Early Christmas Present....

Jake found someone who is just about his size!

He wants to get up in Grace's lap!
Jake, you are supposed to go down the slide.... not up!

Taking a rest

Jake still nips.. so Grace wasn't too pleased with that...
especially after he took her socks off!

Jake is an early gift.... for Uncle Steve. Not Grace:-) But he sure is a lot of fun. Grace wanted to play with him and she even showed him how to go down her slide! Take a look!

Thanksgiving Day Fun

Grace and Savannah!!!!

Grace just squealed at Savannah!!! and Savannah was well behaved.

YUMMMMMM

Couldn't get the binky out of her mounth!!!! Not even for the picture.

Thanksgiving Turkey

Grace is a true turkey, though she wouldn't touch it until we got to a friend's house on Thanksgiving. We had finished telling everyone that she wouldn't eat the turkey, then fresh out of the oven it comes and she gobbles it up... HAHAHA.......

Grace has also enjoyed taking a music class this fall. We started during the summer and she enjoyed it so much we continued in the fall. She has made a few friends and seems to enjoy the movement and the music. She is a dancer and she will dance to just about anything, including hymns:-) I am only attaching the pictures that don't have other kids in them.. The video is great!!! She loves playing the instruments... maybe Santa is watching!

Have You Seen Me Walk???

Many of you have not seen Grace since she decided to take off about two months ago. She took her first steps in the middle of August but had the walking down pat by mid-September. By the time her birthday came around, she was running! I keep trying to catch her in the act of something funny but she seems to be camera shy... who would have thought. I will try really hard to get holiday pictures up regularly....

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Grace's new cousin, to be born in December to Tim and Janice and big brother Clark!!! We can't wait and we are thinking of you guys!!!

Trunk or Treat at Church

Playing with the cones in the parking lot is much more fun than trick or treating....

I can't eat the candy anyway!!!
I'm outta here.....
