Labor Day Weekend

We had a wonderful long weekend back in Kearney and were so excited to meet our new nephew Gus Twit. It's been a few weekends since Labor Day but I had to post these pictures of Grant with his cousins.
All 4 boys have hats knitted for them by their Grandma Diane! We had such a relaxing weekend and can't wait to get back again. We fished, roasted smores, played trucks, Mom and Dad got to golf, and Grant was able to get his first Mule ride!Grant loved spending time with our families and had a lot of fun being entertained by Max and Ted. It doesn't look like it now, but I'm sure it won't be long before Grant and Gus are running everywhere- wanting to do everything their big cousins are. Looking forward to our fun years ahead! Now it's time to get him together with all the girls on my side...oh no Grant, just you and 5 girl cousins!

Fun at the Farm, Fun at the Zoo

A couple of weekends ago we had a fun afternoon at the Deana Rose Farm. There was lots to see, lots to do, and Grant had a blast. However, he seemed to enjoy all the kids around him more than the animals!
About a week before we went to the farm, Grant started taking interest in other kids and becomes very excited when he is around them. He starts kicking his legs, flapping his arms, and yelling with excitement. And he does this with kids everywhere- friends' kids, cousins, or just a random kid he sees in the store- it's quite entertaining!
We also made our first trip to the Kansas City Zoo (it was no Omaha Zoo), but we still had a good time. Grant enjoyed his stroller ride all over the zoo and seeing all the different animals.It seems that in the last month Nick and I find ourselves saying "wow, he just seems so much bigger and older today" about every other day. We feel that Grant is becoming more and more our little boy, rather than our little baby. His personality is shining through more and more each day too. Happy as can be and very easygoing would be our best way to describe him (I think we might be in trouble with the next one). :)
