OK . . . so am I overwhelmed??

I mean one posting a year . . . HA! Well what is new! For starts Gracie is now 2!! YES . . . 2!!!! where did the time go. It seems like just yesterday my water was breaking all the way down the maternity ward hallway! TMI! Now she is the funniest, most amazing, smartest (I might be biased all though my ENT today did tell me how smart she is and he is a doctor!), hard headed little monkey in the world.

She makes me laugh on a daily basis. She also makes me use her full name on a daily basis too! Most of all she has taught me to be appreciative. We all know life is not easy and before her I felt a little broken inside. Family issues can do that . . . but she literally piece by piece has put me back together and I feel stronger then ever. Well besides for the broken nose, knocked out teeth, ruptured ear drum, and broken foot all caused by motherhood!! HA!

The last couple of months have been hard with Jeff currently deployed. He is flying "over there" a lot and very busy. The bright side is I have a lot more time to watch reality TV and other "teenybopper" shows he can't stand! He is still my hero and I am so thankful for him and every other military service member serving our beautiful country!!

So here are some updated photos! The 1st is Jeff getting ready to land on "the boat". The rest are of our princess this month! I will work better to update more. OK who are we kidding? See you in 2011!! HA!
