What's up with this?

Check out Griffin's crawl!!!!  Griffin has been crawling for a while now, but his crawl is non-traditional.  It started as a one leg up, kind of walking on one foot, and then turned into a scoot-crawl, and now it's a one-handed crawl!  It is rather humorous!

Easter baskets!!!

Seeing the Easter baskets......

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone!   It's been a quiet Easter around the Wright house this year.  However, that didn't stop us from having fun!  We dyed Easter eggs last night, and woke up to some pretty awesome surprises in our Easter baskets.  I have a video to post of the boys getting their Easter baskets, but here are a few pics first!  

Since dying Easter eggs was so messy, a bath was much needed!

Here is a pic of "the loot"

Grayson Talk

This past Saturday, we went to the zoo.  Grayson was very excited.  We have a great time whenever we go.  On this particular Saturday, Grayson could not decide which zoo animal was his absolute favorite (we always talk about it when we leave).   We got very up close views of the elephants, the tigers, the lions, the penguins, etc.  These were all very cool, but were these Grayson's favorite?  NOPE.....his favorite were the "mimchimzees"  (chimpanzees)!!!!!

Tonight as we were about to eat dinner, Dave was saying the prayer.  Somewhere in the prayer, Dave said, "Bless this food to our bodies..." 

After he finished, we began to eat our food.  About two minutes into the meal, Grayson looks at me and says, "Mmmmm, Mommy, this sure is blessin' my body!"

Ear Tubes

This morning at 4am, we woke up and got ready to be at the hospital at 5:30 for Griffin to have ear tube surgery.  I just thought I would show some pics of his visit.  Most people probably thought I was crazy taking pictures, but it was picture worthy!  He did great!  The actual surgery lasted around 10 minutes, but we had to be there for the prep, surgery, and recovery.  

To be honest, I was surprisingly calm about my own child.  God was very gracious to allow Griffin to fall asleep before he went back, which made the "giving up" part easier.  The hardest part was to be in a waiting room full of people who had much worse situations than ours.  Several children, probably ranging from ages 10-12, very conscious of the fact that they were about to have surgery, were in the waiting area with us.  I don't know the situations, but the anxiety in the room was THICK!!!  It broke my heart for these kids, and at the same time, made me thankful for having 2 healthy boys.   Below are some pictures of Griffin pre-surgery.  I would have taken some after, but believe me, he wasn't having ANY of it!  :-)

Bright and early, ready for surgery....

Just got prepped....now just waiting

Sunday Afternoon Fun

This afternoon, after nap time, we decided to take advantage of this beautiful weather that we've been having.  Griffin and I only stayed out there for a short time (he hasn't been feeling well...see previous post), but I managed to get some cute pictures of Grayson.  He enjoyed playing catch with Dad and kicking around the soccer ball.  

 

Ready to play

Catching the ball...I have to brag and say that he was REALLY good at this...I wasn't sure.  :-)

This was Grayson telling me that he won!  :-)

Just a few things....

I just wanted to take some time and ask for prayer.  If you've read one of  my previous posts, you know that Griffin has different things that we are having to see specialists about.  He is a pretty healthy baby in the grand scheme of things.  However, he will be getting tubes put in his ears on April 2nd.  We actually just went to the doctor today to find out that he had an ear infection in both ears (poor baby).  That is his 4th and 5th, if you count both ears, in 6 weeks.  Actually, the next issue is what is causing the ear infections.  

The next issue is his head.  He has ALWAYS preferred his left side.  When I say always, we were told that this must have been how he laid inside me.  Now, after trying multiple things, his head is still misshapen.  SO, he is going to be wearing a STAR band.  It's like a helmet to reshape the head. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but we were told that the bone structure of his skull has developed a "memory" and has started to grow that way, thus affecting the anatomy of his ears causing the multiple ear infections.  SO, not only will it fix the shape of his head, it will help, along with the tubes, his ears.  

I'm asking for prayer for these issues with Griffin, but also asking for prayer for our finances.  Thank the Lord for insurance, but it still doesn't cover everything.  We are currently waiting on insurance approval for the STAR band.  We appreciate your prayers on everything!
