This is what eight months looks like

Disclaimer: This post is entirely self-serving.  It's my own little online scrapbook so I remember what Grace was like at 8 months. 

Congratulations to Eric and me!  With much help from our families, we have successfully kept another human being alive for almost nine months.  This is no small task.  (Trust me. More on this another time).


What should get top billing for month 8?  Crawling!  Ladies and gentlemen, we have mobility.  And it is a game changer. I can put her in the middle of our living room surrounded by toys and she can get whatever she wants by herself, even find me in the kitchen if she so chooses.  Awesome.  She can also escape the living room and find her way to any number of cords, dog bones, outlets, and endless amounts of seemingly innocent objects which now strike terror into the heart of this mother.  Scary.

What do you like better, Christmas or wedding season?

I need a new hairdo.  You could land a jet liner on that forehead.

Well hello there!  It's been a long time.  Way longer than I intended.  However, life has been very busy and exciting around here lately!  Wedding season, baby! My sister Alexis got married on July 11th, and the weeks before and after were spent planning, showering, buying, executing (plans not people although sometimes....), primping, oohing and ahhing. 

It all turned out perfectly, as true love does.  I'll share some pictures of our fun throughout this post.  If I can figure out how to do that.

AHA.  Not so hard!  Here are some photos from the bridal shower:
