Grace and her "Ballet Camryn" at picture day for Ballet!

Sleeping Beauty

"Despite having a million things to do, it is very hard to look away from my sleeping baby."

-M. Ovalle

Weeds

Grace loves to pick flowers. These tend to be her favorites to pick. Thankful I have a tiny bud vase to hold special memories. :)

Build Me Up Buttercup!

One day after church we decided to drive around Washington and Tyrrell Counties. The Buttercups are by the "ma-millions" as Grace says. We decided one field was too pretty not to stop and take a few photos.

Too small?

As I was cleaning up one day, Grace hollered for me to come look at her. She had taken one of her newborn layettes that is usually on one of her baby dolls off and tried it on herself. :) Such a silly girl.

Kanki

We took Grace to Kanki a few weeks ago. It wasn't her first experience, but probably the first she'll remember. She wasn't a fan of the fire. After the first sign of it she was ready to leave. Scott and I used to eat here a lot when my apartment was close by but I haven't been in so long. The food was as yummy as ever, I just hope that once Grace gets a bit older she'll love it too!
