Just got back from a wonderful trip to Baltimore. We toured Baltimore, the Inner Harbor and Annapolis we also had a great time visiting family with a family reunion on Saturday. Many of my grandmother's siblings live in the Baltimore area.




Here is a picture of my grandma's sisters and brother. There were 10 of them all together.


Grace had a great time playing with all of the cousins. We struggled to get good pictures.


Grace is now starting to recognize the letter O. She still loves the letter M but now loves to find the letter O. We are still trying to teach her the difference between Q and O. She also learned how to say Grandma this weekend. Grace loves all of the summer fruits and veggies. I don't know what we will eat once the season of blueberries, strawberries and tomatoes are done.
Parents Day Out starts next week. Grace is really going to have a tough time with it. Yesterday we had a mom's club function and she wouldn't leave my side. So we will see how Parents Day Out works for her. The program runs from 9am until 2:30pm. We will both have separation anxiety next week.

Hope everyone has had a great summer. It is hard to believe that school starts next week.

We had a wonderful time at the beach! We went to Florida with Joe and Andrea, Jennifer and the boys, and Jim, Davina and the kids. We spent almost a week in Rosemary Beach. Grace really had a good time with Sara and David. They played and played. Grace learned how to growl like a dinosaur from David and danced around the house with Sara.







We celebrated our "Gotcha Day" with Grace last Tuesday. We went out to eat and John brought Grace and I both a bouquet of flowers!



Grace is really starting to talk now. Her favorite letter in "M". Grace also loves to tell you what the animals say. She went to the doctor last week and she now weighs almost 21 pounds.

Happy First Anniversary!
We want to thank everyone for everything they have done over the last year. The love, support and prayers have been very important to us. We are very proud of our princess. She is growing with leaps and bounds and talks more and more everyday. Her kisses are to die for and we are patiently waiting for her to say "I love you". Life is good and oh....what a wonderful year!
Stay tuned for more of our memories.
Love,
John, Krista and especially Grace
