What to Gift for Mother’s Day 2023
Can you believe it's already time to talk Mother's Day? This year is flying by! Wasn't it just Easter?! I have always loved Mother's Day.

Grace is ONE!
One year ago tonight, at 9:40 PM, Grace came into the world after a sixteen hour labor. From that moment, our world would never be the same. In the best way possible. Grace is still a peanut, weighing in at just over 20 pounds -- up from 6 pounds 13 ounces at birth! She wears size 4 diapers and 12 month clothing. Grace sleeps from 6:30 to 6:30 every night, and naps at 9 and 1.She says "hi Dad" and "all done" now. She can sign for more and all done as well. She also says boo, waves hi, Mama, ...
