Too Fast!

Sunday we were able to worship at Immanuel, attend Bible class, and see many of the people that we got to know so well throughout our year in Seymour. After church we grabbed a quick lunch at our favorite Seymour Chinese place. Yum!

Grace with her buddy Olivia...

While we packed our things and loaded our car, Grace took an afternoon snooze with Bethany!

We had a great weekend, although it went by way too fast! And of course there were many people that we did not get to see. Hopefully next time we visit, we can stay a bit longer...

Saturday in Seymour

One of the highlights from this weekend was our time with the church staff. We met up with many of the church staff members for lunch. It was great to see everyone and catch up! Here are a few pictures from our time together...

Ron, Joan, Bethany, and Beckie...

We arrived safely in Seymour late Friday night. It was a great start to a fantastic weekend!

On the Move

Grace loves to crawl around before bathtime...

Without a diaper...Yikes! :)

Larson Update

Grace cut her top two teeth! The amount of teeth appearing in her mouth has now doubled from two to four! :)

We had to take Grace into the doctor on Monday. She had a horrible bark-like cough that was keeping her up a night. "Dr. Mom"- thought it sounded a lot like croup! Sure enough, Grace's doctor said it was croup! So dad stayed home with Grace on Monday, and mom stayed home on Tuesday. Grace has still been very happy despite getting two new teeth AND having croup!

We're very much looking forward to our upcoming weekend in Seymour! We know it's going to be a fast weekend. We won't get in until late Friday and will head out after church on Sunday. We're looking forward to seeing our friends in Seymour!

** Oh- and LESS than a month until CALL DAY!!!!!! **

So Big!

Grace got her first pair of big girl shoes! :)Now she's ready to cruise :)

Day Full of Basketball

Some of our seminary friends came over for a day of basketball. We watched a lot on t.v. and even took a break and went to the basketball court near our place! Here are a few pictures from our day...

Playground Time!

Ted and Carter having fun!

Grace Update

Grace is doing great! She has been using the "real" crawl as her main way to get around during these past few weeks. Grace is pulling herself up on everything she can to stand and even stood all by herself for the first time the other day. (Not for long...but it counts:)!

Sleeping Beauty

First St. Patty's Day

Here's Grace sporting her green! :)

Beautiful Day in the Lou!

Here's Grace sporting the brand new sweater that "Gramma" Larson made! :)

Thanks!
We love it!

We had a good weekend here in the Lou! We're loving the springlike weather!! We have have an uneventful few weeks ahead of us...until the last weekend in March when we're looking forward to a weekend out to Seymour! Two weekends after that is Easter weekend and we're planning a trip out to Minnesota. Then Heather has a week long spring break and the following week is the long awaited CALL DAY! We can't wait!

Thanks Kari!

Grace loves her new blankie from Aunt Kari!

Daddy the Hair Stylist

This is what happens when Daddy does Grace's hair...

Nine Month Stats!

Grace had her nine month doctor's appointment today. The doc. had all great things to say about Grace. :) Here are the latest stats:

Height: 28 5/8" (75th-90 percentile)

Weight: 17 lb. 13 oz. (25-50th percentile)

No shots this time...so it was a nice appointment! :)

Final Quarter!

Dave's final quarter of his seminary career has begun! :) He has a light load this quarter and he's looking foward to the classes he's taking. Although, he's looking more foward to being done! :) Grace is doing great and has been "talking" for quite some time. Saying "Mama" and "Dada" makes us both feel good...although she calls about everything that! :) She even says a word that sounds like "Daddy"! Probably a fluke...but it's still cool. :)

GracePlace!

We had a very busy day todayat our GracePlace Retreat! We started at 7:15 AM and went all the way until 9:30 PM! It was a packed schedule! Grace has been such a trooper and everyone has been so impressed by how happy and sweet she is! :)

We had a one and a half hour break today...and these are some pictures of what we did during our time together!

Grace and Mommy...

Riding the pony...This is fun!

Driving a truck...Grace's first time on a "real" swing! :)

She LOVED it! :)

Riding on Daddy's shoulders...
