 minute (but not this past Sunday- WAHOO!). Anyway, 2 Sunday's ago, the leaders brought him to us because he had a dirty diaper. Adam went to change it (what a man) because he knows I can't handle dropping him off in nursery in tears...yes...Grant and I are usually both in tears when its mommy's job. Anyway, I was standing around the corner when Adam brought Grant back to nursery and as I peeked around the corner I saw Grant strutting in to nursery, shirt untucked, hands held above his held, smile on his face, shouting, "I'm BAAAACK!"
* Okay, so you might already know that Grant tends to stick his finger up his nose. He is getting better though! Yesterday, he made Nae Nae get on the ground and then he began inspecting her nose. He got really close and told her, "I sink dares some gawbage up dare!" This kid kills me!
* To preface this one- Roley is a green steamroller on Bob the Builder. Today Grant picked up his pretend walkie talkie (spelling anyone?) and said into it, "Hi Roley! How you doin' today, boy?"
