Since we were still recovering from a double ear infection, I haven't taken Grace to the playground alot lately so yesterday, to get her some fresh air, we played in the backyard. We filled her water table with different kinds of beans and she got to work mixing and brewing...she said she was making "coffee"...she got that from Brady who whipped up some fantastic batches of coffee in the tub while we were visiting. She played with the dog next door for a bit, held Dora in the swing and kept laughing and saying "Sorry, Dora" when she was swinging so high she bonked Dora's head on the patio roof. We woke up to temperatures in the high 20's this morning (no sympathy from those further East, I know) so I'm not sure if we'll make it oustide today! Off to Vegas this weekend to visit with our friends Emily and Christian and their baby Ellie and we're taking along our sponsoree and friend, Nancy, or "Nancy Pants" as Grace calls her...actually she just calls her Pants. Ok, is it obvious I'm procrastinating on going to the gym and cleaning house this morning?!
