The batteries in the camera

are dead once again. I have been back to work for a couple of weeks and Dave's work is stressful and he has started another class. I know that isn't an excuse. I need to be a better Mama and get to work on this blog!

Grace has been doing great. She has cut in both her bottom and top set of molars and we are all glad that is over. She is saying mama and papa and some variation of Joe. She is mimicking the faces that Dave makes and it is hilarious. She will make the funny face and then pause to see how we react. When we laugh she is soo pleased with herself. She's a ham, just like her papa. I need to post a video, it's to die for.

I do miss those lazy summer days. Having only a couple of hours a day with her to play breaks my heart. But, that's our life. I do know that the time we spend together during the week is precious and therefore we make it special. I'm kinda hoping she starts to go to bed later so we can play!

Ok, it's almost 10. I'm sure I'll read this tomorrow and edit it. Right now, I"m just rambling.

Oh, and Nana, I will post those great pics from your visit APAP! I promise!

Happy 30th birthday Daddy!!!!!

Today is Dave's 30th birthday!

We are celebrating today as a family but Dave and I went to Jamacia for a "real" celebration at the beginning of the month. Here are some highlights!

Reston Zoo

This weekend we took Grace to the Reston Zoo. She really enjoyed the animals; I'm sure they all looked like big urry Joey dogs to her! We had a blast!

If my satellite tv ever craps out...

I can use my daughter for an antenna.
