Sweet Tooth

Gracie made cookies for the 1st time with Nana Shirley. She loved to stir in the flour & put her fingers in the batter. But the REAL FUN began when it was time to add the chocolate chips. Gracie poured them into the batter & picked them out one by one to eat them...yummy!

Future Marathon Runner

Gracie may take after mommy & her love for running :) Despite putting them on the wrong feet, she walked ALL OVER the house in them for about 45 minutes. And she didn't want to take them off either!?!?

4 More Weeks...


...until Baby Rothleutner arrives!!! And we are ready as "The Girls" room was under construction last week. Kris's parents visited to help us get everything in order & to have some fun with Gracie too. Nana Marci painted bright pink polka dots on the wall (Gracie loves them) & Papa Will put the baby's crib together with a little help from Gracie. Gracie is getting ready for a new roommate & likes having another crib in the room as now her babies have somewhere to sleep :)
