They weren't lying...

Everyone warned me to enjoy every moment because she'll grow up so fast...they weren't lying! Gracie is 3 months and 3 weeks old. I just can't believe how fast she's growing up.

At her last appointment (2 months) Gracie was in the 75th percentile in height and 50th percentile in weight. She's such a big girl! I laugh when I put 3 month sized pants on her because they look like they should be shorts.

Gracie discovered her fingers a while back and can now control to put pointer in her mouth. I enjoy watching how hard she works at attempting to putting her thumb in her mouth. She finally gives up after 15 frustrating minutes of trying. I'm certain she'll learn to get her thumb in her mouth pretty soon!

Gracie Lauren

Jesse and I are proud to announce the birth of our daughter Gracie Lauren!

After 14 hours of labor, Gracie was born on July 21st at 8:08 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz and was 22 inches long!

She's perfectly healthy...that's all we could ever ask for.

2009 has arrived and God is continuing to bless our marriage! Jesse and I shared with our family and friends over Christmas that we're expecting our first child July 16, 2009! We are looking forward to February 20th as we will know the sex of our child.

We feel completely blessed that through this tough economic time for our nation God has given both of us jobs that we love and are secure. Jesse is staying busy being a middle school P.E. teacher. He is currently coaching middle school boys basketball and is preparing for his 2nd year as the Tenino's high school boys baseball coach. We're praying for another fantastic season (Jesse took the Beavers to one game away from the State Championship Game). I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary at Dynamic Collectors, Inc. --1 year later at DCI and I still wake up loving my job!

May God continue to shower us with his blessings!!
