I know...

I'm a terrible scribe for the Merritt Grands, as it's been ages since I've updated this blog. What will they think in later years when they look back at my entries and see such a gaping hole? Hopefully they will remember that I was a busy working single mom, raising a boy who participates in every known sport, and trying to lead my own life as well!

Regardless, here are recent pictures of the very smart, very talented, very precious, and very GRAND Merritt / Trudeau / Wilcox kids.






Please stay tuned - I promise to offer more in the very near future!

The Brave Knight

Brave Jameson was dressed up as a knight...


He gave some old ladies a fright...


When they realized it was he,
They dropped to one knee,
And filled his treat bag, all right!

Belles of the Ball

I just don't think I've ever been so in love, other than with Jamo, of course. Couldn't you just eat these two up?





And, the Pièce de résistance, a picture of Hadley on Prom night, with her beautiful mother, Amy. I'm absolutely certain that Had was the belle of the ball.

Flying Kites

In the grand scheme of things, aren't we always just flying kites? We are so busy trying to keep our kites in the air, that we don't usually have time to stop and see the sun through them, or the beauty of our kites soaring above the trees. Except for these three...


Nana Grand would have loved this picture; loved to see Hadley's concentration, Ellery's interest, and Brian's joy. It's exactly the type of picture that she cherished. Maybe Nana was flying kites that day as well.

Along with the kites, our lives have been flying by as well. Ellery is now a year old, and ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. I was delighted to witness her recent passion for cake.



I consider her demolition of her birthday cake to be nothing short of impressive.
