It's a SPECIAL DAY!

Today is a special day. It's Gracie's Grandma Wilson's AND her Aunt Michelle's birthday! She got up early to work on her card. Hope you both like it. We love you very much and are thankful for you. See you soon!

Here's a little video of her wishing you a happy day. :)

Remembering her office

When we pulled out Gracie's "office" for Ian, it must have triggered memories of this:

She remembered working in her office and thought she'd better check it out again. (even though her mama had told her NO!) I don't think it was quite the same as she thought it would be.

Monday

Here is our little friend who plays at our house now! Gracie is doing well adjusting to a new person. Today she was happy to see him and wouldn't stop chattering.

This is her "new" thing. She stands on the stool and looks outside at the birds eating at the feeders. She loves it!

Wordless Wednesday

Monday

Happy Monday! These were taken last week on a warm afternoon. Shane took some time off and got some yard work finished. His little helper was right behind him to "sweep up" the leaves. She had never worn gloves before and I wondered how she'd do but she thought they were fun, or cool.

We spent the weekend in Muncie to celebrate Grandma D's retirement. My parents and niece and nephew came down to keep Gracie. They had a great time and G. was sad to see them go. THEN.... we pulled all of our Christmas stuff out of the attic! They played Christmas music all weekend on a few of the radio stations... love it!

Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful -

• for a great community. We are co-directing our church's Upward Basketball program and we had a fabulous turnout for volunteers last night at the evaluations!
• for learning experiences. I am now watching a friend's little guy 4 days a week and Gracie is learning how to share and to live with another little person in the house! It will be great for both of them. :)

• ebay. I got her whole outfit online at ebay for $6.00. (for those who don't know, I think that's a great deal!)
• And finally- the weekend!!!
