Special Men in her life

This week was fun for me to really see what a big influence the men in Gracie's live have on her. Here are a couple examples of how much she already is influenced.

Earlier this week when she saw my dad, Grandpa, she just couldn't get enough of him and hugged him for over a min. She knows he is as huggable as a teddy bear and couldn't help herself. This morning we were looking at photos that included the Peters family photo form last year.
Gracie looked right at Neil, aka Papa, and screamed PaPa. She was so excited to see him that she just kept pointing and screaming Papa. Then she noticed Daddy in the photo and would take turns screaming Papa or Dada while pointing at the photo.

She is loved unconditionally by so many really great men in her life and we are so blessed that they can watch her grow while helping to show her how she should be treated by men in the future. As a woman myself, if you didn't know that already, I can tell you that a healthy relationship with male role models is so important for a girl as she matures. There are so many women that are not so lucky. Thank you all for your wonderful support.
