Sunday - Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Gracie must have known it was the day of love. She was especially smiley and had lots of really great hugs and kisses for mom and dad. She was on her game all day today. She talked and sang, she teased mom and dad, and had a great day.

We were home most of the day as a family and it was just a great day to enjoy each other's company. Gracie took us for lots of "walks" around the house. Her new thing is to gather items on the way and hand them to mom or dad (mostly dad) to carry during the walk. Should either of us even think of putting one of these items down we are in big trouble. Jeff's hands were full this afternoon, we counted 16 items...stuffed animals, plastic food, little people, you name it.

We listen to a Brad Paisley song quite a bit that in the lyrics says "fire up my mac" and then it makes the sound of a Macintosh computer starting up. Jeff always puts his finger to Gracie's belly button area when this is sung. Gracie now covers up her tummy and smiles big time whenever those lyrics are about to come up. Tonight she was pressing her baby's belly button and calling it a "mac".

Tonight we were counting and when I said "one", Gracie held up one finger. Then I said "two" and another finger went up. We didn't add anymore fingers when we hit three, but I was proud with one and two.

Our Valentine's Day supper was one of the most wonderful and happy meals we have had for a really long time. Gracie was a joy throughout and stayed at the table with us until we finished the very last morsel. It didn't hurt that she got to share a piece of Razzleberry pie with mom.

It was a lovely day!

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
