The Interaction of Cousins.

We recently had a visit from 2 of the sweetest girls: 
My sister Shelley and her daughter Addison

AT THE PARK
Spending time with Addy sure makes Adam and I excited 
about having a little girl of our own :-)
Addy's first time in a swing
What a cutie
Addy giving our friend Lindsey a cute look
Someone is finally starting to enjoy his stroller more!  Yeah!
Ethan has started enjoying going on runs with his daddy... his favorite thing to do is to hold onto the bar that is in front of the stroller 
(that way he can sit up higher and  see all around him) 
Here's our big boy... growing so fast
Here is Shelley and Lindsey, who graduated from Union together

A TRIP TO THE ZOO.
Addy trying to take everything in

The cousins looking at the giraffes 
"Wow!  That thing is tall!" :-)
"Yeah Addy, look at that thing!!"
Stare-Down with a gorilla...
If you look closely at this picture, you can see that Ethan has a concerned look on his face.  Right after this was taken, he looked at me and did the "all done" sign with his hands and reached up to be picked up.  It was pretty cute.  Apparently the stare-down with the gorilla was getting a little too uncomfortable and scary for him. :-)

GIRLS' NIGHT OUT:
Here is our babysitter :-)
What a kind, thoughtful husband!  Thanks babe!
Shelley and I went to a Taste of Home Cooking Show that was in Louisville
It was a fun outing with my sister.  
We learned a few new cooking tips and got some new recipes to try.  Shell, I had a great time with you girl! :-)
Free Stuff!!

OTHER PICS FROM SHELLEY AND ADDY'S VISIT:
Ethan reading a book in the car.
It has been so fun to watch Ethan's interest in books grow over the last couple weeks
Cousin Bath Time
PLAY TIME
(Each time Ethan and Addy get together, it's fun to see them more interested in each other)
SHOPPING TRIP AT BEST BUY
Mesmerized by the big screen t.v.

Shelley and I at the Aveda Salon before getting our hair cut
(Thanks Mom and Kelli for your thoughtfulness and generosity in paying for us to have our hair done.  It was such a treat!)

RECENT PICS OF ETHAN:
Just the other night Ethan was enjoying looking at pictures around the apartment with his daddy
Big Smooch for daddy. Ahh.
Ethan has recently learned how to "pucker up" when he goes in for a kiss... it's pretty stinkin' cute. :-)
Ethan enjoying his favorite Starbuck's beverage: 
Vanilla Milk (yummy!)

OK - Yawl!!!!

GREAT Job of getting these updated posts going!!

Ahhhh..... what a FUN time of The Young Grusys' of Looavul, AGAIN, hosting some of The Young Kennedys' of TN! :)

It IS sooo....COOL to see The Cousins together (AND - certainly adds to the anticipation of a LARGER Group joining the FUN ).

Have REALLY enjoyed seeing Ethan Adam getting to be such "Good Buddies" with his "Special Friend" @ The Zoo ! Thx to your "All Fam. Zoo Pass", He has some ongoing "staredown" competitions to engage in! :)

Appreciate the update!

Much LOVE, The CO Connection.

It looks like you and Shelly enjoyed your time together!

I love seeing Ethan looking at his "Special Friend" since it was too cold for him to come our to play the day we were at the zoo! The picture on my screen saver is a big hit at school.

Wow! Ethan is really getting into his books. This is one of the most important activities he (and you) can engage in to prepare him for school - though he won't be going for a few more years!!!

Hugs and kisses to you all.
