You might remember Grace had a bad infection about a month and a half ago. Today she had the two tests the doctor recommended to rule out any genetic reason for the infection. The bad news is that it was a very hard day for Grace. The second test involved a catheter and laying still [...]
Grace and I have spent a lot of time alone together. I guess we can read each other’s moods because we often have the same expression in photos. We went swimming with Daddy yesterday at the pool. It was Grace’s first time. The water was absolutely freezing but she loved it! She started slow and [...]
We went to the Rose Garden the other day. There are a bunch of new pics, so go take a look. It was our first picnic as a family! These are the kinds of things that I really missed doing with Brian while he was gone (in Iraq and in Singapore too for that matter!). [...]

Grace said Dada yesterday. In fact, she said it all day long. I told Brian last night (he was home after she was in bed), and he seemed really touched by that… maybe because she has been saying Mama for months. I have been teasing her that I am sick of hearing about Dada already! [...]

When I first started this in mid-May, I got extremely motivated and averaged [...]
Not only is Brian – I’m sure – totally exhausted but for some reason I am too! He has been going nonstop since he got home. Tonight at his course they did some night-shooting, so it is 10:20 PM, and he still isn’t home. He is burning the candle at both ends.
And now that Grace [...]
I just added a whole bunch of pics so be sure to look at them!
