The next 3 pictures probably look familiar if you follow our blog. Grady loves trains and train tracks so much it has become his 2nd favorite thing to say. Maybe even his favorite. Dad or Daddy is usually followed by Choo Choo. He also can say Ma or Mommy, Doggy, and Kitty.
On Saturday we spent the morning playing with trains. Thanks to Keith and Nan Wagner for the bibs! They are perfect for our little engineer.
He is getting better at being able to put his trains on the track. Although I am finding it kind of hard to build the track when he is "helping".
On Sunday we awoke to a bit of frost outside. A perfect day to go visit Grandpa and Grandma Lobenstein...
...and to take the boys sledding. It was pretty neat to be able to set up a sledding run in the backyard. The same backyard that I went sledding in when I was kid.
Michelle gives Luke a push.
Away he goes!
Even Grady got into the action. Here Hillary pulls him down the hill while Grandpa waits at the bottom.
Luke goes for another ride while Grandma wishes him luck.
The saucer didn't quite work as well.
Grady waits in his sled for Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Michelle and Cousin Luke to come back up the hill.
Grady and Luke take a break for picture. Cheese!
Grady was a trooper. This was the first time we took him sledding. He seemed to enjoy it. Although he wasn't able to walk much in the deep and crunchy snow. I am looking forward to getting him back out soon.
Before the boys came outside I was able to wear down a path that worked pretty well for the boys. Here I recorded part of a movie while sliding with Grady.
When your a kid you could run up those hills and sled down for hours. But as an adult...not so much. But it was worth it. Having the chance to go home and share this with my sister and parents was very special.
I am also pretty sure my parents enjoyed it very much! Grandma and her grandsons get a push from Hillary.
Still making a movie.
Hillary and the baby go for a ride. We find out Wednesday if baby will be a boy or a girl.
Grady explains how close he came to hitting a tree. (For those truly concerned about the trees, I wore a path that curved away from the trees to prevent just an accident. No trees were harmed in today's events.)
I am not sure who tuckered out first, Grandpa Gary or Grady?
Back inside, Grady enjoyed his first taste of Hot (Mildly Warm) Chocolate.
Luke found a new way to sled with the assistance of Grandpa.
Meanwhile, Grady was playing in the toilet with the dogs. I could not be prouder.
Due to Tech issues the Movie will be posted at a later time.
