Happy B-day to my Sweet Adele!

We had a mini party for Adele's 1st birthday last night. She was the first Grimes kid to dig into the cake!

Eat that Meat!

The Grimes' household possesses a scientific mystery in that somehow our two older children can maintain enough energy to meet their metabolic needs without consuming any food. OK perhaps I'm exaggerating a bit, they eat at the most three bites each before stubbornly pushing their plates aside in protest. Well after a particularly frustrating evening, battle lines were drawn as Pete and I tried to stare down our opponents in a last ditch attempt to get them to eat some food! Then brilliance struck as we came up with a fantastic idea; perhaps a rousing chant will spur them on to good deeds. And with that "Eat that Meat!" was born, and ya know what? It worked!Now the kids eat at least six bites after a few inspiring shouts of "Eat that Meat".

Slow blog month

I've been a bit behind on adding new posts this month but I promise more pictures and fantastically witty stories are soon to come. Until then, enjoy this video of Eden doing the hula. Oh ya, the blog got a face lift, how do you like? I was inspired by our friends the Mackey's blog (hope I didn't copy it too much). ; )

All Smiles

Adele has been smiling, cooing, and laughing for weeks now but as soon as I pull out the camera I  get nothing but frowns and awkward stares.  Well, I finally captured her on video last night smiling away!
