Grammy and Paw Paw's Visit

Grammy and Paw Paw were nice enough to stay with us the week after Grayson was born to help Britney and I out with just about everything. I don't think we could have made it through the first week without them. Meals just appeared on the table and dishes miraculously went away. Our front yard even got re-landscaped!

Of course, they also wanted to soak up as much time with the little munchkin as possible. Here are some of my favorite Grammy and Paw Paw moments that we captured that week.

Coming Home

Coming home was so much fun. Mommy and daddy were a little bit nervous (dad drove extra carefully for Grayson's first car ride), but it was very exciting to show baby Grayson his new digs. We had a cute stork waiting for us in the front yard thanks to Grammy, Paw Paw, Grandma Joan and Grandpa Steve.

First Reactions

The emotions are written all over their faces. I was able to capture our parent's reactions to seeing their grandson for the first time as they watched him get a bath in the nursery. I love these pictures and cherished this moment!

Our First Family Photo

This is our first family photo! Mommy is a little drugged up and daddy is wearing funny garb...but baby Grayson looks snug as a bug in a rug and as handsome as ever.

Welcome Grayson

Our 'little' bundle of joy arrived at 8:05 on Friday, April 22 and was healthy, but not so happy. You should have heard those pipes! At 9lbs 6.6oz and 22.5 inches, he was a big boy, but we anticipated that. We couldn't be happier that Grayson has entered our lives. The best is yet to come.

Student Drawing

One of Britney's students was nice enough to draw a portrait of her nine months pregnant. The initial drawing was curiously missing her pregnant belly, but sure enough, it's there now. We both got a huge laugh out of this.

DIY Mobile

I've been touting for awhile now that I could "easily" make a mobile for the nursery. I stand corrected. Many hours of cutting, folding, measuring, balancing and hot gluing later, we have a very basic mobile. Not quite as easy as I thought, but we think it turned out well.
