Rainy Day Activity

Grace and I were bored on one of our recent rainy days, and instead of watching T.V all day I decided we would pudding paint. Did anyone else do this growing up? We did, although I think my mom usually made a point to do it on a sunny day so that we could go hose off afterwards. Anyways I thought we needed a project and I didn't have any Gracie appropriate art supplies so we painted with pudding and ate it too!

The hollywood hump!

Tomorrow Josh and I will reach the hollywood hump in our marriage. That is what I've decided to call our 3rd wedding anniversary because that's as far as most young married couples in hollywood last these days, especially those who are on T.V! Anyways I was looking at our wedding pictures and started to tear up a little bit! So much has happened since we got married not so long ago, and I just thought I'd take a minute to reflect and share some of our informal pictures with everyone! I love you honey!

Full of Grace

There are so many special and important milestones in your child's life, holding her head up, sitting up, walking, saying momma and dada, and so on and so forth. Grace has had several fun little milestones lately, saying her ABC's, counting, singing songs, calling out hi mommy hi mommy and other short sentences. Watching her accomplish all these things bring me such pride and joy, I get so excited over things I never expected to be such a big deal. With that being said, yesterday Grace hit a milestone that has to be one of my favorites so far, and one that I had never thought about before. I had a headache and decided to lay down on the couch to watch T.V for a little while. Josh left Grace with me for a few moments while he got ready to take her out and wash the car together.. Well I was lying on the couch and grace grabs two big blankets and walks over and covers me up! Ok maybe this is a silly thing to write a whole blog about but it completely warmed my heart, and it made me realize that she reached a new milestone, compassion! We always talk about when our kids walk and talk and learn to use the potty, but I never thought about when she would learn to care, to love selflessly and to be gracious and compassionate. Anyways, just thought i'd share, being a mom is so much fun!
