Random things

It is the end of a long weekend and instead of getting ready for work tomorrow I am posting pictures of Grace. Priorities!
I had a great weekend. Thanksgiving, my friend Kim Mayo's babyshower, and four days full of Grace!

Here are couple of recent pictures of the little beast. These days Grace loves her swing, bathtime, sucking her thumb and smiling and talking to Mom and Dad. She hates being hungry, taking naps during the day (she might miss something) and wearing hats.

Thanksgiving

The Smiths celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday since Matthew was at the firestation on the "real" Thanksgiving. We had a huge meal and enjoyed being around our extended family.
Here are a few things I am thankful for:
-My wonderful husband and our amazing daughter
-Matthew and Laura
-Good health
-Being wise enough to know that Thanksgiving is not a day but a way to live my life...because it is easy to get caught up and forget about the little things that make me happy

P.S Grace enjoyed being in the mix of the celebration. She had such a good time and was wiped out when we came home.

Grace goes to "school"

Last week was a major adjustment for the whole family. Sarah went back to work and Grace went to "school". This is what we call it to combat Mommy Guilt. (Kids have to go to school, right?!) Despite some tears on Monday everyone seemed to be okay. The picture of Grace sums up our feelings about getting up at 5:45 and leaving at 7:15 am.

Unfortunately, Grace caught a cold during her first week. All weekend she has been sneezing,stuffed up and spitting up her formula . She went to see Dr McPhee today who reported nothing major is wrong with her. We are a bit frustrated that she got sick right off the bat. We are supposed to get her a humidifier. Looks like we are of to Walmart again!
