Well baby boy, you are already 9 days old!  What a first week you had!  We had a tough first four days, and we were so excited to bring you home on Tuesday.  I was so proud of your daddy.  He went in there on Tuesday morning with his fists up ready to fight for you, and boy did he bring it to those doctors.  We weren't going to take no for an ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas everybody!  I hope everyone had a wonderful day.  We had a nice time at home with Grace this morning, very relaxed and quiet.  We spent the afternoon with my family at my brother Rob's house.  It was a nice day.

Hey guys!

Chris is making a slide show for Grace's first birthday... we have 2 songs for it, but need a third.  Any ideas???  So far we've used "Gracie" by Ben Folds, and song by Sara Groves.

HELP!  (Oh... and her birthday party is tomorrow, so I need help quick!)
