Grayson's Torture!!!

Grayson had to get his hair cut and you would swear we were cutting off his ears the way he screams and carries on. But he looks very handsome after he gets it done.

Waiting sucks!!

So Ben's deployment rotation ended on the 15th but we still haven't gotten any word as to when we can expect him home. It is such a bummer sometimes. But Grayson and I are keeping busy. Painting, baking, finger painting (a huge thing for Grayson because he can't stand to have anything on his hands) and cutting paper gluing it down. Actually Grayson just likes to smear glue all over the paper he could really care less about the rest.....lol We have had picnic's in the living room (to cold outside) and feeding the ducks in the park. (still to cold for that to but hey whatever works right?) Well keep your fingers crossed that we hear something from Ben soon.

Grayson is ready for his trip!!!

Grayson was excited to play in the new luggage we got yesterday. He stayed in it forever. He was happy and content in there as long as he has his milk, flashlight, and camera in there with him. Tell me again why we are playing $800 for a seat on a plane for him? =)

Grayson and Aubry playing Wii

Finding stuff to do.....

This past weekend Grayson and I and some friends went to a Christmas tree farm. Grayson got see Santa and give him "five" and listen to story telling and see reindeer, and get a Christmas tree sapling from Santa himself. It was a good time even though it was raining the whole time. I have started wrapping Christmas gifts so that is fun. I finally thought of the prefect gift for one of Grayson's friends and well of course it is on Backorder until Feb 08. Bummer.

Grayson is 3!!!!!

Grayson had his Go Diego Go birthday party today, and Had a great day!! He love playing with all his friends and running around. It was a great party and Grayson was worn out by the time his head hit the pillow tonight.

Grayson's last day of Being 2!!!!

Grayson took Cookies to his class on Thursday and today we was sporting a cute smile. I can't believe he is going to be three tomorrow!!!

It's starting to look a lot like......

CHRISTMAS!!!!

Grayson and I want to wish everyone a safe and happy thanksgiving. I miss you all tons, and can't wait to be back in the states to celebrate the holidays with you next year!!

The Dowd Elf Family

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Grayson drew this birthday picture all by himself and I translated in the next picture for those of you who can't read two year old =P

Catching up....

So I know I haven't posted in awhile but here are a few pictures. Grayson loves the fall and playing in the leaves. He also loves thinking he can drive the car. He is a big music buff like his daddy to. except he is looking at all mommy's music. I am sure daddy wouldn't approve of all my stuff =P And some of him at the track. He likes to tell me "Grayson and mommy go run at the track" Things are going well here without Ben. But Grayson and I will both be happy campers when he comes back.

Halloween

Grayson dressed sort of like his daddy. Woody dresses the same way so you can tell what is is copying. Everyone kept calling him a pilot, but that was just easier to go with than saying " no it is an airborne linguist :)

Making time move

Here is Grayson's calender for his count down until daddy comes home and he gets to go to his Grandparents (Dowd's) house. He wants to go the beach and see Micky Mouse.


SO Grayson is growing up way to fast for me now. I am trying to see how he will do in his toddler bed. He really likes his crib, kind of a security thing for him. He does well in toddler beds but he tends to fall out because they are to small. Think he is going to need a full size bed soon.
