1st Birthday!

Grace turns 1 tomorrow! Well...in less than four hours to be exact here are some pictures from a little party we had tonight. We went all out and she won't remember how hard Marc and I worked...and Liz! Marc did the fancy little cake for Grace to attack and I made the butterfly cupcakes. It was so much fun! I wish we had a bigger place so we could invite everyone. Happy birthday to Grace!

New Bed

Grace is sleeping in her new bed tonight. This crib box and mattress have been sitting in our bedroom for the last 10 months. We wanted Grace to sleep in her cradle from dad for as long as possible, but since she now pulls herself up we decided it was time to set it up. It looks pretty good and grace seems to love it. She had a lot of fun playing with the garbage can while we set things up. (Notice the gorgeous rocking horse also made by dad for Grace. She just pulled herself up next to it tonight for the first time also.)

Sweet Lily's Funeral

Grace and my cousin Zar's little girl Ava--Lily's older sister. She is so adorable! Grace loved playing with her.

Grace just started really pulling herself up today. Maybe she will walk before she crawls.

Before and After

I painted our entertainment center yesterday. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time...three years actually. I have hated it since the day we got it for free...but it was free so I didn't complain. Unfortunately the only before picture I have of it has me a few months pregnant WITH GRACE in my super dorky outfit. Oh well. I'm happy with the results and I LOVE it with the red and yellow---It matches my quilt too.
