Our godson, Airey Cole, turned 2 last Thursday and we helped celebrate at his party on Friday. Here's a pic of Gray using some of Airey's birthday gifts...think he was a little overwhelmed by all the toys. Here he is in the middle of a real dilemma....which shopping cart to push?


We also got a last-minute visit from P last weekend, which made Gray very happy. Since I was under the weather, it was really nice to have some help and home cooking. Thanks Mom! Lovie and Papa came by on Tuesday to play with Gray, which was also lots of fun. But he's at the age where he's devastated when someone leaves. So sad! We got to go on a long walk with our friends Ethan and Elise on one of the only tolerable days this week (Wednesday). Boy was it cold (but beautiful)! Hopefully it will warm up some this week or this cold I've got will never go away! We tried to lay low this weekend so I could kick this cold to the curb, but we got a wild streak and started working on Gray's big boy room. Lovie was nice enough to come and distract Gray for a little while so we could get some of it knocked out. We painted the walls of his new room as well as his bed and chest. I can't wait to see how it all comes out! Since I'm keeping the nursery the same for the new baby, I'm having lots of fun putting all of my energy towards Gray's big boy room. I can't believe he's going to be out of a nursery in just 6 months! As for the new baby, it's starting to make itself known...kicking a lot and very squirmy. I'm 16 weeks today and have been able to feel it for a week or two now. I have an appointment tomorrow so hopefully the kicking is a good sign that all's well. We have a busy week ahead with lots of meetings and running around. Have to run to get a start on it all, but until next time, that's it for the Pattersons!
