Mike didn't know you had to flip these before you post them, if there is another way to do it, please let us know.
My cute little babe is starting to smile a lot lately. She is so fun to have around.
Look at Gracie's expression here. She looks scared to death, like Max is going to drop her or something.
Grandma Bev and beautiful little Gracie on her blessing day, Oct. 11, 2009.
Mike's Dad Dave, Grandpa and Grandma Kjar, and Ty and Whitney.
Lisa and Max playing in Max's room. Max will never look at me, and Lisa wants me to take a million pics to capture every expression she can think of.
Mom, Cassie, Dad, Grandpa Ray, Andie and Zac. No one will smile for the camera! Thanks for the spirit finger Cass!
All the beautiful ladies that came to the blessing.
All the great men that participated in her blessing.Gracie is exactly 3 months old today! I can't believe how fast time flies! She is still acting like a newborn and wakes up every 3 hours to eat (like clockwork). She is so cute and peaceful all the time, she is a great baby, despite her occasional fussiness. I feel really awful because I forgot to invite a lot of wonderful people to her blessing! There's no excuse for this, but we have been really busy lately. Mike just started recruiting again, and classes just started for my new performing arts studio. I have been a LITTLE stressed lately. So I'm sorry if you didn't receive an invitation!
We have had a lot of fun challenges this year. This week Max and I experienced the SWINE FLU first hand, and Mikey was great to baby us all week long. Unfortunately, the congestion was too much for my little head to handle and my eardrum ruptured in the middle of the night a couple nights ago. That was fun! Now I can't hear that well and blood keeps dripping out of my ear. Sorry for the gruesome details! I also dropped my phone in the tub this week and few other monumental challenges also occurred. So, I guess Heavenly Father thought we were getting too complacent and wanted to test us a little bit, hopefully we passed. We are all on the mend and will hopefully be skipping around tomorrow!
It's funny how challenges seem to come in groups. When it rains, it pours, and although I love rain, I wouldn't mind a break. We are so blessed that Gracie and Mike didn't catch the flu and we hope things stay that way.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the update even though it was a little whiny. It's good to remember the bad times so we can realize how good we've got it the majority of the time... right!
More updates on little Gracie to come...
