Tyler's Baptism Weekend

FYI: My sisters & mom have normal sized heads covered by massive amounts of hair, which on the positive front makes us all appear taller than we are; however, we all look like giant-heads when put next to my dad who is #1 a pinhead and #2 hair-follically challenged...





Greg & Tyler ready to take "The Plunge"






The week after school started, I began working full time at an optometrists office. A few days after starting work, my family started arriving from out of town to celebrate Tyler's baptism. For me it was bittersweet for the following reasons:


1. Excitement & trepidation over learning something totally foreign at work.
G'Pa Grove & Tyler
2. Stress over the fact that my house was a disaster.


3. Not enough time to lay in bed chatting with my sisters while listening to


the children play & fight.


4. Elation over seeing my little sister, Gwen, pregnant with her first child.

5. Disbelief that my second child is old enough to be accountable for his actions! Yikes!





Thanks to my wonderful family for putting up with my mood swings brought on by stress and sleep deprivation! I love you guys!


Some of the Grove Cousins...Need I say more?

Cute pictures! That was a crazy week for you. I can't believe you did all that while starting a new job.

You guys look fabulous, as always. I have lost a lot of my hair massivness. Be thankful for you mane of fire...I miss mine;) I had no idea Gwen was pregnant. How fun! All the "little" cousins are just growing up way too fast. (I know I always say that) I'm just reminded of how old I really am getting. AHHHH! Congrats Tyler. We are so proud of you!
