Fall Sports

With the start of school, we have managed to keep extremely busy. This fall, Callie played on a soccer team and started rock climbing at a local bouldering gym. Both sports have seem to be a really good fit for her. She is always excited to go and ready to learn something new.

We lucked out with fall soccer this year and only had 1 or 2 actual rainy days. Looking forward to many more soccer games and much more cheering by me.
Laurel and Callie lucked out and got to play on the same team again. Safe to say, they both loved having each other on the same team


Liam was not always happy to go sit in the cold and watch a game but if we brought enough blankets, snacks, and toys he'd make it work

This season Callie got a bit more aggressive and it was so much fun to watch her go after the ball and hustle across the field

Another benefit of having Laurel on the same team is our cheering squad doubled :)

We took a chance and enrolled Callie in a rock climbing class. We weren't totally sure she would like it but after the first lesson, she was hooked! She got in the car and told us that she wanted to become a famous rock climber. Hopefully her enthusiasm continues for a while. It's very fun to watch her go after it; she has a good mixture of fearlessness and caution. 

Sorry, the video is a bit shaky (Liam kept running into me....he was a big fan of the padded mats)

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.
