And Baby Makes Three

"A family is a little world created by love."

And how much I do love my little family!

First Trip to the Zoo

My dad couldn't help himself on my birthday this year...he bought me an annual zoo pass. So yesterday I used it for the first time. Grace, Grandpa and I had a blast at the zoo!

Grace looking at the sea lions swimming by. She did really well following the animals and watching them! I wasn't sure how a 4mo old would be interested, but she loved it!

Showing off the new hat and snow leopard she "had to have," said Grandpa.

Exhausted! Her favorites were the sea lions, puffin, camel and sharks. I can't wait to go back!

Steve the Knife Maker

Steve has been busy with his knife making! I am really impressed with the turnout of the knives, the designs he thinks up and the whole process.

They are for sale :)

He is making new ones all the time.

All knives come with custom made sheaths.

Here are just a few of the different types so far.

Knife below not available. In hands of a young birthday boy!

 The knife below is SOLD



Happy 4th of July!

Grace's first holiday that she didnt sleep right through. She was ultra patriotic in the adorable outfit she got from my family!

This makes me smile. She is usually such a photo-ham but she was just done here. It is a rare occurance for her to throw a major fit, so I had to document it. :)

* At her 4 mo checkup she was 12lbs.6oz and 25 3/4"!!
Thats the 91 percentile for babies in her age group for height! I think we have a basketball star in the making! :) Didnt take after momma at all!

4 Months

Our baby girl is already 4 months old!

She babbles and talks all the time.

She is reaching out and grabbing everything.

Momma is predicting that she will be left handed. She seems to favor that hand more.

We go this week to her 4 month check up. Im guessing about 25.5 in and 13 lbs. We'll see !!
