Danger! Danger!

by mcjessica on June 1, 2008

Nana Louie & Grandpa Gary are on their way here, and we’re all very excited about that. We’ll need the extra hands around here, because Mr. Grayson McSmartypants can now open all of our child-safety locks on all our house doors, including the ones that go outside.

I had to throw these two other videos in; the first involves him galloping in tight circles around the living room with his “jukebox”, and the 2nd is a good demonstration of his inherited “concentration tongue” habit.

Latest batch of videos

by mcjessica on April 19, 2008

And, a quick update:
Grayson did not have his dental procedure done yesterday. We got there at 6:15am and after the anesthesiologist examined him, they determined they wanted to hold off until he was not running a fever. So we came home; I am glad they waited, because he really wasn’t feeling well. We have had [...]

by mcjessica on April 16, 2008

Grayson’s dental “surgery” is scheduled for this Friday, April 18th. For those who aren’t aware, Grayson’s teeth are very decayed, and the problem started before he [...]

Nope!

by mcjessica on January 29, 2008

Last Thursday, Seth and I flew from Chicago to Palm Springs, California, then we met some of Ed & Lillian’s friends in Desert Hot Springs, picked up their minivan, and proceeded to drive it all the way back to Illinois. On Thursday we were on the road or in the air from 7am until midnight. [...]
