Enjoying the good fortune

I've had a rough time keeping this thing updated lately and I'm hoping it's a phase...I love my blogging and I we've just been so darn busy this year, it's just tough finding the time (and energy). So here I go...



Michael dubs every color yellow and loves monkeys (monk-me). He's a darn ham and is mostly pure joy with a little bit of the terrible twos making an appearance. He copies everything his big sister does and just yesterday, paused in the hallway to say, "Come on, Lala" (em on, Yaya).



Elena is two weeks shy of finishing her year of Junior Kindergarten and is preparing for summer fun and some camps. She woke up a few days ago, got herself dressed, brushed, bed made (she's started doing this and has kept it up for a few weeks now) and this time, surprised us by making everyone breakfast (Cheerios). She was so proud and we were so proud of her. She takes on a lot more responsibility sometimes and sometimes acts every inch of her five years.


We have been coming down from the Turf War high for almost two weeks now and still can't believe our good fortune. It still feels like such a dream.



Otherwise, we are planning vacations, working a lot and living life. Featured here are some shots of Easter, Elena' 5 1/2 birthday, dentist (Michael's REAL first visit) and just more everyday.

Turf War winners....












As much as I want to post about the unbelievable weekend, it has to wait so I can finish other things. In the meantime, here are some photos of the finished yard...the WINNING yard!

Random Grohs things

The Grohs house is abuzz in anticipation of our big backyard makeover. Though I fully intend to upload Easter photos soon, here are some I retrieved from my phone and that had to make the cut. Note the one of Elena and me sleeping with our heads together...we were trying to share dreams. Also featured are of Elena's first sleepover, the prep for backyard, Alex Escobar's visit, the Sunday morning "Daddy ride," haircuts and more. In a word? Life.

Easter and backyard makeover coming soon...
