Mother's Day, Father's Day 2010 and More

We are experiencing many firsts with our daughter. My first Mother's Day was wonderful and I believe Joey can say the same about Father's Day. Our gifts were both from the Paintn' Place in Bowling Green and it is something to cherish! Gracie is growing up so fast. At her 9 month check up Dr. Kelly said she can start eating table foods so we got her first taste of pancakes, scrambled eggs, gravy and mashed potatoes in the past 24 hrs. She loves real food! She went for a checkup at Vanderbilt this week too and everything still looks great! We are very lucky to have a happy, healthy, little girl!

Summer is here!

Over the past few weeks I have wrapped up the end of school with kindergarten graduation, closing day, and two professional developments on the new math series. I am so glad to be home for the summer and spend time with Gracie. I am taking my 6th master class (4 more to go) and I will finish it up the last week of June, then I can officially be free for the summer. It amazes me to see Gracie change from day to day. She is saying, bye-bye, papaw (so Papaw says), and hi. He giggles when I blow on her tummy or tickle her under her chin. She smiles when I throw Addy in the air at grandma's house, she kicks her feet in the big pool, and she loves to throw things in the floor so I will have to pick them up (this is her favorite game I believe). Above are some pictures of Gracie making daddy a Father's Day gift at the Paintn' Place, and a few places she likes to nap.
