Hi Everyone!Just wanting to show all the fun new pics of the family. We sure are having fun together! Right after the Labor Day weekend, we took a trip up to Hollywood to see the sights. We rode the train and the subway, took a tour of Kodak Theater (stood in the same place as Kelly Clarkson), rode a touring trolly to see all the big movie companies and walked along the stars on the Hollywood walk of fame. There were a lot of firsts for Grant! He was a champ. (It's hard to see the name on the star that John is with. Can you guess? It's Charlise Theron. )
We've also spent a lot of time taking walks down to the beach and going to Jitters, our neighborhood coffee shop. Emily enjoys taking Grant and Nutmeg to the Thursday morning farmers market which is in walking distance and the whole family goes to the Sunset Market Thursday evenings. There is live music, art, crafts and interesting food booths that sell things like savory waffles. Many of you have shared waffles at our table, so you know that is a hit! The library is also within walking distance. Armed with our library cards, we enjoy military history, parenting books and books about fuzzy farm animals!
We met our cousins Mark, Mari, Emiko and Aiko in Temecula on Saturday. It's nice to be close to family that we've never gotten to be near to before. Grant's little cousin Aiko was only 2 weeks old in this picture!
John is staying so busy, but is doing very well. This week included: getting gassed on Monday, night flight on Tuesday, two shoots on Wednesday (shooting from a Cobra at white painted rocks on the ground), a nav route on Thursday and forms
on Friday! He's really keeping his cool through all the stress. Emily and Grant do their best to be cute and cheery for him at home.Grant is eight weeks old today and is rolling over regularly. He turns his head vigorously to see who is talking, and he's having fun practicing standing (with Mom and Dad's help of course). He does not, however, enjoy tummy time. Grant is pictured below with his funny booties that rattle, helping him to notice that he has feet! He's such a cute, sweet boy. Enjoy the pics!

Love the pictures John and Emily! Thanks for keeping it updated! Grant looks very cute! Y'all's trip to Hollywood looks like fun. Glad y'all had fun hanging with the relatives!
(Sorry for the accidental deletes. I suck at this comment stuff)
Hi John, Emily, Grant, and Meg! Great pictures of the family, and Brenna's an idiot for not knowing how to post comments. It's nice being able to see Grant grow up through pictures. Sometime try tying a ribbon from his ankle to a mobile that hangs above him, and you'll see him learn how to kick in order to shake the mobile!
He is so cute! And he still has that head of hair! My goodness. I adore him!
