Girls gone wild!

Okay, so the Washington coast in March is no place to lift one's shirt. Grace and I visited Grandma at the beach house, and introduced her to the ocean for the first time. When we got out of the car she held my hand for about three seconds, then let go and headed DIRECTLY towards the water. We got wet, we got sandy and we had a blast!

Little bug

Honestly, I don't know how she got so cute.

How much for the kid?

The Stinsons (John and Vicky) visited for the first time since we moved into our new house. They are two of our favorite people in the world, but Grace couldn't stand them, as you can see. Seriously, they charmed the crap out of each other.

Lovin' the camera

At some point, she got tired of me dressing her up in outfits just to take pictures. That's probably best, since we don't want her to get a big head. (We did when she was born, actually, because her head was so small it was off the charts. It's average now.)

Hello there, 2007!

John and I paid an obscene amount of money for a babysitter so we could go out on New Year's Eve for the first time since we stopped hosting the parties and started wishing each other a weak "Happy New Year" as we fell into bed at 9:00. It was worth EVERY PENNY.


I'm loving Julie, Grace's godmother, for getting us invited to this fun party. I'm just a little bitter that she won't be getting up at six the next morning.


John has a go at the Wii. Yup, his eyes were really that glassy.
