Happy 3rd Birthday Grace

 

 

 

 

We had a fun birthday for Grace today. The day started with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese, which they enjoyed quite a bit. Later on we had presents and a party, complete with confetti being thrown all over. Grandma(Mom) sent a singing Dora card which was a big hit and Grace loves her other presents also. We are very grateful to Lisa for introducing us to Ponyville ponies (small my-little-ponies with accessories and fun buildings). We have quite the village now and the girls play with them almost every day for long periods of time. Grace got a new Ponyville bubblegum house today (with more accessories) and it's very cute. We are very grateful to have Grace in our family. She is so sweet and spicy and joyful and we love her tons.
We love you all too! Have a great week!

Princess Grace

Today we were talking to Grace about her birthday next Saturday (she will be 3). She's old enough now to look forward to it and help us plan a little bit. We were asking her what kind of cake she wants. I suggested some themes like- Care Bears, Princesses, etc. She said she wanted a Princess cake, so I asked her who her favorite Princess was. She thought for just a second and confidently answered- "ME!" :) :) Have a great week! Love, Aubrey

Smile!

 

 

Hi Everyone!
BethAnne lost a top front tooth today and we think she looks very cute! Grace is adorable too so I thought I'd include a picture of her also. Things here are going pretty well. I am resting a lot and going to lots of Doctor's appointments and I'm stable. I am 26 weeks along now and we are very hopeful that I will be able to go many more weeks before the baby comes. BethAnne is healing well now, she's practically back to normal. Part of her incision above her belly button opened up a couple weeks ago and it got bigger and bigger (until it was about two inches long, an inch wide and an inch deep). It was pretty scary for awhile (we made sure to see the doctor often and get a second opinion). There was nothing we could do except pack it with gauze twice a day and let it heal from the inside out. We are happy to report now that it is starting to get noticeably better and smaller. So we can all breathe a little easier now. Mark has been busy at work and home lately, but he seems happy. We love Microsoft and their health benefits. We are really grateful to have Mark's mom here helping out this summer and Mark's dad is here some of the time too. They have been lifesavers and the kids are loving all the time with Nana and Papa. So, that's our report. I hope you are all doing well. We love you!
Love, Aubrey
