I'm a slacker
So I have been slacking BIG TIME on taking pictures. For a while there I was doing really well remembering to take my camera wherever I went. Not anymore. Maybe it's cause it's not small enough to fit in my purse. It has it's own bag and who wants to carry an extra bag with you wherever you go. Not me. But I will try to get more pictures. In the mean time, I'll tell you about a Gracie moment that brought tears to me eyes.
Last night Dave was playing with the girls. He was growling, pretend bitting, tickeling and so on. But after a while, I guess either Grace was tired of playing and trying to get Dave to stop, or she just really wanted to hug him. She reached her arms around his shoulders, laid her head down and started rubbing and patting his back. The first time she did it Dave didn't realize what she was trying to do so he kept trying to play with her. Once Dave realized what she was doing he sat down and held her while she hugged him and pat his back. Grace is the most affectionate 2 year old you will ever meet. She will come up to you out of the blue and give you a hug and/or a kiss. Just because she feels like it. Sadie on the other hand, I can't even get her to hug and kiss ME half the time let alone anyone else. But I think she's getting better.

Gwink (drink)
Zappa (pizza)
Biader (diaper)
Sadie calls Gracie "Sissie"
Titty Tat (kitty cat)
REABY! (ready)
Poot (Sadie's word for poop)

Polar Express
No it's not Christmas but I found these pictures and thought I'd share.
This was our second year going up to Williams, AZ for the Polar Express. It's a family event including just about everyone from Dave's family. Aunts and cousins even flew in to join the fun.
(Holy crap my hair was long!) 
Dave and I were late for Family pictures so this is a quick shot before heading to the train.
Dinner. I can't believe how short her hair is in this picture. Her hair is getting so long.
Grace saying she's all done.
While not a flattering picture of me, Sadie slept the whole train ride and Grace would NOT sit still. She wanted to explore the train and see everything she possibly could. It's so funny how they are born a certain way and stay that way. Grace ALWAYS was the last one to fall asleep. She would just lay there and observe all that she could. Dave's family likes to stay up late. Even Gram. She stays up past midnight. I always thought it was a learned behavior and they could change it if the wanted to. But along came Grace. I started a routine at 8 weeks of age and by 3 months Sadie was asleep by 8:30 every night. Not Grace though. Again, always the last to fall asleep. Her wiring isn't quite right when it comes to sleep. We always joke that she sleeps like a Verrone but eats like a Rucker. It's so true.
