Grant Squared: May 2010

Sunday, May 30, 2010

This month has been filled with lots of packing and working on our new house. Kevin has spent a lot of his time down there. We've made a lot of improvements. Kevin has changed a lot of the fixtures and hardware. The master bath looks beautiful after the work he did there. There's also been a lot of painting and peeling off old paint for hours on end (not a fun job). And then there's been lots of adventures in plumbing. We've had lots of help with the house from my parents and Kevin's dad, and babysitting help from Grandma Grant and Grandpa and Grandma Thone. Thank you!! We couldn't do this without you!

We're currently trying to find a tenant for our townhouse. This will be our last week here. We are looking forward to living in our new home and enjoying our new kitchen and other improvements.

Kevin has completed all of his doctoral coursework and is now a doctoral candidate! He plans to work on his dissertation this summer. His broken ankle is healing slowly. He is mostly just using his walking cast now without crutches, and is doing PT weekly.

Logan and Charlotte are doing well. They are talking more and can follow some basic commands. They love animals and can make a lot of the animal sounds. Charlotte is a little lady. She loves to wear necklaces and likes to wash her hands by herself, and wipe her own nose. She recently began to say "yeah" and "no." She is starting to emerge as the leader of the two. Logan is a sweetie. He gives nice open mouth kisses and is obsessed with the remote control, cell phones, and Kevin's video games. He loves to say hi to the little dogs we see at the park.
