Grace's first sled ride! She enjoyed it and I don't think that she wanted to stop. Only problem was she couldn't put her arms down in her snow suit :)

Todd's uncle passed away unexpectedly this past Friday. He had cancer, but his death was not expected this soon. I babysat Grace until Tuesday when we went to the calling hours in Cochocton and did the baby swap. She missed her mommy but was not lacking for love and attention at Grandma's house! Aunt Carli watched her on Monday night when Ted and I both had meetings.

Of course she did things for the first time when mommy wasn't around. Guess she just wanted to show off! You forget how much time and energy that babies take...I was very tired last night.

Grace has had many ear infections that antibiotics are not fixing...so she is getting tubes in her ears on February 1. I'm going down to "help"...it's a good excuse to be with her again...

Looking forward to this weekend when my brother will meet the moving van...2 doors down from us! I have never lived close to him as they have been in CT for 35 years and were in Delaware before that. Will be nice to have him and Sally close by.

I know that not everyone gets to stay home during a snow storm, but I could really use a snow day!

Happy New Year!!

2011~~

Had a great Christmas with all 3 of the girls home and now a grandbaby. Doesn't get any better than that this side of heaven. I can't see how heaven can even be better, but guess we'll figure that one out some day. It is hard for our human brain and emotion to imagine what heaven will be like.

was so fun with Grace, even though she didn't really know what was going on. She was just her usual happy self...even though she is battling ear infections. This morning Tara had to take her in again...hse has never been fussy, the only clue that Tara has is that she doesn't eat/drink like normal. Welllll...this week she ran a fever and is really fussy. She was put on another antibiotic on Wednesday, and this morning was given injections...I feel so bad! I remember those helpless feelings that you had when your kids were sick. Pray that she gets over these infections once and for all!

We had a nice New Year's...missed my college friends, but his year just wasn't meant to be for us to get together. So...Carli and Jeremy and Carli's friend, Rachel, came over for the weekend. We ate lots of good food and were babysitting Grace as Tara worked the entire weekend. Grace had lots of attention and we had a great time. Kelsie went back to GCC already on Sunday. Miss her when she's not here.

It's a good thing that we don't know the future. We have lots of changes coming this year at church...and I'm sure with life in general. Here's to 2011!!
