It is April 28th and GRACE IS 1!!!

If you are wondering why it has taken me 4 whole months to post something new- welcome to my busy world!! However, here are some updates about the highlights of our last 4 months.

Naturally, the biggest milestone was Grace turning 1!! We had a wonderful day!!! The biggest surprise was that my sister, Aunt Lisa, came all the way from Vancouver, WA and surprised us for Grace's birthday weekend!!!! This was absolutely AWESOME- I was so excited that she could be with us to help us celebrate!! We were joined by many friends and family- my friend, Delta, also came to help me prepare for the weekend. True to form, I over extended myself and I was so greatful for the extra help!!


The weekend began with Grace's 1 year pictures by Abbey Saxton! She was fabulous!! Some of our favorites....

Next.....PARTY!!!!
