Dear Becca & Grant,
                     Becca's been on fall break last week. She goes back to school this afternoon. She's looking forward to going back to school; of course she is in preschool and you learn in preschool by playing so she hasn't come to dislike school yet. I hope she doesn't start to dislike school at all. I here there are actually kids out there who actually enjoy school. I've never known any of them and I certainly wasn't one of them but I hope she has her love of learning throughout her entire life. I love learning but I didn't develop that until I was well out of school.
      Becca and I have come up with a game that we play right before we go to sleep every night. It's called Bugga Bugga. The name is based on an episode of Dora the Explorer where she has interactions with a bug. Becca pretends to be a bug asleep and I am the daddy bug and I wake her up for breakfast and tell her what we are going to eat for breakfast but I have to interject the phrase "Bugga Bugga" every few words. There's also a variation where I go to wake her up and she's not asleep at all but instead she is playing with her Bugga Bugga toys. We repeat this sometimes over twenty times. There's also the Bugga Bugga Lion versions of our game where she is a Bugga Bugga and I am a Bugga Bugga lion out to eat up a Bugga Bugga and then there the one where I am a Bugga Bugga lion waiting for my Bugga Bugga to be born out from under the blankets that are standing in as the mommy Bugga Bugga lion and when she is born I am so happy to see my baby Bugga Bugga lion cub. Then we also have developed the Ice Cream Shop game where we are at an ice cream shop where the only two flavors are sunshine and poo-poo. Last night the game was particularly fun because poo-poo was not on the menu; last night we could choose from sunshine ice cream and splatter strawberry. Last nights Ice Cream shop game was the most elaborate yet as Becca pretended to drive me to the shop as I rode in the back seat. I took on the role of the child and Becca took the role of the mommy. After the ice cream shop we pretended to go to the zoo where we stood in line forever to get a ticket because Becca told me that if we snuck on in without paying our money we would get thrown out. We paid our money and got a ticket. We gave the ticket taker our tickets and they gave us chocolate money. We then went to ride the pig merry-go-round where we also ate some pig angel food cake. Then we went to see the gorillas who had been let out of the glass enclosure and you could hug the gorillas. I next went swimming with the monkeys and slid down the neck of a giraffe like a slide. It seems that the game got kind of bizarre after that because we had to leave the zoo and go to the hospital because Becca had to have a baby cut out of her tummy. These games take forever to play and sometimes I am just too tired but Becca has come to look forward to them every night so I play them with her.
      I tried to leave her down at Mamaw & Papaw's a night or two last week but she fussed so heartily for me that one night she came home with me and another night I ended up sleeping down there with her. She did manage to stay the night once last week but she had to have a picture of me with her when she went to bed, a picture of me when I was in high school. Papaw told me that she woke up at 2:30 one morning and stumbled into his bedroom and she was carrying my picture with her when she came. The night I spent with her down at Mamaw & Papaw's she commented on the fact that she wouldn't need the picture of me because I was there. She eventually decided to take the picture to bed with her anyway because she knew that I would be gone to work when she woke up and she wanted my picture with her after I left for work. She is such a sweet child. I know this is a faze she's going through and Mamaw & Papaw say they can't wait for it to be over because they have such a hard time getting her to sleep because she cries for me so much. I love the sentiment but I also hope she gets out of this faze because there's so many nights where she has to stay with either Mamaw & Papaw or with her Mother and she's not with me and I hate to think that she is unhappy anywhere she is.
      I would love to have the children with me every night but I feel that it's better for them to stay with Mamaw & Papaw when I have them during the week. I don't see the point in getting the kids up so early and loading them in the car and taking them down to Mamaw & Papaw's at 5:30 in the morning. I know kids all over the world get up that early everyday but if they don't absolutely have to I don't think they should be be made to; plus cold weather is almost upon us and there's no more miserable time to go out in the cold than first thing in the morning.
      I actually think that Becca has learned more this past week hanging out with Mamaw & Papaw than she would have in two months of preschool. Mamaw and especially Papaw have been working with her this past week. She has finally learned that the number five exists and that it actually comes between four and six. She's been driving me crazy withe the number five. She has been able to count to nine for some time but she always has forgotten number five. Now she can count to ten with the number five in its proper place. I was so proud when I heard her do it for the first time. For some weird reason I absolutely love hearing her count to ten. I never thought such a simple act could thrill me so much. She also has learned to not only spell her first name but also write it. I told her she would be ready for Centre College soon. She liked the idea of going to Centre College until she thought she would have to move away. She told me in a very serious manner that she didn't want to go to Centre. I told her that she could live with me and she could drive to college. She then brought up the fact that she couldn't drive. I told her that I would teach her how to drive and she told me that she didn't want me to teach her how to drive she wanted Sissy to teach her how to drive. I told Sissy that and she got a big kick out of that. She also informed me that she would be glad to teach her how to drive.
      Grant has had a pretty monumental week as well. I can now say that Grant can officially walk. His chosen mode of locomotion is still to crawl but he can and will sometimes stand up on his own without pulling up on something and toddle five or six feet. He looks like a baby Frankenstein monster with his arms stretched out in front of him and of course sometimes he looks like a little drunk stumbling around trying so desperately to maintain his balance. I love watching my boy walk. There's nothing like watching my son walk while I'm listening to my daughter count. This is truly a special time in all of our lives.
      Last Saturday Grant got his very first haircut. He was getting those wings over his ears that I would always get before I started shaving my head and it was getting a little long in the back. Becca, Grant and I loaded up and took us a trip to Cookie Cutters which is now known as Kiddie Kutters. I had him dresses in a plaid shirt and a pair of Levi's overalls. I chose a John Deere tractor barber chair for him because he was dressed for the part. I also chose a Teletubbies DVD for him to watch as he got his haircut. Teletubbies are about the only television show that he really likes. He did so great. He was pretty tired when we got there. He was actually asleep in his car seat as we pulled into the parking lot. He laid his head down on the steering wheel of the tractor and just calmly laid there as the woman cut his hair. She was amazed that he took it as well as he did. She commented to me that cutting his hair was almost too easy. I thought he might have a bit of trouble when she used the buzzer on him but he sat up for her and let her buzz his neck and over his ears like he'd had a hundred haircuts. I was so proud of my boy. He did lose his curls with the haircut but they'll be back. Becca got herself a haircut as well. We had to even up her last haircut that we had to get when she decided to take scissors to her own hair. Her cut looked great for a short haircut. Now that we have it even we can get on with the growing it back out business. After haircuts we went to get some lunch.
      A couple of weeks ago I stopped by a shop called Re-Kids which used to be known as Children's Orchard. This place buys and sells used children's clothes. I had visited Children's Orchard and Once Upon a Child, another used children's clothes seller, before and I wasn't too impressed with the prices but now that it's known as Re-Kids the prices are fabulous. I bought Grant a pair of Levi's jeans for five dollars and a Children's Palace shirt for two dollars. I got tons of really high end clothes for twenty dollars. Anyway, after lunch last Saturday we went to Once Upon a Child because Dora the Explorer was going to be there. We had to wait an hour for Becca to sit on Dora's knee for seven seconds or so and get a picture taken. Becca got a thrill out of seeing Dora though. Then we went over to Re-Kids and I got two and a half tons of clothes for fifty dollars. I got Grant a really nice pair of Nike shoes, a Ralph Lauren outfit, a pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans and tons of other high end stuff. Becca also got a bunch of jeans. I really like shopping there. Becca found a toy there that she really liked. It was a baseball on pole and when you swatted it with the plastic bat it would cheer for you and tell you that you had hit a single, a double or whatever it decided that you had hit. Becca told me she was going to put it on her Christmas list.
      We then went to Toys R Us so Becca could browse around. She saw Biscuit, the Fur Real Friend there that she had originally seen on a commercial. She's decided that that is what she really wants this year for Christmas. I am distressed over that because the thing costs $180 dollars. If I get her that there will be precious few additional gifts. I hope I can swing it and still get her a nice pile of decent stuff. We then went to Culver's for supper where we met up with Mamaw, Papaw, Auntie Lynn, Uncle Rodney and the boys. After Culver's we went to Wal-Mart and then finally and thankfully home.
      Friday after work I dropped by Re-Kids real quick and bought Becca a winter coat and I picked up the toy she had been so taken with. This was to be my first Christmas present purchase of the year. I put the toy in the trunk and headed on down to Mamaw & Papaw's. We went to church yesterday and as I was getting Grant's bag out of the trunk of the car Becca's eyes lit up and she asked me what that was in the trunk. She looked up at me with such adoration and told me what a great Dad I was. Well, so much for the first Christmas gift of the season.
      Grant's eyes have been all matted, mucousy and crusty. We think he might have pink eye. He won't be going to daycare today. I'm off today anyway so I will enjoy hanging out with him while Becca is in school. He's got some eye drops that should take care of the problem. I hope Becca doesn't get it.
      Well, that's all I can think to mention in this post. I need to go lay back down so I can enjoy my kids tomorrow. Daddy loves Rebecca & Grant!

Dear Becca & Grant,
                     Well, how about this; two posts in one day. The earth must have stopped spinning. I just thought that since I had a few free minutes I would update y'all on today. We went to church and Becca learned about Moses and the burning bush and they had a safari theme today whereas last week they had a pirate theme. The lady in the church nursery was concerned that Grant might start walking any day and then they would lose him to the walking class. They separate the older babies by walkers and crawlers. The message in the main sanctuary was Unleashing Confidence and last week it was Unleashing Forgiveness. It's a nice church and Becca really seems to like it. She said she liked our new church better than her old church, Woodford Community Christian as we drove by on our way to Quest.
      We went to Jacobson Park after church. Becca wanted to fish right away. Papaw and I went down by the lake with her and Papaw threw in her line and we waited. Becca had a little nibble and then we actually saw the super tiny fish swimming around her bobber. He never hit the bait again. It wasn't too long before Becca got bored and wanted to play in the sand box. I wish I had known there was a sand box there; I would have brought a shovel for her. She climbed around the playground structures and swung on the swings and generally had a pretty good time. Grant got to swing as well and he laughed big. He was really tired all day though. Becca had an okay time but I don't think that she had as good a time as she did last weekend but that's okay. Becca's not feeling too well right now so it's understandable. I don't have any big plans for next weekend so we'll all just hang around either here or down at Mamaw & Papaw's.
      I forgot to mention one day last week when Becca and I took a walk along the dirt bike trails at Mamaw & Papaw's. It started out as a bird watching adventure and when we got to the mound of dirt that the boys like to ride their dirt bikes over we had to play Dora and Boots on the snowy mountain. We eventually decided that since Becca was Dora and I was Boots we should go exploring. We went down a trail that had been made since the last time I rode dirt bikes down there. I bet I haven't ridden three times this past whole summer. Last year I rode the dirt bike tons. I suppose it's because I don't get to be close to my kids as much as I did before their mother and I separated. I had a great summer with Becca in the pool and Grant sometimes got in as well but not nearly as much as Becca.
      Anyway, Becca and I found a long vine and Becca swung on it for a little but when I tried to swing on it it was apparent that it wasn't made for a man of my girth. I ended up pulling the vine down and we decided we would use it for a rope if we needed to do any mountain climbing. Eventually the game morphed into Scooby Doo and zombies. When we eventually emerged from the woods into the field I laid down in the grass and Becca, being a zombie tried to eat me. I kept rolling out of her way until she finally got me. We checked out Papaw's barn and she had to show me the bulldozer, the bobcat, Papaw's two vintage Ford tractors and his truck. We headed back up the hill but she wanted to walk up the heavy truck access road on Papaw's land and even though I was hungry and tired I relented. She said she wanted to show me something. Eventually she decided she wanted to show me a magical rock that she just happened to pick up. When the rock was on the ground it smelled nice but when you picked it up it magically smelled stinky. We had big time picking the rock up and putting it down. Eventually we started to head back to the house. We saw Mamaw's concrete goose and Becca wanted to shoot it so she made her fingers into a gun and shot that goose. We pretended to pick that goose up and take it back to the house. There was a big pot of stew on the stove so we pretended to throw the goose into the pot and we had goose stew for supper.
      I was about to head for the house but I had to write Mamaw & Papaw a check so I reached into my back pocket for my checkbook but it wasn't there. I know I had it before Becca and I left on our adventure. I deduced that it had fallen out of my pocket as I was rolling and diving away from the Becca zombie earlier in the evening. So I grabbed a flashlight that really needs new batteries and Papaw and Becca rode the mower back to the field. I guessed at about where we had been and I looked around on the ground as Papaw made swipes over the area checking it with the headlights of the mower. Papaw and Becca eventually found my checkbook and while I didn't find the checkbook I did notice the prodigious amount of wild animal droppings, mainly deer. It made me vow never to go rolling around in the field again.
      Well, that's that for this second post in one day. I bet I won't get around to posting again until Thanksgiving but I hope it's much sooner than that. Oh, I have begun work again on the project I started about this time last year. I started downloading Christmas movies and shows off of the internet last year and I TiVoed a bunch more. I have begun editing them and maybe looking for a few more on the internet. Soon I will be burning them to DVD. I'm going to burn four or five copies of each DVD I make so that as one wears out or becomes nonoperational I will still have backups and maybe the kids will be able to enjoy the DVDs their entire childhood. That's my hope anyway. Now, really that's it for this post. Daddy loves Rebecca & Grant!

Dear Becca & Grant,
                     Well, we did go to Bi-Water Farm in Georgetown and Becca had a great time. The day before we went Grant was not feeling very good at all so I decided to reschedule the flu shots for both of the kids. Becca was so relieved that she wouldn't be getting a shot. We dropped Grant off at Mamaw's and Papaw loaned me his new GPS navigation system thingy so we could find our way and I loved it. I had never been to Bi-Water Farm and had no idea where it was at and his tool, it's called a Magellan, worked like a dream. It was a lazy slow day that both Becca & I enjoyed immensely. We first went to Cracker Barrel for brunch. I ordered off of the breakfast menu and Becca had chicken fingers and mac & cheese. I at all of mine but she didn't eat any of hers. We then browsed in the gift shop for awhile. They already have Christmas stuff out. After we left we went outside on the porch and played a game Becca invented using the giant checkers they have there while she chewed her bubble gum I bought for her there and I drank an orange cream soda. We sat there for a good long while. The day was beautiful and it was so relaxing. After we were done there we went to Bi-Water Farm. I knew she was going to enjoy it when we pulled into the drive and she got so excited to see a roll bale of hay they had made up to look like a giant spider. We paid our way in and the first thing we did was check out the baby animals. They had baby ducks, baby chicks and baby bunnies. Becca loved it. Then they had a petting zoo right next to it. There they had tons of goats with two baby kids and a couple of llamas that you could pet. They also had pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, and a calf; you couldn't pet any of those though. Then we went over to the Trike Track. They had a ton of big tricycles and a nice little track set up. Becca had fun riding through that. Next we went right next door to the Pirate's Cove which was really only a bunch of sand boxes and a big wooden thing built to look like a ship with wooden pirate cutouts everywhere. Becca really enjoyed playing in the sand boxes. She was there playing for 45 minutes. That's where we first saw the stray chicken. Apparently one had gotten away from the petting zoo area and she was just hanging out with all of the people. The poor chicken was probably traumatized because all of the children were chasing it around all over the place. Becca took another ride around the Trike Track and then we took a hay ride up to the pumpkin patch and Corn Maze. We went through the corn maze and went only a little way in, I hadn't even lost my bearings yet and Becca started talking about us never getting out of there. I assured her that we would. She was just a bit nervous but I knew where we where at and I assured her that I knew how to get us out and sure enough we marched right out of there. Then we browsed the pumpkin patch and we found a very nice little pumpkin for Becca and a super tiny one for Grant. Becca was concerned that we would have to walk all the way back but I assured her that the hay wagon would soon return and sure enough it did. We rode it as far as the playground. There was a soda machine there and Becca was just a bit fussy so we bought an orange soda and that seemed to cheer her right up. She was probably just thirsty. The had a nice playground with some big tubes on ropes that the kids were using as swings, tractor tires halfway in the ground that you could climb on, a wooden tractor, a wooden train and a wooden truck. Then we went across the tractor path to what they called The Little Cowboy Corral which was a bunch of giant rocking horses and a slide. Next we checked out Bunny Town which was an area where they had about twenty rabbits with miniature building made to look like a town. I then convinced Becca to go through the Lost Pumpkin Mine with me. It was in a barn but the entrance was very dark. Becca didn't want to go but I asked her if she would go if I carried her; she said she would. It wasn't scary at all. The story was that Bi-Water Farm got their pumpkins from a pumpkin mine that was worked by dwarves but there is a dragon in the mine. Becca loved the dwarves that she called little Santas, especially when they were having lunch. They were really low quality animatronic type dwarves but cute and funny for a four year old all the same. She said the dragon scared her just a little but I think she was fibbing a little because you don't smile when you are scared. She wanted to go through again and this time I didn't have to carry her. We then stopped at the Ducky Derby which was rubber duckies that you raced using a hand water pump and a length of pipe. She had loads of fun there. We then revisited the baby animals and she got to pet a baby bunny this time. Becca just didn't want to leave. We hung out for a long time in the petting zoo area and then Becca decided she wanted to try the Spooky Old Farm House. She didn't want to try it earlier because the entrance there was dark as well. She took a few tentative steps in and when she saw the skeleton band playing rock music she grinned big because she knew at this point that there would be no spooks in this spook house. There was a monster school room, a bunch of witches relaxing at home, a skeleton taking a shower and a ghost restaurant. All of the exhibits were accompanied with funny little songs appropriate for the setting. There was more but I don't remember all of the spook house things. Becca ran out of the exit and right back around to the house and in we went again. We finished up by paying for our pumpkins and purchasing some apple cider. We then bought us a caramel apple to eat as we waited for the train, actually a tractor made up to look like a train. We rode the train down by a creek and saw an Indian Teepee and a few other sites. She grinned huge the whole train trip.
      We left Bi-Water Farm and I used the Magellan to tell us where the Wal-Mart was located in Georgetown. We needed paints so we could paint her pumpkin. We bought some face paints so we could paint each others face as well as the pumpkin. We got back to Mamaw & Papaw's and broke open the paints and we had a grand old time painting each others faces and then when it was really too dark to see we painted the pumpkin. Papaw made us some popcorn and Becca and I had a ball trying to throw popcorn into each others mouths. We made an absolute mess of the deck. After the popcorn we spent nearly an hour playing a game Becca invented. She gave me the instructions everytime we started. I was supposed to be visiting the penguins at the aquarium with some fish but I didn't see any when lo and behold Becca would come waddling out as Becca Penguin and I would be so excited to see a penguin and then Becca Penguin would eat my fish and Becca Penguin would give me a big hug and the game would begin again after I was instructed on how to play the game. Grant fell asleep long before we decided to head to the house so Becca and I just let him stay at Mamaw & Papaw's and we went home. I was out of dip and I absolutely had to have some dip so even though my face was painted all kinds of different colors as was Becca's we stopped at Dairy Mart. Becca actually thought I had lost my mind wanting to stop at a store when we both looked so foolish. She thought it was funny too though.
      Next morning Becca woke up way earlier than I would have liked. We eventually got dressed and went down to Mamaw & Papaw's so we could all go to church. We were running a little late. We eventually pulled into the parking lot of Quest Community Church right as the service was supposed to start. I got Grant and Becca both settled and I went to the service. The message was on forgiveness. After church I went and got Becca and it seems like they had a pirate themed message. She had fun though and I am going to start taking them there whenever I have the opportunity. We all need to be in church somewhere.
      After church we went to Culvers for lunch. It seems that every time we go to Culvers Becca has to potty. After we had lunch we went to the Lexington Green and fed the ducks and fish. I got change from a lady at the outside bar at Regatta and she gave me a bowl for the feed. That was real nice of her. I really wanted to get a drink at the bar but I thought that would look tacky; me sucking on a mixed drink as I played with my children. I passed on the drink. Becca enjoyed feeding the fish and the ducks but when the food and the money had run out she said she wanted to do something else fun. We went inside Joseph-Beth Booksellers and she played with a train set they had there and a marble game. Both kids had fun.
      We then went to the Carnival Shoe Store to get Grant some shoes but all they had there was Nike and New Balance in his sizes and I am not paying thirty dollars for shoes for a thirteen month old so we decided to go home because we were all so very tired. I changed my mind when I decided that Grant really needed a pair of shoes in the worst way. I stopped and got Becca out and when I went to get Grant out the poor boy was sound asleep. I picked him up and strapped him in a buggy thinking that he would wake right up but he didn't. He would flop over in one direction and I would set him up and he would flop over in the other direction. We got inside and I got one of those carts with a baby carrier type thing attached and put him in that and he slept like exactly what he is, a baby. I tried a couple of pair of shoes on him and eventually found some to fit him and he never woke up during the whole process. We did a little more shopping. Grant finally woke up and he was hungry so I went to the dairy case and got some milk and fixed him a bottle right there in the store. Becca and I were hungry so we got us something to eat as well. We bought us a chicken salad sandwich to split, some Funyuns, some raw broccoli and a banana. We ate on the way home and I have never heard a child go on about how delicious broccoli was like Becca did as she ate her raw broccoli on the way home. You would have thought she was eating ice cream and cake. When we got home Becca and I played our penguin game some more after Becca painted her nose black and her tummy white like a penguin and then that was the end of our fun weekend.
      This past week Grant wasn't feeling too well. Papaw picked him up from daycare one day this past week while I worked over and he looked so puny and was coughing until he was red in the face. Papaw was concerned so he called the pediatrician and they got him in right away. He had an ear infection. While they were there I talked to Papaw on the phone and I asked him to ask the pediatrician about the flu mist for Becca. She really didn't want the shot and if she didn't have to have it I didn't want her to have a shot either. They asked about the mist and the doctor said that she would do just fine with the mist and then Mamaw asked if they could just go ahead and do it that day. They said they most certainly could. Grant got the shot and did not like it one little bit and he has to go back in a month to get another one. Becca on the other hand got the mist and it didn't hurt her at all she told me; as a matter of fact she said it was fun. So now we have the kids inoculated against the flu. Grant's antibiotics made him feel better with his ear infection. After the doctor Papaw, Mamaw, the kids and I all went to Fazolis for Italian food. I love spaghetti.
      Becca had an ear ache incident as well. I left the kids at Mamaw & Papaw's Thursday night and when I was about ready to go to bed I got a call from Mamaw and in the background I heard Becca screaming like a banshee. I grabbed my clothes and all the stuff I would need for work and headed on down to be with her right away. I was almost there when I realized I had forgotten the children's Motrin so I had to rush back and get that. Becca was very upset and complaining of her ear and her tummy. Mamaw thought about taking her to the emergency room until calmer heads prevailed. I gave her some medicine and laid down beside her and she went right to sleep as did I. I went to work the next morning from Mamaw & Papaw's.
      Today we plan on going to Jacobson Park for a small family gathering and they have a lake there so Becca has some plans to fish. We needed a fishing rod so Friday night the kids and I went to Wal-Mart in Lawrenceburg. We got her a Dora the Explorer fishing rod with a Dora bobber, we got her a lantern and a cheap Halloween jack O'lantern mask so she could scare people. She wore her mask inside McDonalds Saturday morning and everyone was scared to death. We came home and everyone was so tired we went right to bed.
      Like I said we are going to Jacobson park this afternoon. First though we are going to go to church though. I was supposed to get the kids this morning about now but it seems Becca had a bad night last night. It looks like we are going to have to take her to the pediatrician Monday and find out what is going on. Kids under sixteen can fish for free at Jacobson Park. This will be Becca's first fishing trip. I am excited about it, maybe more than she is. Papaw & Uncle Rodney have plans on cutting a road in the back of Papaw's house all of the way down the hill to the river. They have to work it out with the owner of the land behind Papaw's land but Uncle Rodney doesn't think that will be a problem. Becca and I along with Jake & Jon went down to the river almost a year ago and it was such a job to get back up the hill that we decided, or rather I decided we would never try that again. It'll be nice if we could just ride down the hill and fish a little bit or just enjoy the river view and then ride back up the hill.
      Grant has taken as many as seven steps. His problem is that he will take off when we start our walking lesson and he will do great starting out but when he does so well to begin with he gets so excited that he really can't repeat his first walk. It's only a matter of weeks until he is toddling around everywhere. I will love to see him walking like that but at the same time I will be sad to see the end of his little commando crawl. I took him to church last week in a cammo shirt, cammo socks and an army green pair of pants and the lady at the church nursery commented on how appropriate his outfit was.
      Grant also seems to be very popular with the staff at Kid's Kingdom Daycare where the kids have been going as of late. When I go to get him it's like he's a rock star on the way out because everyone has to stop and talk to him or hold him. That little boy has some charisma, unlike his Dad who has absolutely zero charisma.
      Well, I need a shower and a shave. I'm supposed to get the kids here in about a half an hour so I had better get on the ball. Daddy loves Rebecca & Grant!
