Okay... It's been awhile!

I know that it has been quite some time since we have updated this site. My goal is to start actually doing it more often. Grace is growing up so fast. We are talking as if we could carry on an entire converstation with others who speak babble. Her favorite words are "Mama", "Dada", "Sock", "Bye-Bye", "Oh Boy", and a few others. Here are some of her recent pictures:

Belly Laughing

Grace found Yoda for the very first time! It is amazing to know that your child is that happy and enjoying life!

After the Storm

Today, we had an interesting afternoon. A tornado decided to visit out street and cause damage throughout our entire subdivision. We are very lucky as you will see via the photos. The tree scraped the back of the home. And if the gutter is the only damage there, we are looking good.

The winds were so strong that it moved our air conditioning compresser. We had high tops in our front yard. Our garbage can was across the street in the back yard of a neighbor. The lid was completely down the street 8 houses down. The front mat is still MIA. We have fencing from another neighbor's home in the yard.

And finally, part of our roof is missing. Right above Grace's room is a chunk of roof shingles missing.

Oh well, life goes on. We still have a home . . . Charles

My 13lbs Angel

Who would have thought that my precious baby girl is already 13lbs. and 24 inches long!!!

Is she really 1 month aready?

Wow! Time flies by so quickly!!! Let's see... This past month we have had Ben, Laura, Chuck, Tricia, Papa, Barbara, Roger, Diane, Katie, Cathie, and Missy all either come in town and stay at our house or at my mother's house to visit sweet Gracie. Along with all the visitors, we have had Grace's baptism and luncheon.

Milestones:
1. Holds her head up quite well and will lay on her stomach and does just fine. She even will pick her head up and turn it if she wants.

2. Drinks 4 to 4 1/2 oz. every 4 to 5 hours

3. Loves to sit in the Boppy and watch the room around her

The best Christmas Gifts

Little did I know that other than my sweet precious daughter and getting engaged to my husband close to christmas that the best christmas gift ever was hearing my doctor say that I could do the following on christmas day:
1. Take a bath again! Not that I don't shower now, but I can't wait for my bubble baths again!

2. DRIVE-- it's been several months since I could drive due to bed rest and then the C-Section

3. Pick up my daughter in her car seat! YEAH, I can finally get out of the house, run errands, and take her with me!!!!!
