Snow Day!

Leave it to Texans to brag about our first snow day. This is officially Anna Grace's first one. Though I will say she really isn't partaking in the chilly outside events today.

Linzi's pictures

Here are a few more with the family from Thanksgiving...

Old pro

We came home yesterday and now Anna Grace is an old pro at flying...

Salmon run

About the only tourist thing that we did was go to see the salmon run. It really was spectacular, some of the salmon were 3 feet long. We even got to see a few of them spawn.

Thanksgiving Day

We were fortunate to be together with family for the holiday. Linzi uncorked the champagne, and we even had a proper meal at the table. The picture also shows a little of the construction in the kitchen behind. Troy and Linz just moved and the kitchen isn't quite done yet. Kudos to my mom for putting together a fabulous dinner regardless.

Anna Grace even dressed for the occasion!

Cousin Fiona

We were so excited to see Troy, Linz, Thom and of course cousin Fi. (hopefully Linz will send some with the three kids) The girls were born 4 days apart and they are going to be trouble growing up. The first picture shows them holding hands. At least they were before we all ran to get cameras to capture the moment.

This is grandma and Linzi with the girls.

Grandpa even squeezed in a couple of cuddles with all of the commotion.

First plane ride!

We all boarded a plane for Seattle last Saturday. There lies the reason for the long time without any recent posts, but I should make up for it today. Check out Anna Grace on the first trip. The nice lady at American gave her a seat of her own.

Uh-oh!

Anna Grace is already trying to get her bottom in the air to scoot across the floor. What a strong little girl we have.

Whoop!

Anna Grace is dreaming of being a yell leader, either that or celebrating class of '28. Whoop!

4 month checkup

Anna Grace went to the doctor yesterday. 4 shots and she was a trooper. Weight: 11lbs 15oz(15th percentile), height: 24.75" (75th percentile), head: 16.25" (60th percentile). Here is a picture of her in her crib today. All of a sudden I heard the mobile turn off and you can see her little toes are right next to the controls for it. She looked pretty proud of herself.

Quiet Monday

Anna Grace is slowly recovering from all the company we have had. She even cuddled with grandma this morning.


I do love the time that I get AG all to myself too though. When I know that all the smiles, giggles and love are just for me. (A little selfish I know!)

Anna Grace's Baptism

What a joyous day! We had Anna Grace baptized at our church this morning. We are thankful that Jason and Kyla agreed to be her godparents. They are such devoted and faithful people that we know she will be blessed and guided by their prayers. Matt and I are thankful that they could share this day with us and our families. We truly feel that God has enriched our lives through their friendship and look forward to what is ahead.



We were also joined by a group of relatives. Our little girl inspired quite a few people to travel to Fort Worth! From the left (in relation to Anna Grace) Great uncle Paul, Grandpa Tom, Gigi (Grandma Judy), Us, Grandma, Grandpa, Greant Aunt Janice, and second cousin Ben. Liz and Miss Debbie are taking the pictures. Thank you to everyone that wanted to be here for us today. We truly loved having everyone here to share in our special day.

Gigi's playtime

Gigi managed to squeeze in a little bit of one on one time with Anna Grace, which is a little surprising from the number of relatives that were here this weekend.
