Sundays Are Great!

I know its been awhile since my last entry, but not too much has happened around here lately. Last weeknd we attended a wedding reception in Nanaimo, I think that Gracie stole the show. She was very good and thankfully not the only little person there. Today Kelly and I took Gracie to the the park, she loves the swings, the weather was just too nice to pass it up. I must say though, that with no sun shining on the park, it was a little chilly. Well that's about it from here so I hope that you are all enjoying my little blog. Ta, ta for now.

I Almost Peed My Pants...

I thought I was going to pee my pants, Gracie decided that she would like to wear my winter boots. They are taller than her legs are long and when she looked at me while she was wearing them, my eyes filed with tears and it was all I could do to get up off the couch and grab the camera. She was so proud of herself, she then decided that she would follow me to the bathroom, which is all the way down the hall, all I could hear from the bathroom was this stomp, shuffle, stomp, shuffle. Oh, my gosh, the funniest thing ever.

Rathtrevor Beach

What a glorious Sunday I have just spent with my family. Kelly, Grace and I hopped in the car and headed for Rathtrevor Beach, which for those of you that don't know it is in Parksville. We spent an hour walking along the beach looking at shells and searching for crabs, we never did see any crabs. Grace did so well walking on all the rocks and through the sand. In total we probably wandered up the beach about a mile. We came across two beautifully intact
snail shells, we brought them home and Kelly got them all cleaned up, they look great. We came home and had an awesome dinner and a really nice visit with Kelly's dad and Steph. I am looking forward to a summer full of walks on the beach.

My Daughter, The Scholar

Gracie has this little chair that she hasn't sat in for months because she is a little to small to be able to get in and out without help, but this morning, she discovered she has grown enough to do it herself! She then grabbed one of her books from beside the chair and started to read to her doll Maddie, it was just about the cutest thing I had ever seen. I couldn't resist telling you all about it, so enjoy.

Another Year Gone!

Wow! It is so hard to believe that another year has come and gone already. We had a great Christmas and an uneventful New Year. We spent most of Christmas Day at my mum and dad's, which was very relaxing. Gracie was so good, she enjoyed all her gifts and is still playing with all of them. She had a couple of very late nights however, Christmas Eve was spent at my Uncle Les' and then over to Stef's (for those of you that don't know, that is Dave's girlfriend), I think 10ish was Gracie's bedtime and then Christmas day was about 9pm. Ah well, it was Christmas. New Year's was extremely uneventful, my parents came over for drinks and appies, and went home about 9:30, my dad was falling asleep on the couch, we also didn't make midnight, maybe 11ish, HA HA. All in all it has been a great holiday season and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year. We wish you all the best.
