The Yard Work Weekend

Last weekend we spent the whole time working in the yard. First we had to remove a whole bunch of shale rocks that were falling apart. We then had to replace them with alan blocks. Next we rescraped the hill going into the backyard with a little bobcat and finally we tidied up in the back fourty. Grace enjoyed playing in the bucket of the bobcat and then Kelly took her for a little ride, which she loved. We still have a few things left in the backyard to do, like put in stairs from our upper deck to the ground and a couple stairs from the lower deck to the ground. Fun times around here with the yard.

Grace, the Cat

Kelly, in all his wisdom, thought that he would leave the sliding door open with the cat door closed, I told him that Gracie was still small enough to fit through, but he said "Oh no she's not". Well, I was right. Now it is a fun game.

Good Friday

Wow, could Friday's weather have been any more beautiful? Kelly and I took Gracie to Beacon Hill park and to the petting zoo, she loved it. The baby goats were the cutest thing I have ever seen, Gracie was not really to interested in petting them though, she was happy just to be running around outside. She was quite funny naming all the animals that we saw, a miniature pony, a donkey, some chickens, some baby bunnies and a lot of ducks. We went over to the children's park as well, she loves to swing. She was even patient while waiting for her turn on a whale ride, we were quite impressed. She was so good, she just walked and ran all over the park. We stopped at Home Depot on the way out of Victoria and once we were back in the truck she passed out, I don't think we even made it back to the highway before she was sound asleep, so cute, drool and all.

Time Flies

Wow! Time has really gotten away from lately, I'm sorry it's been so long since my last entry, no excuse really. There really isn't too much new around here, Gracie is finally getting some more teeth. She has all four front ones, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom, she has three molars, at least they have come in "on time" and she is finally cutting some more. I was beginning to think that she may never get them. Daycare is going really well for her, she is learning something new everyday, it's crazy. We just got her 18 month shots, that was a rough day for Daddy, as he had her all day. Recently Diva, our big cat, has taken to sitting on the edge of the tub when Gracie is bathing, I am dreading the day she falls in, hopefully that never happens. There is not too much else going on around here, kind of boring. Well, more to come later, I guess.
