On Tuesday, Lou, Rocky, and I headed to New York City for the TMS Alumni dinner. Gracie stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. Rocky would have, too, but he's still nursing and we waited too long to try to introduce a bottle... Here's Rocky enjoying himself on the big bed in the hotel room; he's so happy to be out of the car after a 5 hour drive!
More smiles...Rocky loves NY!
Here is Rocky with Ray Mehringer at the dinner. I love this picture. He and Ray really hit if off; Rocky kept rubbing noses with him. We had a great time at the dinner. It was so encouraging to meet other sem grads and those considering TMS in New England. Lou was asked to speak about his testimony and how he ended up at TMS. Since Lou graduated in December 2005, he never got to give his senior testimony, so he joked that now he had his opportunity!
Wednesday, October 1, was Gracie's 2nd birthday! Unfortunately, we were all sick except for Rocky, but we still sang and opened presents. She's having her official family party on Monday, but we had to give her our presents on her birthday. She got some presents from Grandma and Granpa, too. Here she is opening Kipper books. She loves Kipper! She got some videos, too, that my mom found on Ebay. He's a dog with a British accent, and the stories are very sweet.
Gracie is clapping because we sang "Happy Birthday" to her. It's one of her favorite songs. She sings it all the time. In fact, sometimes when Lou comes home from work, she says, "Happy Birthday!" to him. I think she thinks it's a greeting. Although if she says it tomorrow, she'll be correct. Lou will be 35 tomorrow!!!!!
Opening presents....
Gracie checking out her sparkly bracelets!

Gracie checking out her sparkly bracelets!I took this video tonight while we were having dinner. Gracie does this all the time, and it just makes us laugh. She points to her mouth and says, "Oh!" if we try to give her another bite before she finishes the one in her mouth. Sometimes Lou even tries to give her a bite early on purpose just to watch her do it!
Rocky is starting to hold himself in a standing position. Gracie decides to check out his progress!

Hi there!!! I can't wait to see you guys in just a couple of weeks!!! Rocky and Gracie are so cute!!! He is so blonde!!!
OOOOOOOOOhhhh my goodness! First of all, I cannot believe that you have two kids (yes, it's been that long), and secondly, I cannot believe how CUTE they are!!!! You all seem like you're immensely enjoying them! We miss you guys (and that Ray guy, too!) and think of you as we serve in separate states!
