Had to post this one!

I am really tired tonight, as it's my last night of Spring Break, but I HAD to post these last two pictures before I go to bed. The cats dragged this feather trim out of my craft box today. Gracie found it and it became a feather boa just for her. She loved walking around with it. As you can see she is modeling it for the camera!

Bad Hair Day!!

This is what "pig tails" ALL DAY does to my hair!! Hee hee!

Easter!!

There were little surprises inside each egg!

Eggs were hidden in all sorts of places!

I got one!!

What an eventful day we had! Mass was at 8AM, and of course we had to get there early to find a seat. Grace doesn't like to sit for long periods of time now that she is mobile, so 15 minutes into our morning, she was ready to get down and walk. I spent the majority of the Mass outside walking with Miss Determination!

After Mass we came home for a long nap, which was greatly needed, then on to the Thomas' house for Easter lunch. We had a very nice time visiting with everyone and watching Grace play. Stefanie and Savannah organized an Easter egg hunt for all the kids. Grace got the hang of finding eggs somewhat. At first she was content to sit down and play with the first egg she found, but after some convincing by showing her a second egg she was excited.

We had a great day today! Grace brings a lot of joy into so many lives. We are truly blessed, and lucky, to be her parents!

Happy Easter! God Bless You All!

EPCOT

On Wednesday, we took Grace to EPCOT. We mostly walked around, as it was crowded with spring-breakers. We were able to go to the old "Living Seas", which is now a Nemo ride. Grace LOVED seeing the fishies!! The pictures of her looking at the fish didn't come out that well because I didn't use my flash, but you get the idea!

Sweet Girl

Gracie and Daddy sleeping in!
Simon likes to cuddle with Grace in the mornings while she's having her bottle!

13 months +!!!!

Man, time is flying by and Grace continues to amaze us! Here are a few new developments...

She only gets two bottles a day now, one in the morning and one at night. The rest of the time she drinks water (and occassionally juice) from a big-girl cup. Forget the sippies, she wants the real deal!

I was holding her the other day and she burped out loud. I looked at her surprised. She looked at me, smiled, laughed, and said "burp"!

We were in the kitchen a few days ago and she tooted. I looked at her and asked "what was that?" she said, "poop.....poop"! She then proceeded to make a deposit in her diaper. Potty training is just around the corner!
