A Grell Tale

We are so glad you have taken time to check in on our lives. First and foremost, God is the author of this story. Every thing we do, say, and have is His.
Jared and I have been together since 1998, and married since 2003. After four long years of trusting God, he blessed us on August 1, 2009. Balen James is the most "perfect-for-us" little man in the world! We LOVE being parents and just can't get enough of him.
I love to spend time sharing our story with you, and I truly enjoy getting to hear your comments as well! We hope you enjoy watching our family grow. Thanks for stopping by.

Passing Time

Does anyone know how to get a baby out?? I'm getting tired of waiting. Still making slow progress. Contractions are still very inconsistent, but they are there none the less. I'm trying to pass some time on the internet so here are a few fun little baby sayings.

People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. ~ Leo J. Burke
A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.~ Maurice Johnston
There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it. ~ Chinese Proverb
When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out. ~ Erma Bombeck
The quickest way for a parent to get a child's attention is to sit down and look comfortable. ~ Lane Olinghouse
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell, the name will carry. ~ Bill Cosby
The trouble with being a parent is that by the time you are experienced, you are unemployed. ~ Anonymous
When that kid looks into your eyes and you know it�s yours, you know what it means to be alive. ~ Anonymous
