Twelve Weeks!

Our little Gracie is twelve weeks old! :)

Such a lovely facial expression! :)

Drooly!

Check out Grace's new stache!

Back in Saint Louis

We made it safely back! It was a great, but very fast trip up to Minnesota and back again! Grace continued to do great in the car! (YAY!) We will post pictures soon from the wedding and the rest of our trip up to Minnesota!

Minnesota!

We made it safely to Minnesota and Grace was once again a wonderful little traveler! We made it the entire way and didn't even have to stop once! Friday evening we spent some time with family before and after the wedding rehearsal. Here are a few snapshots of Grace and some of her cousins!

Lookin Cute! :)

Looks like she's got some growing to do!

Our stop in Iowa

Well, Thursday evening we finally got on the road around 7:30 p.m. That meant a late night to Davenport (we got there shortly after midnight!) Grace was wonderful and slept the entire way so we made it there in great time! We visited with Kari and Roby for awhile and then caught some zzzz's so we could be well rested for our trip to Minnesota!

Friday morning we were able to visit with Kari, Noelle, and Kyle for a few hours before heading out. We never did make it to Trinity...but that's okay...maybe next time!!

Cousin Kyle!

Minnesota here we come!

We're soon on our way to Minnesota! Heather is in a wedding this weekend and Dave will be giving the message at the wedding. We're heading out tomorrow evening after Heather is finished up with everything at school. We'll be stopping in Davenport, Iowa to stay with Heather's sister and her family. Then, Friday morning we'll hopefully make a pit stop at Trinity, the school that Heather taught at during her first two years of teaching. Her former 2nd graders are already 6th and 7th graders! Wow, how time flys! She's anxious to see them again! Then, Friday we'll head to Minnesota. Grace will get to meet her Grandma and Grandpa Greseth for the FIRST time! She'll also get to meet many of her aunts, uncles, and cousins for the first time as well! The wedding is Saturday and then Sunday will be a long day of traveling so Heather will make it back for school bright and early Monday morning!

Daddy's Little Bronco's Buddy!

Grace next to her new Bronco's pillow :)

A gift especially for Gracie...from daddy!

Dave's determined to make a little Bronco's fan out of Grace!

Yay for Weekends!

Well, Heather survived her first few days of school and rediscovered just how much energy first graders have! This weekend we're looking forward to just staying home, relaxing, and hanging out with our sweet little Grace! :)

Mrs. Larson's First Grade

This is the place that Heather's been "living" this past week. Her new classroom! She had Open House earlier this afternoon and met her new group of kiddos. (They're Adorable!!) The new school year begins Thursday with a half day...and a full day on Friday.

Too bad she didn't take any before pictures...the room has come a long way in the past week!!

Testing out the new Bumbo!

See ya later!

Now that most of us have moved back...we had a get together to say "See ya later" to seminary friends Duane and Elizabeth who are heading to Germany for the year. It was a fun afternoon with socializing and food! =)

Grace with one of her new friends- Ellie :)
Our small group (minus Daisy, Andrew, and Miriam)

We look forward to seeing lots of pictures Duane and Elizabeth!! :)

She's a Drooler!!

Wow! It's already Friday...where did the week go!?! Heather finished her first week of meetings and was busy getting her classroom ready for the start of a new school year. She enjoys her new staff and besides being exhausted...is doing great! Dave had a great time spending lots of time with Grace this week. She's such a great baby! :)

Just check out the droolage from her little chin :)

Busy...Busy...Busy!

This week marked the beginning of Dave's month long adventure as a stay-at-home dad and Heather's first week back in the working world! Heather's sister Kari and her two children Noelle and Kyle came for a quick visit Monday and they left early this afternoon. Heather has been busy preparing for the start of school NEXT week and Kari was an enormous help for Heather in getting her classroom to look like a classroom once again!

An attempt to get a good picture...
Kari's expression says it all...:)

Grace standing tall!


All snuggly after bathtime!
