6 months old!

These are the best pics I could get from her 6 month old shoot....She wasn't very smiley that day.....Abby is getting so big, and is starting to laugh a lot more and play with her toys.  She rolls over occasionally, but she is such a laid back baby that she is content to just lay on her mat and play with her toys, or have somebody hold her! :)  She is such a great traveler and loves her sisters so much!






I love this picture of her sweet hand grabbing her toes!  I could eat them up!

Mother's Day!

I had a great Mother's day with my 3 sweet baby girls.....This was the best pic I could get.  Abby's face cracks me up, she looks like she's about to start screaming!  I promise she loves her big sisters.  Even though my husband is far away, my girls made my day special....They bought me dishes, because all of mine are broken in the storage unit....and they both made me the sweetest cards and little crafts from church and school!  I love my sweet girls!



Also, Gracie won a basket of goodies for signing up for sports camp.  Her name got drawn and she won a OSU basket, she loves her water bottle and bracelet!

First Soccer Practice!

The girls are on an indoor soccer team, and they had their first practice!  Gracie did great, and Emma liked it, but would rather play in the dirt! :)

Birthday Party: Spring Garden Party...Happy Birthday Gracie!

Birthday Celebration Part 2! Tea Party!

Birthday Celebration part 1: Pinkitzle....and Chinese

Gracie celebrated her first of 3 birthday celebrations on her actual birthday, April 17th!  The day started with her waking up to presents...her favorite was the bike that I happened to get at a yard sale the day before for super cheap!



We then went to church, then met the rest of my family and Nana and Gigi (Steven's mom and Grandma) at a Chinese restaurant.....Gracie's favorite food of all time!   After lunch we went to the cutest cupcake/candy shop called Pinkitzle ( which means tickled pink in German)  Soooo super cute!




 

Happy Birthday to My Sweet Gracie!

I can't believe that Gracie is 5 years old today!  Steven is so sad to miss her special day, but we got to skype with him for about an hour tonight.  He got up at 4:30 am, so he would be sure to see her!  What a sweet Daddy!


Gracie, the Lord blessed us by giving us such a sweet and gentle spirit in a beautiful girl.  Your Daddy and I love your heart, how you love to obey your parents and do the right thing, how you are sweet, kind, and patient with your little sister Emma, and how you love to share with her.  We are so thankful that you love Abby so much, you enjoy making her laugh and smile, and how you help Mommy so much with the baby, especially with Daddy being gone.



Gracie we love you so much.....you truely are our miracle girl....We didn't think we would be able to have children, and the Lord blessed us by giving us you, 5 years ago.  Your Daddy and I are so excited to see what the next year holds, and I know your Daddy misses you so much, and can't wait to see you!
