May, we move ahead?

What a crazy couple of weeks that I can't even keep track of in my head. Here is our last photo in Gracie's Parker bedroom and it is the annual Mother's Day photo in her rocker. Man things have changed in a year and I can't believe how much more I love the little lady everyday.


With the move we did have to leave her friends Ava & Ella. She still asks for them and here is a photo of the happy little ladies on the last day. We continue to try and get the girls together. Last week we actually got them together after Gracie's trip to the Dr because of her dislocated elbow ligament. She was walking on a retaining wall with Adam holding her hand and when she decided to get down Adam tried to help keep her up. That caused our little lady to experience one of the most common problems that kids experience. Luckily she was such a trouper about the pain and discomfort. The Dr was great and took care of it quickly, but I don't know how I will/would handle a trip to the ER.

This weekend we were able to enjoy some time in the mountains hiking and getting the house even more together...though it is far from being unpacked. The ladies enjoyed some wonderful time with the EEE & Abba. Oh the fun.


Gracie updates:

She is learning to test her boundaries at all times. Sunday had three timeouts because her feet continued to find their way to the dinner table.

Speaking of dinner, she always asking for more prayer during a meal. She likes to request who will say the prayer and she ends with Ah. Men. So sweet.

Her vocab continues to expand with so many words. It is so nice to have her tell us what she thinks. Now when she is hurt she will point to the part of the body that hurts and will either say hurt or ouch or tell me what caused the pain.

Today with her hair in pigtails she looked a bit like Pippy Longstocking, oh so cute with strawberry blonde hair.
