Lunch date #3 for the week...

Due to Graham's jam packed social calendar, and Jeff's busy days at the office, it's been a very long time since we've been able to meet for lunch at General Mills. Today was the day though, and Graham proved yet again, what a big boy he's becoming. Graham had a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and wouldn't touch the half that we broke up into small pieces for him. He fussed a bit until we handed him the intact half and then proceeded to eat his lunch with a smile on his face!

Before we headed for lunch I noticed Graham was playing with his train and I thought he looked so grown up in his shorts with a little belt...he's getting sooo big sooo fast!


Studying the trucks on his placemat with Daddy
Graham awoke from his afternoon nap to find that the mailman was very kind to him today! He received a postcard from Grandma and Grandpa Greer who recently spent a few days in New Orleans for business. He studied his postcard intently for quite a while-it was almost as if he was really trying to figure out what it said.


The mailman also dropped off a giant box of books from Borders! Last week I had a discount code for $5 off a purchase, but instead of taking $5 of the end total, it took $5 off of every single book! So, I went to town choosing books for Graham and ended up getting him nearly $140 worth of books for just over $20-not bad! I let him dig through the books and take a few that immediately grabbed his attention and the rest I'll put away and pull out for special occasions where a new book might help to keep him entertained-car rides, airplane trips, waiting rooms...
