Yesterday, Seth and Rick put Grayson on the treadmill and held his hands while they turned the speed up faster and faster. With a high incline, he got up to 5 miles per hour! His little feet were like white streaks on the belt.

It snowed 6 (more) inches on Friday. This weekend, I thought it would be fun to go outside and build a snowman, or go sledding, so we got all bundled up. Turns out the most fun wasn’t playing in the snow (as soon as he got some on his gloves, he would stare in fascination [...]

Whew. Grayson sure has been keeping us on our toes. There is so much joy and delight in spending time with him, and so much to laugh about and enjoy… and it also wears us out! A couple of times in the last week, we have taken Gray to the community indoor pool. I half-expected [...]
