Happy Mother's Day!

My first Mother's Day was awesome!

We started off the weekend by surprising Mom and Dad with Monica flying in for the weekend! They were surprised to see her on Friday night and she and Grace had a blast all weekend!

Monica and I found these great $5 tees from Old Navy.
Perfect day for a family portrait.

Margaret's birthday was also on Sunday so we celebrated by going to church with her and hanging out all day. Tim made us lasagna for lunch and we went to Bob and Mitzi's for a fish fry for dinner. (Tim also made me cinimon rolls for breakfast, so I think I gained 10 pounds that day!)

With such nice weather I got to get out and take some pics of Grace in the grass - here is a nice shot of her teeth!

Grandma Jackie calls this one her snooty face! We like it!

More 8 Months

Now that I have my camera back...

We have been hanging out with the Elliotts a lot since it has gotten nice out and those twins are quite the helpers!

Grace and Weeb - 8 Months

(Just for fun if you click on October in the Archives, you can see Grace and Weeb's first picture...My how they grow up so fast!)

Ahhhh. The baby biscuit...
Always a direct ticket to the bath tub.

Eight Months

Eight Months! We sure are enjoying this stage as Grace is beginning to explore the house and continues to learn new things each day! What's new...

This face!

We love swimming! We open our pool next Monday.

How dare you build something that tall in my house!

I'm on it!

I can pull up on anything now!

And I'm learning to balance on my own and fall backwards. What fun!

Tantrums...


Tim spent the weekend in Washington DC with 20 White's students and staff. We missed him, but managed. When I get my camera back from him, I'll have a few more pictures of Grace. She is learning to feed herself a bit and boy can she get messy!

Cousins

Cousins Amy and Ava came for a visit yesterday. The girls hit it off right away!

We took a walk to the park and the girls jabbered to each other on the way home!

Hugs all around!

Miss Ava is almost 2!! Where does the time go?

(Grace will never be that old, right?)

In other news....

Grace got her second tooth yesterday! Two little ones on the bottom now.

And I officially resigned my teaching position today.

I had only taken a year, and I knew this was the plan all along,

but it still feels weird. A good weird, though! :)

Bed Time

Almost every night we take a bath now.

Grace loves to splash have water poured over her head!

I can't wait to get her in the pool this summer.

We brush our tooth before bed too.

And then off to bed for the night!

Down at 7:30 and I'll see you at 7:00!

New tricks!!!!

Easter with the Clark girls.

(I'm waiting for nice weather to pose her in her dress with her Easter basket OUTSIDE!)

Seven Months

Grace and Weeb at 7 months.

Grace is very good at sitting up now.

We really liked the 70 degree weather a couple of weeks ago!

Bring on summer!!!

And we are starting to get up on our knees!

Daddy is really good at helping to practice this skill!

Hanging out with Zoe and August!

We're doing pretty well with the spoon feeding so it's time to move on to doing it herself!

Joseph is a good helper around the house and with Grace.

David was busy writing his chapter book!

Who says girls can't wear blue?

Praise the Lord!!! Happy Easter!
