Happy Easter!

Gracie's first horse ride on Bullseye.

Gracie meeting Scottie wth Gramma.


Gracie's Easter outfit
It hasn't been that long since I last updated, but it has been an eventful week again. Gracie has been doing well, but has had stuff coming out of her right ear. I finally took her in on Saturday after she wouldn't take a bottle on Friday night, which is really not like her. After waiting in the doctor's office for quite some time, we found that she has a double ear infection. she has not been all that fussy or abnormal, at least not until this weekend. They gave us antibiotics and ear drops, so hopefully this will clear up quickly. Ever since her doctor's appt, she hasn't been acting quite right.
Nick and I went out to eat on Friday night and tried to go shopping, but Gracie just wasn't very happy for most of the night. Again, not like her. Then Saturday night we had a babysitter for the first time and I went to a fight at Hilton with some friends. Nick was working, so I didn't really get to see him much. Gracie was great for the babysitter. She fell asleep around 6:45pm, woke up for a bottle around 8:45 and then went right back to sleep. Go figure.
We all went to Nick's mom's after church for Easter. Gracie got to go out and meet the horses. It was till a little bit chilly, but a relatively nice day. It was so good to see everyone again! Gracie got an Easter basket and loves playing with the plastic eggs. She is getting into anything she can get her hands on. She doesn't understand "no" yet. Hmmm...Will she ever????
She found Jasmine's water bowl this weekend and dumped that on herself. At least we don't have the dog food out all the time. I have tried giving her those puff cereal things, but she doesn't seem to like those very much. She makes a funny face and spits them out. She has started grinding her teeth (she has four now) when she is eating. Hopefully she is just learning how to use them and it will quickly pass. It drives both Nick and me crazy. She was up from 2pm yesterday until she went to bed around 8:30pm . She was very tired, but would not sleep. I'm hoping that just has something to do with being sick. She was not a happy baby last night. Hopefully today will be better. She is much happier when she has a good nap.
Gracie moved up to the next room at daycare. Now she is in the Ladybug room. I guess she holds her own with the bigger babies. They said that she could be the shortest walker. I think she really wants to walk, but she's just not there yet. She pulls herself up on things and knows how to do it, but not quite coordinated enough to put it all together. I think it will come sooner than we're ready for, though.

Sarah, you do such a nice job with this! I love it and she will think it's neat someday, too. We should have gotten some pics when she was on Zeus with Nick! She just is so not afraid of the horses at all.

Dreams and Goals Realized

  I have to start with this.  I have been hoping and waiting to post this for so long, and it is finally a reality for Gracie!  I'm sure that November 12 will be a day remembered for a very, very long time.  This fall has been such a roller coaster of emotions for all of us, revolving around Gracie's recruiting opportunities opening with D1 schools.  September 1 began the time of uncertainty, and navigating the past couple months has been challenging to say the least.  She has always known where she wants to be, but not sure if that goal would be her reality.  She has done everything she can to put herself in that place, and she finally got the call from Coach Anderson asking if she wanted to "officially be a tiger." I have never felt more impatient than the past 2 months, and we were told to enjoy the recruiting process...ugh. NO.  I know God has a plan, but sometimes it's so hard to be patient and wait for it to unfold.  Anticipation vs Anx...

Fall Fun

Homecoming 2024! Owen is looking pretty good all dressed up And Gracie is beautiful again. Look!  We match! Chase came over to "officially" ask her to homecoming the week before the dance. She was surprised and it was a success. Homecoming parade Owen looks a little bored. But Gracie is definitely having fun The whole weekend was beautiful, sunny, and warm.   Much better than last year during the parade. Chase picked Gracie up to go to Hartsburg for pics Owen wasn't quite ready yet. I love this pic of Gracie and Kate. This is a good one, too. Kind of crazy, 3rd homecoming together. With softball friends Chase, Gracie, Kate, and Pryce Lainie and Gracie More pics with Nova The junior class met down at the Katy Trail in Hartsburg again this year for pictures.  There were a lot of kids down there.  I thought that I got a pic of Brook in there, but I can't find it.  Then Chase and Gracie went out to eat at Chick Fil-A, of all places.  Then to the dance....

Gym Season!!!

Image
It is officially the season of sitting in gyms.  Basketball and wrestling are in full force, and we have 2 high school schedules going on.  Both kids have had their team pics taken and have each competed a handful of times.  Owen has had 2 tournaments and 2 duals and is wrestling varsity at 165 pounds.  It's not the weight that he expected to be at, but so far, he is doing ok.  He weighs in at just over 160 on a good day, so we are not having to worry about cutting/maintining weight at all.  At least not yet.  So, this is great!  The downside of this is that he is a freshman in a higher weight class, which means that he will most likely see a lot of juniors and seniors in his brackets. So far he is holding his own and getting better every day. Versailles tournament Last Saturday was spent in Versailles.  This was the most recent competition.  Owen did pretty well and placed 5th going 4-1 on the day.  I think there were 19 or 20 kids...
