Disney Live!

We decided to go to Disney Live as a fun birthday activity for Gracie. As you can see from the pictures, Gracie was estatic and her facial expressions were priceless.  She was quite entertaining for the surrounding families - I guess we should have charged admission to the Gracie show - JK. She stood on the chair for the whole 75 minute show and got to see Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Winne the Pooh, and Little Einsteins.  She clapped and danced and screamed throughout the show.  We all had a good time and I guess will have to try and make it to a Sesame Street show next year.

Evie's 1 Month Old!

Miss Evie is a month old already! It's been a long month though. A month of adjustments - two kids, a more fussy baby, sleep deprivation.  Its pretty busy at our house, but well worth all the work.  Evie is pretty fussy in the evening hours, which we contribute to gas and upset stomach.  We've tried new bottles and now new formula, so hopefully it works.  She just can't get comfortable and is inconsoleable. Other than that and a little constipation, she's an awesome baby. The poor dear has to deal with Gracie messing with her all the time.  I think Gracie is determined to give her at least 50 kisses a day. She loves her alot and so do we! I just have to get her days and nights switched around - she'll sleep for good lengths of time during the day which is nice, but then she's up at least every two hours during the night.  I'm sure it will come with time.

Happy 2nd Birthday Gracie!

Well, I can't believe that Gracie is 2 already!  She had a lot of fun opening the presents and definitely liked blowing out the candles.  She would say over and over "Again?"  She had to be a patient girl and wait for Dad to come home on the weekend to open up her gifts. Hope you had a good birthday Gracie!

Vala's 2009

We went to Vala's this year on Sunday, October 18th.  Gracie had a lot of fun, but was scared of the little kid haunted houses. I think just because it was dark.  She especially liked seeing all of the pumpkins and getting to ride on the choo choo train. I guess it was everybody else's plan to go to Vala's on the 18th also.  It was packed and lines were long to do anything-eat, rides, attractions, you name it.  We arrived early around 10:30th and left around 2:30. The line to get into Vala's when we left was unreal-like 5 miles long. We were glad we went early and plan on attending during the week next year :)

October Snow!

Ok mother nature; what the heck is going on here? Snow on October 10th? And a pretty decent amount too; like 2-3 inches. This really was Gracie's first experience playing out in the snow. She thought it was great! And as you can see, she was having fun eating it. I'm going to have to teach her about the old saying don't eat yellow snow.  We only played for about 10 or so minutes as her fingers got pretty cold even with her gloves on.
