Growing Up Too Fast!

This week our friends Brooke and Tyler had their first child, a little girl named Madelyn.  Holding Madelyn made me remember how tiny Grace was not too long ago.  I have missed that feeling of holding a little nugget and enjoyed my time visiting The Hensons and Madelyn at the hospital but it has made me realize just how quickly Grace is growing up.  Grace will be 4 in just a few months and she reminds us everyday that she is a big girl.  I love that she can take care of herself in many ways, but there are times I wish she needed me more.  Bittersweet!!  Enjoy a few pictures from our adventures over the last week or so.

I have been waiting all winter to dress her in this outfit, but we never got snow!

So tired after school one day this week that she literally fell asleep in my lap before dinner.  She rarely is still long enough for this to happen!

She looks sooo tall in this photo

You can see, sort of, in the photo that she has let us change her earrings again to ladybugs.

Me and Madelyn...such a cutie!!


Pigtails for a birthday party on Saturday


This is blurry but Troy got roped in to sliding with all the kids

I forgot my camera and unfortunately my iPhone doesn't take great action shots!



Grace and Olivia, the birthday girl


The kids loved the cupcakes!


The birthday throne

Grace was excited for Olivia to open her present



Later that night we went out for dinner.  Thank God for phone technology so we can enjoy a nice meal!

Every year we have had Grace paint an egg at Easter time at the local pottery place.  We got a jump start on it a little early this year.
