They're Here!!! Pre- 1st Birthday

Krista and Andy arrived here on Friday afternoon. We had such a great time,,,, I can't believe it's over!! BOO HOO!! Grace loved opening her presents. Thank you both for everything!!! Aunt Penny and Uncle Dave were with us on Friday too. MAN,,,, I didn't take any pictures. We went swimming at the hotel they stayed in on Thursday. That was fun. Grace loves the water!!! I will post our weekend together. We went downtown and did a few things together. Again,,,,, what a great weekend!!

Company Time

Is this not the cutest dress? OK this is my last post today,,,, and probably for a while! BECAUSE..... Aunt Krista and Uncle Andy are coming tomorrow morning,,, and Aunt Penny and Uncle Dave are here now!! SO,,, we will be busy with company. BUT, this picture was last Sunday before church. That was the day she couldn't stay b/c it was full. BUT- Tuesday went great. I had bible study, and she lasted for almost 2 hours. She was very tired and missed me (I'm sure) so they buzzed me towards the end. But that was ok,,, I was missing her too. Plus,, i had to get the car returned on time. I was very proud of her. :)

Saturday Jog

Yup,,, we still all go jogging every Saturday morning!!! We started this in Houston. Before Grace,,, Adeyiza and I would go on Saturdays. When Grace came along,,,, when she got older,,, we took her along with us!! Now,,, we have continued the tradition. The only thing that is changing,,,,, is the weather!!! A bit cold some mornings. BUT- we bundle her up and head to the Charles River!!

Harvard Square

Last weekend we took a trip to Harvard Square. What a beautiful campus. It makes me want to go back to college. We were walking out of the Curious George store and all of a sudden a marching band starting playing down the street. Grace was watching them the whole time. We then walked around a bit before dinner. It was nice time!!!!

Picnic Time at Charles Park

We had a fun afternoon at the park today. Keen (the little boy) fell asleep on the way there,,,, so Grace had to start eating her lunch with out him. He soon woke up ,,,, and Grace was SO excited!!! She even pulled his ear, pinched his cheek, and gave him a hug. See the squirrel in the background??? It was coming up so close to us,,,, I had to shoo it away!!! Anyway,,, they had a blast!!! I believe Grace will go to bed early tonight. She is actually on her way now!!!

Swingin' with my Buddy!!

This was on Thursday. They are so cute together. We are so glad we met them. On Friday night they had us all over for dinner. Indian food!!!! YUM it was so good!!! She is going to teach me how to cook some day. The kids played and the adults talked and ate!!!! Oh and then we went to church Sunday! They were FULL!!! SO we HAD to keep her. It was OK though,,, we still were able to hear the message. Tomorrow is my first day of bible study. I decided to go to one at our church. I've never rented the car by myself, and lately Grace is having a hard time riding w/o me in the back with her, so I hope all goes well. Plus,,,, this will give her some play time with other kids,,,,,and ME,,,, time to meet people at our church. Possible play dates in the making:)

Head Turn!!!

OK this is one more CUTE thing she started. So while she eats, she will turn her head towards her high chair and try her hardest to look at me. She waits for me to do it too,,,, then we both turn our heads fast and look at each other. OH WOW,,,, she laughs SOOOOO hard!!!! It's the funniest thing!!! Her menu for breakfast in this picture: Healthy Nut bread (yup I know) , Eggs, and a pear. She loves her breakfast!!!! OH and I can't forget the Wa Wa!!!

Mason, Lance, and Kaitlyn

For all the family members,,,, you know what I'm talking about!! My nephews and niece,,, constantly say to Grace, "Where's Grace?" "Peek-A-Boo" Over, and over, and over, and over again! WELL,,, NOW Grace has learned how to do it just like them.

Thank you Mason, Lance, and Kaitlyn for teaching Grace this FUN trick!!! Guess what Aunt Anna has to do all day?????????? YUP play Peek-A-Boo!!!!

The Eensy Weensy Spider

No matter WHAT mood she is in,,,, no matter WHERE we are,,, no matter WHAT time it is,,,, no matter WHAT we are doing,,, when I start to sing the Eensy Weensy Spider,,,, she STOPS and does these hand movements and has the BIGGEST smile ever!! It has to be the cutest thing she is doing right now. Well that's not all. While I am singing,,, she tries to sing along. She will go "ba ba,, da da,, wa wa,,, " All the words she knows,,, but with me while I am singing,, ALL while doing her hand movements. I tell you!! She is so funny!! These pictures were before bed.,, after her bath. We usually play before books. She is still having a tough time teething. Last night poor Adeyiza came home and then left to walk her to sleep. I was trying for an hour to keep her content, but she was just not happy. So ,,,,, daddy saved the night!! With this teething stuffy nose,,, it's hard for her to breath!! She is on hour 2 for her nap now,,, so that's good!!! I may need one too : )
