A LOT to blog about.......


We've had A LOT going on around our house over the past week, so I decided to try and fit 3 events into one entry. First up: our new wagon! Grace got a new wagon in the mail from Nana and Papa and she absolutely LOVES it.....to say the least!! Anytime I mention going outside, she instantly says, " Waggy, waggy!" I've said forever now that she is destined to be an engineer because she loves figuring out how things work and trying to take things apart and put them back together again. Here are a couple pictures of Grace "helping" Matt put the wagon together and one picture of them pretty excited about the final product!! Thank you again Nana and Papa!!













Last week, Grace and I tried out a new program called Mommy and Me. It is offered twice a month through a local church, and each week has its own theme. This week was called, "It's all about Me." The hour starts off with singing and dancing then the kids are allowed to roam from station to station at their leisure. There were tubs filled with rice and measuring cups, puzzles, cowboy, fireman, and butterfly costumes, "wall coloring", and FINGERPAINTING!! How we got out of there without getting paint all over everything is beyond me! Grace visited the painting station 3 times and LOVED playing in the rice. We can't wait until the next program because this child loved it!!

















Finally, Grace and I got to babysit for little Jalen on Friday and Saturday. He is an angel baby and hardly made a peep! He would just look at Grace while she rambled on about who knows what and turn to me with a look that said, "WHAT did she just say??" :) Grace took it all in stride, and by the end of the first day she was crawling around the house saying, "Wa, Wa!" haha She was an old pro by Saturday and turned into quite the little helper. She got Jalen's toy and "me" when it was time for his naps, and loved "assisting" with his bottles! :) On Sunday night while we were eating supper, she kept saying, "Dana (Jalen) where are you?" How cute! Here are some pictures of our two days with "Dana." In the picture to the right, Grace was "helping" me get Jalen out of the pack-n-play after his nap. haha







The next two pictures are showing Grace "reading" Jalen a book and playing peek-a-boo during lunch.
















Jalen seems to love our wagon also....hint, hint Santa! :) Come back anytime!















Well that's all for now. 10-4 and out!
