Happy Birthday Gracie!!!

It's hard to believe that my baby girl, Gracie, is 8 years old today.  It seems like only yesterday we were speeding to the hospital to be present at her birth.  I was in the delivery room with Grace's birth mother, and I'll always be thankful that I was able to watch my baby come into this world.  Don't get me wrong, I NEVER want to witness anyone giving birth ever again--- but it was an incredible experience watching my own baby being born.  ;-)

 Here are some early pics of my little muffin.....

Gracie loves here "puppy", Rowan.

Sophie's first gymnastics meet

----is this Sunday.  She has had several practice meets, but this one is the real deal.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll have lots of fun and do well.

On another note, I just noticed that I haven't updated my blog since December.  Gasp.  You know how long my New Years Resolution lasted?  One stinkin' week.  I suck.
