Out & About

After spending five days relaxing at home in jammies, the boys and I ventured out today to go to Graysen's cardiologist appointment.

The appointment was pushed back from 8:30 AM to noon, but even so, I wasn't sure if we were going to make it or not. Here is a picture of our driveway as we were leaving, four days after the big snow and after Lee spent over an hour shoveling it last night.

I made it out of the drive way, but got stuck in the cul-de-sac for a few minutes before I was able to find traction. Thankfully Lee had given me some tips for driving on ice and I was able to make it to Graysen's doctor, although I didn't go over 30 MPH the entire way.
His appointment went great!!! Graysen is doing fantastic and is cleared for six more months. There are no concerns and he is like a "normal" boy right now.

After the doctor, I thought that we would take advantage of being out. I took the boys to Starbucks for a treat, followed by a trip to Costco to stock up on milk, bread, and wine.
I let the boys play in the snow for a while when we got home. This is the first day that they have been able to play in the snow and they LOVED it!!!
Caleb was tentative, as usual.
Graysen enjoyed throwing large chunks of ice.
Graysen really wanted me to build a snowman for him. It is a very sad snowman. I would have made it bigger, but I was not getting any help.
Well... School is cancelled tomorrow for the fifth day in a row!!! This is unheard of here in SC!!! I can't believe that we have had a whole extra week of vacation. It has been great!

YAY for Greysen's cardio appt!!! So happy for y'all!

It was a white winter wonderland here, too. I loved seeing it fall but this ice has been a pain. I am ready for some warmer weather to melt it all!

Thinking of your baby boy this month as his 3rd birthday approaches!
