32 weeks

Today marks week 32 of pregnancy--that's right about 8 weeks to go!  We had a great doctor's appointment today.  Everything is measuring well, heartbeat is strong, we're right on track!  We're slowly pulling things together.  The crib is up, the changing table is put together, we're working on decorations.  Two weekends ago we did a "sibling tour" of the hospital so Grace could see where she'll meet her little sister.  It's a nice hospital and it was nice for all of us to know what to expect.  Now it's just countdown time!!!

Bunny

As we walked out of a store tonight, Grace stopped and screamed, "Bunny!"  Girl has a good eye!

Back to the Farm!

We headed to the Farm for the first time this year.  After a week of gorgeous days when we got there it started to sleet and was freezing.  We didn't stay long but we did get to see a few of our favorites.  There was a new calf, Olive.  The ducks were out.  And most importantly, Grace got to see Brownie, the pony.  We'll be headed back soon so we can enjoy the Farm on a nicer day.

 Grace was posing for a picture and Olive came over and nudged in her in the back...

 Grace took off running!

"Hi Brownie! We've missed you!"

Easter

We had a fantastic Easter weekend!  Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays with all of the little traditions.  I knew I would be sad about not having family with us so we decided to host an "Easter Extravaganza" with some of our friends and colleagues. It was a great afternoon!

Disney on Ice

The weekend before Easter we headed to Denver for Disney on Ice.  It was a fun day.  We stopped at a hot dog joint for lunch and then went and saw all the Disney characters.  Grace was so surprised when we pulled up to the building and there was a huge billboard of all the princesses.  She loved it!

 

Track Meet

Mark took Grace to a track meet a few weekends ago.  She loved it.  Her big question was, "Where are the cheerleaders?!?"  Mark, a former track team member, replied, "I always wondered the same thing!"
