It has been a LONG time!

I have had some subtle hints about the lack of updates on Grier so I thought I would catch everyone up!!

 

We were very busy at the end of school,  sometimes I think May is crazier than December—we also have 2 early June birthdays Grier’s (5^th) and Hayes’ (12^th)- It is just crazy at our house. Grier is now officially 5- and he loves to tell you! He had Spiderman cupcakes, doughnuts with sprinkles and a Boston crème pie/cake!! I am going to put a picture of the cake that my mom made—it was good—but he told her next time it should be white instead of chocolate—I think he was a bit confused—he really just wanted a Boston Red Sox Cake!! He switches favorite teams daily for all of you who know he likes the Mets--!!  This week it is Detroit Tigers—you just never know!

 

We all survived the end of school, baseball, and soccer—Hayes graduated from ETES—we are very proud of him—he got all A’s and lots of awards!! Grace finished 3^rd Grade with all A’s and lots of awards too--- They are both looking forward to school next year—Hayes will be in middle school at AG and Grace is going into 4^th grade at Selwyn. Yes—that is a change for both of them! One of the most asked questions lately has been about Grier…. Is he going to Kindergarten? Grier is going to stay at First Pres and will be in TK---! Everyone knows that we “red shirt” our summer birthdays! He is ready to go back to school too! 

 

We went to Topsail at the end of June and had a great time--- we just wished we could have stayed all summer!!

 

July has been a bit slower--- I did not plan any camps—(I am second guessing that today!!) and we have been just hanging out—at the pool, park, and with friends---  Grier did go to Veggie Town (aka Vacation Bible School) and had a great time!  He really likes to color these days so that week he made lots of Art projects--- sometimes 2 of the same one!!

 

Now it is almost August and the second most popular question is… Are you going to NYC soon??? We are headed to New York on August 4^th—I can not believe it is less than 2 weeks away- We are changing things up a little this time--  Jeff and Grace will be at home while we are in NYC— She is going to go to tennis camp for the week and Jeff will be working!  My good friend, Anne has agreed to come with us and help during scan week at MSKCC—I have promised her a nice comfy room at the RMDH!! Grier is excited to show her Dylan’s Candy Bar—He is already planning on getting her some lemon heads! It is a good distraction because he has not asked too many questions about the hospital and what we are going to do there- He does know he has to go for a check up but he quickly changes the subject to what we can show Anne-- Hayes will be in NY that week as well… but he will be playing baseball--- !!

 

I know I have forgotten a ton of things we have done but I think the most important update is our upcoming trip to NYC—

 

Thanks for checking in-
