April 2010

Peter picked these beautiful Lupins for my birthday. Here's a shot of some rather unique ones. They had a very wide stem which made them turn out this way.

I just love the way Lupins make the whole house smell yummy!

Tracy's parents came over to help celebrate her birthday.

Licking cake a frosting off Grandpa's finger.

We put Grace to bed on her back, but this is the first time she decided to flip over and sleep on her tummy.

JoJo our realtor. She really helped us get just the right home for our family.

This is the home we are going to buy...as long as everything goes well in escrow that is.

Grace's 6 month day.

She sure was lovin that tongue.

Oh daddy, you're so silly.

There's that tongue again.

Peter got a kick out of Matthew. He was just laughin' away and having a good ol time.

Saying good-bye to Aunt Faith.
We won't get to see her again before she heads home to Colorado this week.

yummy...peaches.

We've been trying Grace on some new foods. This morning it was peaches.

Looks like they are a little tart for her.

O.K. I guess that's enough for today.

5 Months old

March 30th.

Just a few things Grace did on her 5 month day.

Saying good bye as daddy heads off to work.

Just finished her yummy squash, now for some rice cereal.

Grace is getting so independent. She loves to hold her own bottle.

Chewing on everything these days.

Ahhhhh!!!

She hasn't quite gotten it down.

Grace has formula all over her face after attempting to feed herself.

hahaha

At the end of the day she needed a bath. She made a mess of herself in more ways than one.

Grace just loves her bath time.

All cleaned up, and ready to get her jammies on and get ready for bed.

1st time at nursery

We attend church at Fellowship in the Pass, in Beaumont, and they provide nursery for the children during various church activities. We have been going to a Wednesday night Bible study at Pastor Bob's home in Cherry Valley, and Grace is becoming a bit too distracting for everyone. We decided to take her to Nursery this week.

She arrived in this...but we had to change her out of it when we dropped her off.

Grace with Sherry, and Serena.

She did really well for the 1st hour, but then she just would not stop screaming, no matter what they tried. We had to leave Bible study early to go pick her up. We think she may be teething because she didn't even want to eat. We will try again though. It's probably just a matter of getting used to new people, and not being around mommy and daddy all the time.

Another new cousin ont he way

Jon and Steph are having a baby!!!
