Fall

It seems to have taken a long time for fall to creep up on us but I think it officially has. Fall is my favorite season and have been trying to enjoy every moment of it. We've enjoyed the parks, the pumpkin patches and the leaves to their fullest. With Callie in school 4 days, Friday is our day to really play. Here are some of our adventures!

We headed to the pumpkin patch on a non school day (for both Maya and Callie). Since we grew our own pumpkins this year, we headed to a farm that was more about rides and entertainment than pumpkins. The kids had a blast - although you wouldn't know it by looking at Liam. Ha.

Liam is getting his 2 year molars and WILL NOT take his fingers, shirts, coats, out of his mouth. It is driving me bonkers!

The girls were so sweet to ride the toddler rides with Liam so that he felt comfortable. This was by far his favorite thing - I just love how the girls were willing to cram themselves into the train cars. 


The hay was not my kids favorite thing in the world - we pretty much just watched Maya play in it. They both tried it and didn't like it at all. 

I made Callie try jumping just once....she hated it :)

Preston has been out of town hunting and we have been trying some new adventures, We headed to a park that was full of leaves. Callie and I had a blast - Liam not so much. He got super upset when Callie buried herself in the leaves. 

Love this! She just sat there and picked up arm loads of leaves and threw them.

We've had a few sunny but cold days. We've been going to the park after picking Callie up from school and the kids pretty much just run around in the grass and chase each other

Ugh. I wished he would take things out of his mouth. 


This.

Getting growy

Now that Liam has arrived, it's becoming more and more obvious how big and mature Callie is! I keep telling her that she needs to stop getting so big.....her response? "No, I want to get growy like you so I can open the blinds and drive all by myself!"......hmmm, not quite ready for that! But this weekend was a BIG weekend for Callie, Saturday I was feeding Liam and Callie was changing her babies when she ran off to the bathroom. After a couple minutes Preston ran to check on her and we found that she decided she was done with her pacifier and was throwing it into the trash (we had previously gotten rid of it until we found out she was afraid of the dark, and on our pediatrician's advice, gave it back to her after a month of no sleep). We went with it and Saturday she had her first pacifier free night......it was rough! Unfortunately Preston had to deal with the brunt of it, as I was up with Liam. Not much sleep in the graham house! We were motivated though.....Sunda...

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
