Birthday and Other Fun

Spring has sprung which means we got to clean windows and play on the roof. Gordy is about to sneeze. It's one of his most predictable features.

For the all-day-Princess-Party we had a beauty shop and painted toenails and finger nails. Those are Gracer's cousins who came for the fun.

The favorite meal was again Hot Dogs. This time complimented by Blue-Box Macaroni and Cheese.

Here is the Castle Cake. It looks a lot better farther away like this. The main thing is -- Grace liked it. Let's hope her requests get a little simpler in years to come.

This is just a photo of Happy Gordy.

Family Photo

Our family photo from December. Maybe there will be more pictures to come. We'll see.

Sorry for my bogging absence. But Life sometimes happens.

Advent or Bust

Over the weekend I taught Grace this song in order to be adequately prepared for THE Advent celebrations. While we were decorating our tree she kept singing and singing and singing...

The first words out of Grace's mouth each morning are, "Where's Gordy?" As you can see Gordon is finally getting a little more accostomed to the showering of affection.

Grace also likes to take photos of Gordy. This is one of her best. Mar, I think you may have competition soon.

At the Halloween cake walk Grace won this entire chocolate cake. Tuesday after Halloween I realized I hadn't heard any noise from Grace for quite a while. When I found her, all the icing from her cake was mysteriously missing.

At night Collin and Gordy generally have some male bonding time. Reading is one of their favorite passtimes.

Grace's Very Own Song

Grace has begun creating her own songs these days. I wish you could hear all of this, but as you can tell Gordon wasn't enjoying the activity. At any rate, the part of the song you can hear is ". . .build a castle, my angel tells to me."

Gordon's Trick

Gordon has a new trick. It's pretty amazing. Up until now his only trick has been to spit up over every square inch of his clothes. Actually, don't expect too much from this video, I just wanted the relatives to see that Gordy is finally growing up a bit. If three months old can be considered "grown up".

Happy Halloween

Little Gordito was a darling pumpkin.

Gracita was a Pink Princess.

And Grace talked me into wearing her bunny ears to the Halloween Party.

It snowed like crazy the day before Halloween. Here's Gordy taking a nap in his snow suit...

While Grace made snow angels in her snow suit. (Luckily it's all but melted now, it's too soon for winter)
