Team Gray Family Homepage

Welcome! Thanks for visiting Team Gray's Family Web site, home of Patrick, Megan, Aidan, Colin, and Rylan Gray.

5 November. Somehow, I know not how, I have managed to lose roughly the last four month's worth of posts and updates to our family website. BUMMER! I doubt I will ever be able to go back and recreate everything, and so am therefore decided to not even try. The best I can do at this point is to provide a quick recap of the comings and goings of the family and leave it to you, Fam and Friends, to get in touch with any questions, etc. So, here goes.

Presently...
1. We winding down from a very successfully and sugar-laden Halloween. We hope to have pictures posted of the various related activities, but they included: a Halloween party at Patrick's office; class parade for Colin's junior Kindergarten; trick-or-treating in the neighborhood; and a Halloween party chez Team Gray.
2. We are gearing up for Thanksgiving, Christmas and, probably most importantly this year, the arrival of baby number 4 -- Tristan Robert -- on my birthday (19 December). We will send pictures and updates as we can.

Sept-October...
1. We watched with pride as Aidan marched off to 2nd grade - he's now gotten to the point that he doesn't even want us to walk with him to the bus stop (although we still do!). And, we watched with equal pride as Colin started his junior Kindergarten. Both boys are doing well and enjoying school, although their favorite activity remains "the playground". ;-)
2. Rylan's 2nd birthday - has it really been two years?! We are so blessed with this sweet, happy and fun little girl. Every man in her life is completely besotted with her and dotes on her, to include her brothers. We also celebrated her transition to a toddler bed and early potty-training - hurray, a two-month respite before we're back to diapers again!
3. On the home improvement front, we had a guest bedroom and private bath installed in the basement, so we're now fully prepared to entertain guests - please let us know if you're in town!

August... The end of summer is always a drag, but we celebrated in style by going on our first family cruise with my folks and some dear friends of the family. I'll eventually get pictures uploaded, but, suffice it to say, we all had a great time!

June-July...
1. We enjoyed the return home of my brother, David, and his wife, Michelle, from China. We are so thrilled to have them home and in our lives on a daily basis.
2. Team Gray snuck away from home for about a week to enjoy a wonderful vacation at Williamsburg, VA. We had a blast exploring Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water Country USA. I'm not sure which venue the kids enjoyed most... again, pictures coming soon! We loved having Mom and David and Michelle with us.
