The Grzemkowskis: Under Construction: It's been 2 months already???

Time sure goes by quickly these days! So much has happened in the past 2 months, since I last posted. So, I am going to post a bunch of pictures (Believe it or not, this is just a small sampling of what was on my camera!) and give you an overview of what has been going on in the Grzemkowski house.

Jumping in leaves, before Thanksgiving...

We had a Thanksgiving weekend visit from the whole Boyse clan, including the newest addition, my sister and brother-in-law's sweet rottweiler, Mercy.

The cousins became fast friends!

Grandpa and Evelyn sharing a little snack...

Picking out our Christmas tree, after Thanksgiving...

Evelyn learning to play the guitar...

The next weekend, we had a visit from Grandma and Grandad. Evelyn got really upset when Grandad tried to take his hat and coat back!

Singing "Jingle Bells" with Grandma...

The weekend that Grandma and Grandad visited I ran the St. Jude's marathon (26.2 miles). Here's Phil and I all bundled up before the race began. It was freezing! Phil was such a trooper...He rode is bike to various mile markers to cheer me on, throughout the race. Wesley and Phil's dad also came to cheer me on, for the second half...Seeing all of them really kept me motivated! Phil's mom was kind enough to stay home with Evelyn, who had the stomach flu.

Here I am crossing the finish line...I was so glad to finish, after getting the stomach flu 2 days before the race.

After the race, with my friend Amy...We did it!

Wesley decorating his gingerbread house at his school Christmas party...

We flew to Michigan the day after Christmas...Here's Evelyn with her favorite (only) uncle...

Look at the 3 beautiful Boyse sisters! :)

We had Christmas with the extended Boyse family in Michigan. My cousin's daughter, Alita, was teaching Wesley some origami (Wesley has since become obsessed with paper folding!)...

Evelyn was sick most of the time we were in Michigan...Here she is cuddled up with Elmo...

We spent New Year's Eve in Detroit with Mike and Cassie. Phil and Mike really enjoyed the dessert at dinner! :)

I love my sister!!!

One last group photo...

Wesley had his first Upwards basketball game last week...He is definitely not going pro anytime soon, but the goal of Upwards is to teach kids about the love of God, teach them about the game and how to be a team player, and to promote a positive self-image.

At least he LOOKS like he's paying attention to the game:)...

I love this picture of my sweet boy! Wesley has lost 2 teeth in the past month...Look closely and you can see that the bottom 2 middle baby teeth are gone and the adult teeth are growing in...
