Grant has come a long way in the past year. We still have our moments of anger and frustration with our lovely strong-willed child, but he really seems to be growing out of his fits. And as we've watched Molly grow, we have realized that perhaps his behavior is not so unusual all the time. He has been doing great in school and is in the accelerated reading program. Unfortunately, Grant does not care for school all that much. Too bad he has a long way to go. He enjoys art the most and his art teacher says that he has some definite ability there. Not to my surprise...he has always been a lover of the arts. He sang wonderfully in the Christmas program this year, and we loved watching him sing his heart out. He is starting basketball at school soon and will be doing soccer again in the spring. He really can show love to his sisters if he chooses to, and he can be so polite and charming to others. His favorite things to do these days are playing his new DSi and building legos. He has such a great mind for putting things together. He says he wants to be an artist when grows up, but I think he'd be an amazing architect. Praying for my little buddy every day, and so thankful that we were given this child with such a full and vibrant personality! Love you so much Grant!

SEVEN THINGS I LOVE ABOUT GRANT TODAY
1. His outgoing personality. He is not shy at all. Always willing to give a smile or a handshake to someone new.
2. His toothless smile. Wondering if those top teeth are ever gonna come in.
3. His singing voice. Always in tune and full of enthusiasm.
4. His hugs. Such a good warm embrace.
5. His desire to want me around. Still wants me to scratch his back at bedtime and cuddle. I know that will stop someday.
6. His mind. Always working. Always thinking more than I realize.
7. His love for the Lord. He really truly has a heart for Jesus.

Aww.. love this post! Great job. 7 is so big! Happy Birthday Grant!! I still remembering visiting him the day he was born!
Can't believe he's 7! My favorite Grant moment of the year was when Sofia was a mess because she lost her glasses at the lake.
GRANT: "It's okay Fia...we'll find them. Want to pray about it? Come on, I'll pray with you."
I will never forget that moment...ever. Just showing his true colors. Love him. Happy Birthday Grant!
Such a great post Lesley! Happy Birthday Grant!
