Happy Birthday Sara and Shelley!

As each day passes, I come to recognize and appreciate the power of wonderful friends! Happy Birthday Sara and Shelley! You are beautiful from the inside out and I love you more and more each day! Thanks for being apart of many important chapters of my life! And none of us has aged! Hurray! College Graduation! (I love that our gowns look like we just pulled them out of the package! Who owns irons in college anyways!)


Beautiful Bridesmaids!

Baby Shower for Baby Melville #1, now known as Ethan!

For the love of nature!

Ethan was creating a "caterpillar house" with leaves!

Early Birthday Gift!

Ethan received a very early Birthday gift from Papa and Shisha! He has been wishing for an orange bike and knows who to butter up with his handsome blue eyes!

It's football season!

Mr. Creative lines up footballs for kick-off! The "tees" are suppose to be protecting the floor from the couch.

Mr. Fix it!

Mr. Fix it was at it again! Ethan loves to follow our handyman (not Grant) around which makes me want to pay him a babysitter fee too! Ethan also loves to watch home improvement shows (who needs cartoons) and knows what commericals are "The Home Depot" before it's even stated. Do we have a David Jr. (my dad) on our hands?

Boys outing - Home Depot project day!

Father like Son or Son like Father? My Father sleeps with his hat over his eyes on car rides! Ethan really does look up to his Papa!

Baby Melville #2!

Here is Baby Melville's first picture (besides the little dot from our 6 week appointment). We had to have an early ultrasound as there was thought that there might be twins. The 4 days in between the appointment and ultrasound were very interesting. I think Grant's hair turned more gray and I beleive that those who knew about the upcoming ultrasound were seceretly wishing that there were twins just to see Grant in action (as many of you know Grant can get flustered very easy!) It sure would of been interesting to say the least! By far the best quote from Grant, referencing to having twins was "I know God never screws up, but I do!" I could not help to wonder if we were to have twins if those that have been praying for us to have another baby (given our challenges from the previous year), were praying just a little "two" hard? Then my pregnancy brain clicked off and realized there is no such thing as praying too hard! We are so excited for this little one! Ethan heard the heartbeat and his mouth dropped open! He gets it! I couldn't help but get tears in my eyes knowing that with good parenting and support from family and friends that these two will have a bond for a lifetime! Girl or Boy...it better come out with a football helmet ready to play as Big Brother is ready!
