Checking things out on Grandma & Grandpa's boat

I love bath time!

I know I said that I would have lots of pics to post from Labor Day weekend, but I need to get them from Megan! She has some great ones on her myspace. We had lots of fun in GR - there's never ennough time! grace has been crawling for about a month now and is really getting close to walking. It won't be long now!! She also has 4 more teeth on top! She just started saying "mama" so I am pretty excited :)

It's about time!

First fireworks! (the re-do for Festival on the Bay)

Thumbs up for boating!

Ahoy!

It's about time that I got some pics posted again! These are from a few weeks ago. We've had a lot going on lately. I'm sure everyone knows by now, but Gracie is going to be a big sister in the end of March. It happened a little sooner than we planned, but we're very excited to expand our family! I should have lots of pictures to post after this weekend, we're headed to see Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Megan in Grand Rapids for Labor Day weekend. Enjoy the holiday!!

Eventful weekend

Gracie's new face

We had a busy weekend. My parents came to visit and we celebrated Matt's 30th birthday! Grace has been coming up with new things every couple of days. This weekend it was sticking out her tongue and shaking her head no. This little girl cracks me up!!!

My blue-eyed girl

Just a few pics from today, and a couple from last week of Gracie and her daddy in front of the bay. She's getting so big! Grace is grabbing our hands and pulling herself up - pretty quickly too! It won't be long now before she is cruising around on all of the furniture. She is also super close to having her two top front teeth in. They have been trying to push through for over a month, poor thing! She's handling it pretty well though. Grandma & Grandpa are coming to visit this weekend so we are looking forward to seeing them again. Next time it is our turn to head back to GR.

First trip to da U.P., eh?

My parents, Megan and my uncle from FL came to visit so we thought we'd do the cheesey tourist thing and take them to Mackinaw City and across the bridge (Dad, Meg, Uncle Andy and Grace had never seen the bridge or been to the U.P.). So we decided it would be funny to stop at Castle Rock and climb it. It was exhausting! Especially carying an extra 20 lbs in that heat! Luckily about 3/4 of the way up there was a bench so Grandma & Gracie waited there while the rest of us climbed to the top. We have a couple of cool pics from the top of the straits of Mackinaw.

Ride Em' Cowgirl!

Another post with miscellaneous pics. It seems like we've been nothing but busy lately. Anyway, here are some pics of Gracie trying out her "new" pony, playing on her boppy pillow, standing (and walking with assistance) and drinking juice all by herself out of a sippy cup. I can't believe she is getting so big- 8 months already!!!!!

Quick update

We've been so busy lately, I just wanted to take a quick minute to update some pictures of Gracie. We have lots of family in town/coming so there's sure to be some great pics. Stay tuned!!!

Happy 4th everyone!!!!!!!
