We Are Alive

Hello all. Sorry for the long period between posting, but of course having a baby and a 8 year old can take up alot of your time. We are all doing great and preparing for Gracie's first Christmas. She is loving the Christmas tree, Christmas cards and all the other decorations she can reach. She has no idea what "NO" means. She just turns around looks at you and carries on doing what she is not supposed to be doing. I just hope consistency will work. Logan still continues to help with Gracie. He will entertain her while we are out of the room for a small amount of time, if we stay away too long he lets us know by yelling for us to come back. He is now on Christmas break so I am sure he will have his fair share of Gracie before he returns to school Jan 3, 2008. We have no big plans during the break so I hope Logan does not get too bored and drive me crazy. Here are some more adventures and accomplishments Gracie has done over the past month and a half.
