Noooooooooooo!

Grace can be passionate about many things in life...books, art, music, sports, dolls, cars, etc. BUT please God don't let her love trains! I am ready for a change after 3 1/2 years of living/loving my little train enthusiast, Sawyer.

All aboard!

The boys headed off to Chicago for a two day excursion with Grandma and Grandpa. A train ride, the Science and Industry Museum, sleeping on the top floor (the 19th) of the hotel, eating way more sweets than Mommy allows, swimming in the hotel pool, visiting the Hancock Tower and spending special time with Grandma and Grandpa all made for a perfect mini-vacation for Jack and Sawyer. They are lucky little guys!

Flying solo

Grandma and Grandpa whisked her brothers away to Chicago for a couple days, so Grace is enjoying her experience as an only child. What a change!

Elegant errands

Grace and I enjoy our time together while her brothers are in school. After she plays, has breakfast and takes her nap, we often have a couple errands to run on the way to pick up Sawyer from ECDC. Gracie likes to look cute even when her day consists of a trip to Walmart and Chipoltle with Mommy and Grandma. Any day can be a tutu day!

Slimey Smiles

Grandma and Grandpa came to town to visit us for a couple weeks, and the boys got to make/play with slime on Sunday. Smiles galore in South Bend these days.

Great Eight

March Madness is almost upon us, so Grace thought it was fitting that she turned eight months old yesterday. She has definitely made these past eight months great...actually perfect. This soft, smiley, beautiful, funny, cuddly, smart, patient, lovable, chatty, irresistible and nearly mobile girl is the icing on top of the cake for our little family.

Pardon the grainy photos, but blogging is so much easier/quicker with my I-phone. Efficiency is paramount these days!

Not so subtle hint

All morning Sawyer has insisted that I refer to him as the "zookeeper." His animals have visited the vet, explored the jungle, "fallen down a waterfall" (which the zookeeper loves for me to be very upset about) and enjoyed some "yummy pet food."

I'm thinking Sawyer might want a pet. Sorry, zookeeper, I am busy enough these days with my three wild animals!
