We had a wonderful Father's Day! John got a wagon and everyone helped to put it together. Grace loved to play with Grandpa's tools. We have already taken the wagon to Concert in the Park. It came in handy! It carried everything plus Grace!

Thank You Grammy Yeric (Ohio) for buying me my bike carrier. I love to take bike rides with Daddy!

This past weekend we went to the Mary Kendall Adoption picnic. Grace had a great time running around with the other kids. This is a picture of Grace on the way home from the picnic. She fell asleep on the bear. It was so sweet. She doesn't have an attachment to any stuffed animals or blankets so it was cute to see her snuggling a bear.
We are finally on a great schedule with Grace. She falls asleep at 8:30pm and wakes up around 8:30am and takes about a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day. I know as soon as I say we are on a schedule she will be changing it.
Grace is really talking up a storm and she loves to have the same books read over and over and over.....Right now her favorite books are are A to Z by Sandra Boynton, ABC God Loves Me and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I read these books at least 10 times a day.
Well hope everyone is enjoying this heat! It is hot, hot, hot!!

This weekend we took Grace to the zoo. We really had a good time! We took a ride on the Carousel. Grace loved it. She was waving to the people as we went around. She was also dancing in the seat. She really loves to listen to music and "dance". The best part was at the aquarium. Grace was able to get really close to the glass. At one point she was looking into one of the tanks and a turtle started swimming towards her. When it got right up to the glass, Grace turned and ran towards us. She thought the turtle was going to get her. It was so funny!

She is talking more and more everyday. This week her favorite thing to say is "GO GO Grace" and "Bearrrrr". She is really changing a lot lately. Seems like everyday I get home from work she is a little bigger and talks a little more. It is amazing.

Oh yeah. Have you ever seen the commercial on TV for flea medicine with the puppies singing? Grace absolutely loves that commercial. She dances and dances and says dog over and over. Krista and I laugh every time we see her doing her little dance with the puppies.

Grace loves asparagus....but only the tops. She will eat them one by one and once the tops are off she moves on.

We have had a great start to our summer already! The weather has been beautiful so we have played outside every day. Today we started swimming classes and on Tuesday we start music class. Grace still loves to read. She has started to bring us the books that she wants us to read to her.
