Belated Easter Update


Getting ready to dye Easter eggs with Caleb


She said she made a baby just like mommy's baby











Sorry for the delay in updating-it's been a little crazy around here! After years of job searching and a long ordeal of decision-making, Jeremy has accepted a tenure-track teaching position at Kennesaw State University to start in August, which has put our lives into a mini whirlwind of craziness. It's great not to be wondering about his job prospects anymore, though! We've spent the last several weeks preparing to put our house on the market so that we can try to move closer to KSU. Now that we've just about gotten the house in tip top shape, and the "for sale" sign is in the yard, we can hopefully get back to the normal routine and play the waiting game for as long as it takes to sell our house :-)

We all had a nice Easter and a super (fast) Spring Break. Sarah semi-enjoyed the family Egg Hunt, even though she had a boo boo on her foot and was more or less cranky the whole day. Enjoy the video clip of all the Grant babies. I would like to say that next year's will be without tears, but with twins on the way, I guess we will have even more drama at next year's hunt!

One of the cuter things Sarah has been doing lately is playing with her baby dolls. As we slowly move more and more baby "things" back into our house, Sarah seems to find them quickly and put her babies into all of the equipment. Every time I turn around there is a baby "sleeping" in something. She says she's going to be a big helper to her baby brother and sister, including bringing them pacis and giving them their diapers (which babies wear, but big girls wear panties, according to Sarah).

It's a Boy! It's a Girl!

Jeremy, Sarah, and I are proud to say that the twins will be a boy and a girl! We are SO EXCITED! The 3-D ultrasound session yesterday was really cool, and if any of you are pregnant and will let me refer you to the place we went in Alpharetta, I would love to ;-) It was amazing to see how close together the babies actually are right now. I guess I figured they would be all out in their own space for awhile until they get much bigger. Instead they are snuggled up close. They are "head to head" although their bodies are going in slightly different directions, kind of like an "L," from what I could tell. They can put their arms around each other and it was really cute to watch :-) Enjoy the pictures--not sure if you will be able to see anything or not. We needed much explaining from the ultrasound tech to know what we we were looking at in a lot of the pictures! The exciting news is that we will be having ultrasounds every 4 weeks from here on out, so we will get "regular" updates! (although I doubt they will be in 3-D!).
