Happy 5th Birthday!

My baby celebrated her 5th birthday on Monday. It's so hard to believe that Grace is now 5 years old! She had a wonderful time. I took her and two friends to the local Pottery store to paint some pieces on Friday night and on Monday she celebrated with Grandma V. and then with us and the Evans family at Chuck E. Cheese. She really wanted a Barbie cake this year. Our local talent was away on vacation, so I tried it myself! It looked pretty good!

Seven already!

Michael and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. It's wonderful how many things can change in only that short of time.

Height: 26 inches

Weight: 16 lbs.!! (Yippee!)

He is just so precious when he's sleeping. He's begun moving his animals around in his bed too.

For those who have been following Luke's "Not Gaining Weight" Saga, the boy seems to be on the recovery. He came in at 16 lbs on Monday, which means in two weeks, he gained 13.5 ounces in two weeks - way more than the 3.5 he had been doing. So, Momma's excited and calming down a bit...

Visiting Miss S.

My niece, Sofia Ann, was born the beginning of February. Due to 2 snow storms, we were delayed in seeing her until she was almost 2 weeks old. Grace loves her, Audrey thinks she is neat, and Luke didn't really seem to care. :0) It was fun seeing my brother as a daddy. Here are more pictures from our visit.
