Grinnen Barretts: Welcome Home!
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2011/07/welcome-home.html
Friday, July 1, 2011. Welcome home to my beautiful baby boy, Ryan Christopher Barrett! Born 6/15/11, weighing in at 7lbs 4oz, measuring 20.5in long at 9:02pm. In the hospital, I was amazed at how calm Ryan was.barely crying at all and I would actually need to wake him up to eat! This is so completely different from Andrew and Evie who very quickly established an every 2 hour type of routine! He continued this trend at home too (and I'm still cautious to mention it out loud! And Evie just cried no matter ...

Grinnen Barretts: November 2009
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. I've started a new blog:. Http:/ quotablekidbarrett.blogspot.com/. Many times, Andrew says things that absolutely crack me up! I want to remember them, so I started a 'my quotable kid' blog so I can keep track of when and where he says the funny things he says! Once Evie starts talking (I know we're a long way away! I will add her funny comments to it as well! This is mainly for me, but as always, feel free to check in on the funny things my crazy kid says! I love my kids and ...

Grinnen Barretts: January 2010
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. It is one day before she turns 5 months old and Evie is OFFICIALLY mobile! She first rolled back in mid-December, and then would only do it with us helping her over. Today, we were in the kitchen eating breakfast and she was chilling on her activity mat. All of a sudden, I look in the family room and she was ON HER TUMMY! Her little arms and legs were just flailing about! Almost like she was saying 'okay, now what do I do? Thursday, January 28, 2010. 2) A picture that Andrew dre...

Grinnen Barretts: January 2012
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 1, 2012. I'm sitting here with a big ol bowl of popcorn and a coke, taking advantage of every second of 3 kids sleeping at the same time! I suppose I can thank our kid friendly NYE party last night for this break I'm experiencing, for without it, I wouldn't have some exhausted kiddos! We rang in the new year with Laurie, Liam, Chris and Sarah.we snacked and played board games, and enjoyed some beverages. It was a great night! We have an amazing year ahead of us! Bring it on 2012!

Sunday, October 18, 2009. I believe the actual first smile date was October 8th. First time caught on camera was October 13th! 7 weeks flown by! My oh my.how can she be 7 weeks old already? I can't believe it! Soa little bit about our little miss Ev! She's a screamer.oh my goodness can this child cry! She turned into a relatively calm child. She still has her bouts, but it is no longer all day every day.music to my ears! She started cooing and smiling all at the same time which is SO rewarding! When I ho...

Grinnen Barretts: Spring Break 2011
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2011/04/spring-break-2011.html
Sunday, April 3, 2011. Since we didn't make any official plans for Spring Break, Mike and I took an impromptu trip up to Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, WI. It's only 3 hours away, has the coolest rooms I've ever seen in a hotel, and an amazing indoor waterpark! It is right on Lake Michigan, and the views were beautiful! It has me thinking we're going to try to make it a summer trip as well, and rent a Villa right on the beach! The room we stayed in was the Kidaquarium room.it was BIG and clean! Then, i...

Grinnen Barretts: July 2011
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 3, 2011. A few days on my own. I have been so very lucky with all my kids that Mike has been able to stay home with us for the first 2 weeks. Gives me a chance to get some rest, and help the kids adjust to our new schedule! Mike's officially been back to work for 4 days now. I wasn't nearly as nervous for him to leave me alone with 3 as I was for him to leave me with 2! Kind of funny how that works! Pretty successful in my eyes! While I've been home. Makes everyone much happier! Hardest obst...

Grinnen Barretts: April 2010
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Today was Andrew's 2nd soccer practice and my first time getting to watch him! I've never been one for soccer, but really, it was FUN! Andrew tries SO hard with such determination and focus. At the same time he has a smile on his face the entire time! He is trying hard and having fun, and it is great for me to get to see that! Perhaps he is going to be the guy who assembles without directions (so to speak! The fields are very windy and I think she got chilly (poor baby! I forgot ...

Grinnen Barretts: September 2011
http://grinnenbarretts.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Well it was bound to happen. my 12 weeks at home is coming to an end way too quickly, and I gotta be honest. I'm horribly sad! I very clearly remember dropping Andrew off at his first babysitter 5 years ago. I drove away in tears and thought to myself that it was only temporary.some day I'd be able to be home. Two babies later and I'm in the same place, except this time I know it isn't temporary. There are so many parts of my day I'm going to miss. Nursing Ryan. I struggl...
