Stress

So, admittedly it has been a while since I have updated this here blog.  We have so much going on right now that any spare time is spent focusing on looking for a house or finding a job for our big move to Dallas.  Unfortunately, neither of those things have been "found" yet, and we are 21 days away from our lease ending.  Stress is the name of the game in our house right now, especially since P is finishing up his thesis and has a defense date set.  Whew.  That is a lot for a 21 day period.  We are now talking contingency plans - and I hate having to talk contingency plans!
I have not taken as many pictures of Grayson as I would like over the last few weeks, but P sent me some good ones from his phone yesterday.  Here are a few things he's been up to:

I made pancakes with fresh blueberries for breakfast one Saturday morning that we were at home.  

 Then we let him have some pancake with syrup on it (for the first time) and he most definitely loved that!

 Cutie boy eating a lemon wedge - his Daddy gave it to him in hopes of keeping him awake until we could get on the road to Dallas one Thursday afternoon.  It worked!

 When we were in Dallas, Grandaddy let Grayson do all of the chores to take care of Jack.  From carrying the bag of food to his bowls to scooping it out and putting it in the bowl.  He did a great job, and loved doing it!

My Dad has always said that the Blue Goose on Greenville is better than the one they put in near his house north of Dallas, and we were able to taste the original's food while doing some house hunting in Dallas.  Grayson and Grandaddy found these dogs outside of the patio while the rest of us were finishing up our lunch.  My Dad said that Gray would get really close to the dogs, but would never pet them. 

When Gray and my Dad came back to the table, Grayson told us all about the "ruff ruff's" outside.  As we were leaving P took a couple of pictures with Gray and the dogs. 

P took this picture on a Friday morning while I was still at work.  Grayson takes the blankets out of the ottoman and then climbs inside.  If he's lucky, we'll push him around the house in it.  On Friday mornings, he is usually that lucky.  There are lots of shenanigans that go on while I'm at work ;)
