We have been so busy around here lately (and I thought things would slow down once summer began!)!
I'm taking summer classes and tests so that I can teach in the spring. And Deryk is working full time and getting some projects around here finished.
So I have let a few things fall to the wayside, trying to prioritize the events of our lives. Unfortunately, it was the blog that was neglected first. But we have some fun pictures to post, the thought of putting it off any longer bothers me--I'll have a thousand pictures I'll want to post if I wait 'til things calm down around here!
Grace has started to cruise the couches, chairs, and even the tub! She does pretty good standing, but she gets very scared without the security of her support. One day I was sitting on the couch and Gracie stood up using the couch. When she let go of the couch she was totally fine, but then she realized she was no longer holding onto the couch and panicked in a very big way! She grasped for me, but lost her balance and fell on that diapered booty! It was so funny, though I know I shouldn't have felt it was--after all, it was so frightening in her mind.
This is Gracie's favorite new toy (given to her by my sis, Miriam and her kids)! She is so funny with it! When all the pieces are in the puzzle she likes to take them out with her mouth (they have a large round wooden dowel in them) and suck on them like they are her Passifier. It's just to cute to me!!
And Finally, Deryk and I planted a garden this year (actually Deryk planted the garden while I hung out with my fam at Benjamin's birthday party--I have an amazing husband). I do help to care for it, and a week or two ago we were weeding one night. Grace was just playing in the grass, but then noticed we were doing something and decided she needed to be a part of it (as she ALWAYS does). I can only imagine that she thought whatever we were doing must be something important--and in her sweet little mind anything important has got to be eatible. So she ate the dirt! Oh well--it can't kill her can it?!
Happy Father's Day to the two men and fathers I love most and have made my life the happiest and best! Thanks for providing a safe and happy home and the love only a father can give his daughter (the sentiments work for both the special daddies in my life)!
And a happy Father's day to the Father who is loved by my sweet hubby!
So our little Grace is getting quite a wild personality! she is so fun! She loves to laugh and play, but beware, if something makes our cute and happy little baby upset--she is very capable of letting you know how she feels. So I've gotten a few of Grace's faces on camera--so darn funny yhe way she expresses herself!
