Happy Birthday Daddy!!

We had a very lovely and quiet evening wishing Mark a very happy birthday! While he may not be very happy about the number, he loved the celebration with Gracie! She got her little fingers into that cake...so cute~so sweet!

Finally a little bit of summer to get us going!! We enjoyed the sun this weekend playing bocce ball and bb'qing in the heat! Grace took to the waves and got to try out her new bathing suit! She LOVES the water and is very comfortable in her new pool! Hope you all slathered on the sunscreen and got out to enjoy the rays!

Family Updates

Well, Grace will be five months old coming up and we have had an amazing journey so far with her! She brings such sunshine and happiness to our lives! Four month shots went MUCH better than two month and she has been the picture of health and a dazzling star! I can understand how people have more than one child now, if all the firsts in the world were like her! I barely remember my life before her arrival. I used to look at fashion and beauty ads, now I browse the internet for baby clothes and diaper sales! Worth every minute! Our time together has been so precious and humbling, such an incredible thing being a parent. I always knew I wanted to be a mommy, but I never imagined it would be this rewarding and amazing. Don't get me wrong, the first six weeks I had no idea what we had gotten ourselves in to. That overwhelming feeling has now turned into the greatest love I could ever imagine. And somehow, I seem to fall more in love with her every day! Just when I think, "...once she is asleep I can get this and that done..." I find myself lingering in her room just to watch her sleep and wish she was awake so I could hear her adorable giggle and watch her in wonder taking in the world. True, I miss her when she sleeps! Anyway, a couple of photo's to share our little amazing Grace!

Gracie gets a new hat!~

Grace has decided that she looks pretty cool in her new hat, she is very happy to get in to helping mom and dad in the kitchen!
