The three weeks before turning one

Since it has been a month since my last post we are going to cover a few weeks. Lucky me got to spend a night with my goddaughter and her brother. It was such a joy to spend time with them and Gracie got some really good daddy-daughter time.

Just before Labor Day weekend Gracie and I were able to take a quick trip to KC. Hillary and the family were such warm hosts, Hill even watched Gracie for a day while I worked, and Maddie couldn't get enough of Gracie. Here is Maddie giving love to her. What a wonderful trip which I survived traveling with Gracie on my own. Gracie did great on the flights and slept pretty good. Now that she is older she is well aware of her surroundings and if we are in the room. This lead to our trip to the farm for Labor Day.

Labor Day was pretty quiet with a trip to the farm to get some work done. Gracie even tried to help Mommy attach gliders to the bottoms of the chairs. She is following in her mothers love of projects.

Adam volunteered at a CSU prep rally event that included many different fun activities for kids. We were lucky the event surprisingly drew Adam's brother and family. Here are photos of our little cheerleader from the wonderful CSU rally

Adam was very excited when CSU beat CU at the Rocky Mtn. Showdown. So awesome!!! After this fun I had to take a trip to ATL for work. Being away from Gracie is hard and Adam is such a wonderful father to me Mr. Mom during these times, not to mention my mom and Nicole.

The week before her birthday was a busy week too. We were able to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary. The anniversary dinner included my folks, aunt & uncle, family friends, and Brad with dinner provided by a chef. What a wonderful reason to celebrate!

Next onto her birthday fun....
