Today was Grace's second birthday. It's been a day i've looked forward to since she's older and able to do more and more things. BUT it's still very hard to believe that two whole years has gone by since the day she entered our lives. Like all parents out there i've wanted her to stay young but i'm very excited about the changes this year will bring for her and us. She'll be learning to talk more, play on her own a little at the playgrounds, do more with her older cousins, and just understand more.
We stayed home and just had a special family celebration of her birthday today. We ended the night with a cookie cake and she LOVED it! Daddy gave her a decent sized piece and while she was eating his mom called. He talked to her for a while and I sat nearby enjoying my piece of cookie. Next thing we knew Grace was doing all she could to ask for more more more! She saw daddy's plate nearby and wanted to have his! Turns out, she ate all of the icing, set the cookie aside and wanted the big pile of icing on daddys piece. haha We gave her more and had to cut her off so she wouldn't get sick. Luckily she's not the type of kid to eat a lot of sugar and bounce of the walls because then it was bedtime! Of course she got to talk to her Florida and Ohio relatives first.
We're having her party this weekend at our house. There's still a lot to do and I probably won't be sleeping much these next couple of nights. I'm still fighting a sinus infection that has had me on the couch just about 24/7 lately. I'll do anything to make...

I mentioned in my first posting that i'm still trying to figure out what i'm doing here. I could easily just say hey i'm running a mommy blog and stick with that. But... I think I want it to be a little more open as far as who my 'target audience' will be. We'll see how that goes.
I've been extra busy lately. I started taking online classes through Liberty University back in March. I'm in week three which has some time consuming assignments to focus on.
Speaking of time consuming... my daughter's turning TWO on Thursday(!!) and we're having her party here at our house on Saturday. It's not a big open space so on top of cleaning up, planning the details of the party and contacting those who haven't said if they're coming/bringing kids... we have to find a way to fit 20+ people in our home. Hopefully it'll be a nice day so we can atleast have some outside time during the party.
