Grace is a Happy Child

We were headed to a memorial service for our neighbor Walter Cumbo and Scott took this picture of Grace and me. Some of you met Walter and know what a wonderful person he was and how he adored Grace. Both he and his wife Georgia loved to see her and marvelled at how we had "won the lottery" when it came to gorgeous children. We will all miss Walter and I know Grace will miss him as well. Many people at the memorial knew of Grace because of Walter's bosting of her. He was the kind of man you'd want your children to have as a Grandpa. Just the sweetest.

Grace and food

Grace is having challenges with eating right now. Believe it or not she is being a very picky girl. Last night was the first night she ate really well in about - a week. She has been very selective about what she eats- even if she says she wants it- she changes her mind once she gets it- so frustrating. Thanks to Denise Sullivan and her suggestions of edemame and grilled veggies, Grace is eating some of those.

We tried chopsticks Friday with her and she thought it was fun.

Also in an unrelated subject- she likes to collect rocks. Just like

I did when I was younger- funny huh?

Summer is Here

Summer came a week early here in the NW. We had some very warm weather and it was unbearable.Grace took it all in stide- being from Chongqing she had the heat an humidity early in life. She's had a cold for the last week or so. She had it, got rid of it and got it again a week later. It was the first time she has everhad a temp and it made me nervous. But she is on the mend and is as fiesty as ever.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July- stay safe and us lots of sunscreen!
