The Boys

The boys. Oh how I could write forever and then a day about my boys.

They are hilarious.

Gray is now saying, "GO!" when you start out saying "Ready, set..." He especially loves it when I duck below the counter in the kitchen out of his sight and then jump up to surprise him. He makes the best faces. And I love his smile. I may have mentioned that a time or one hundred...

My heart is so full and so thankful for my awesome kiddo. He is so wonderful!


Easton is my ham, the clown of the family - as evidenced in the pictures below that were taken one after another. He is usually very content, and he has such a great cackle. We are not sure what we ever did without Easton in our lives!


Gray hates when Mike gets out of the car - even to pump gas. So Mike always makes a big deal out for Grayson from outside the car and it never fails to crack them both up.


Grayson does such funny things. Whether it is perching himself on the top of our couch, playing peekaboo in the curtains or running to the trampoline and jumping like crazy every time we say, "JUMP JUMP JUMP!" he never fails to keep us entertained. He loves to make us smile and laugh. 


Easton rode the blue rocking horse at my parents the other day. He was not sure what to think of it, but my mom and I thought his wide-eyed look was hilarious.


There is your daily dose of cuteness :)

43 and worried

I turned 43 yesterday.  A few weeks ago, I had to get my license renewed. I was feeling okay until I pulled out my old license and went to hold it up against my new license image. Mike caught me doing this, and he said, "NO! Don't do it, Erin!" which made us both laugh until I looked down and was shocked by the contrast. Four years ago, 20 pounds lighter (at least), smiling, hair perfectly done (or as well as I could do hair which isn't ever that great), I looked at least my age. Mike once remarked that of all the many license pictures he sees, mine was a really great picture. (But I know four years ago, life was no easier than it is now - in some ways it was harder.) But then the current picture. No life in the eyes or maybe just a lot of sadness, an abundance of wrinkles, hair that was out of place, and attempt at a half-hearted smile and a few additional chins. Haggard is the word that came to mind. Stress has not been kind to my appearance. I mentioned this to my ...

Introducing... Grayson Michael Born 11/25/12 at 3:02 am Grayson entered the world via emergency c-section. Mike got to step into the role of Daddy immediately and went with the baby while I was in the recovery room. They got to spend some time bonding in the nursery. Grayson is such a joy! He and his daddy hit it off immediately. There is nothing more attractive than watching your husband turn into a daddy. Be still my heart. We were in the hospital for SO many days...I could not wait to get home. I missed my bed. Which funny enough, I haven't gotten to sleep in since that first night home. Taking the steps more than once a day is just too difficult right now. So for now, we have been crashing on the couch. Unfortunately Gray had problems with jaundice, and he had light therapy with a bili blanket. Mike told people his son was rocking a low profile LED light bar - just like a police cruiser ;)  I love his little frowny face :) ...

Ready for the next season...

Usually I love spring. But this year is a different story. Spring has been mostly gray, cold and dreary - and with it, it has brought a great deal of heartache. With the uptick in aggressive behaviors from Grayson (thanks a lot, puberty) and the realization that we are now a year into being provider-less, to being told that Gray was too severe for one provider company, to having to research and call around to group homes to see if they are a good fit for Gray,  to Grayson's constant elopement attempts, to realizing that Grayson goes to therapy and comes home...he has very little to do for fun and he has no one outside of the family or his dedicated therapists to invest in him.  To make matters worse, right now Grayson gets very upset - to the point of property-damaging, when either Mike or I leave the house without him. His team is going to work on that, but it has been very limiting what we can do. The walks I used to take that I enjoyed so much to clear my head are in the pa...
