Sweet Grace...

Our precious little girl is growing so fast! This post is going to be pretty much all about our darling Grace. I think Adam will understand... :) But first, I feel like I am the most blessed woman in the world! I know that every mother probably feels that way, or in my opinion, should feel that way. Every baby is an amazing miracle from the Lord! I just know that in spite of those moments of chaos and disorder, I wake up each morning praising the Lord for my sweet children. I LOVE, and I truly do mean LOVE, being Adam and Grace's mommy and I look forward to each new day with them! As you can see, Grace is growing like a weed!! She will be 4 months in just a few days and is adding more and more joy to our lives all the time. She has been doing tons of babbling and laughing those adorable baby belly laughs and has a smile that lights up any room instantly. Unfortunatly, I can never get her to give me a good smile for the camera. She must be camera-shy like her mom. She rolled over from belly to back for the first time on Friday morning. It was just one time and she hasn't done it for me again since, but it was still an exciting moment. She will have her 4 month check-up on November 4, so we'll see where she is weight-wise, but I swear she is almost the same size as Adam! She is getting so big! Some of our friends recently had a baby girl who weighed only 6 lbs. 1 oz. and it's hard to believe that Grace is only 3 1/2 months older than baby Emma. My, how fast they change! Well, here are just a few cute shots for your enjoyment:

This was taken right after her bath. I love all of her curly hair!

Sorry about Grace's creepy eyes in this one. They actually looked even more creepy before I played with the red eye feature, so I decided to stick with this one. I just thought it was a cute shot. Adam loves his sister and always wants to be where she is, doing what she's doing.


It was a little chilly outside, so I put this adorable little hat on her.


I love the lips in this one. :)


Holding her head up so nicely. She was sooo tired in this pic...

Cedarville reunion and other random pics...

Well, this past weekend, we were able to head to Cedarville University for Stephen's 10 year class reunion. We had such an enjoyable time! It was great for Stephen to get to reunite with some of his good college friends and for me to be able to meet them.


While there, we were able to take a little hike around this Gorge. It was a beautiful day...Adam really enjoyed himself!

I thought I'd just throw in some cute shots of the babies...I couldn't resist! :)

Some shots of Adam reading...he's really beginning to LOVE books!

My parents gave Adam this little rocking chair, which he loves. We thought he looked so cute sitting in it in this little outfit.


Our friends the Woodards gave Grace this beautiful blanket with her name embroidered on it...we love it SO much!
