Gracie making cookies
The last week has flown by! Here are just a few pictures. Gracie helped make cookies about a week ago. I think she ate a lot of the cookie dough. She takes after her mom in that sense. Owen developed an ear infection and we had to take him to the doctor. I'm glad we did, though. He has not been sleeping well at all. My parents came to visit and spent Christmas Eve here, along with my aunt, uncle, cousin and grandma. It was so nice to have them all at our house! Annie and Chad even stopped by briefly before going to his parents'.
We traveled to Nick's mom's for Christmas Day. Gracie got to play outside for awhile in the new snow. Then Sunday we went to my Grandma's to celebrate xmas with that side of the family. Next weekend we are back at Nick's mom's to see all of his siblings.
Owen is now able to sit in the exersaucer, which he loves. We also tried some cereal with him. He was pretty messy, but he seemed to like it. He is still rolling over all the time and he likes to be able to sit up and see everything that's going on.
Gracie has been home with me all day today. She was not feeling well and slept all morning and just got up to eat around 1:30pm. That's not like her at all. She seems to be doing better now and is starting to talk my ear off again. She had a little fever, but nothing too serious. So I have had to stay home and catch up on laundry and other chores at home. I also did all of my financial aid stuff online today. Grad school starts in April!
I guess that's all for now. I'm sure there will be more pictures and news after next weekend!

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...
