Gracie's baptism







Gracie's baptism was this past weekend, so we had our whole family at our house. It was so good to have everyone together and I'm glad everyone could come. Gracie did very well and slept through almost the entire service. She was very happy to have a lot of attention, too.
I am back to work now and will be starting work at Ames Schools next week. Gracie has been going to daycare everyday and seems to be doing fine. She was struggling with eating the first couple days, but hopefully that is getting better. She has been sleeping all night for the past five nights. Usually she goes to bed around 10-10:30 and we get her up around 7am to get ready for the day. She woke Nick up last night, but he put her pacifier back in her mouth and she fell back asleep. So, no complaints here. It has been so nice getting six hours of sleep all at once. I'm sure Gracie likes it too.
I don't know many more updates. We are taking her to her two month doctor appointment today. I am looking forward to finding out how much she weighs. She has certainly grown a lot. I will put more pictures on here when I get some from Nick's mom this weekend and I'll let everyone know how her check up went.

BIG NEWS

A LOT has happened since the beginning of September.  The month flew by, and there have been many softball games, football games, late nights, and early mornings.  What has transpired during the past week and a half was very unexpected and even more overwhelming.  So, just to put it out there, Gracie has decided to take the opportunity to graduate early and start her collegiate career a little sooner than expected... in January.  It's crazy even thinking about it, and the emotions have been all over the place for me.  This was not an easy decision, but at the same time, a decision that makes so much sense it's hard to think twice about it.  So, all other things aside, here is the story... September 20, after Gracie's softball games at home, we went to the Mizzou football game as a family.  We stopped by the softball tailgate to see some of Gracie's Aces teammates and their families who are now at Mizzou.  Both the head coach and the hitting coach ...

Closure for High School Softball

Wins, losses; we all experience both, sometimes very close together.  All in the same week... district championship win, then 5 days later state quarterfinal loss to end the season. Such a roller coaster and whirlwind of events.  Our girls had a great season and accomplished the goals they set.  District Champs and Conference Champs.  First time in over a decade for Southern Boone Softball to achieve either.  It's not that last loss against Cassville that gets to me.  It's the finality of all of it.  High School softball is done.  Finished.  Complete. Gracie said earlier this week that this is the first time she has been a student without the athlete part.  But what a ride it has been...but there is so much more coming. So excited after beating California to win Districts! The highs of winning with your team. Then, the last team huddle after the final out of the season. The last moments in the dugout This resonates with me always. ...

Fall Sports Conclude

Image
It's been almost three weeks and things are changing by the day.  The first round of district football was on Halloween, so the kids who did attend had fun with it and dressed up.  We also won, which meant that we got to play another game! Pre-game vs Fulton Gracie and Chase as Lola and Bugs Bunny from Space Jam My dad watching the football game from home. Owen got priority on the big screen. The World Series was on the small screen. Next game vs Moberly We played really well in the first half and were up, but ended up not being able to score in the 2nd half. The last game of any season is always tough. Owen #32 Owen with Pryce and Justice; two seniors Post-game Bentlage boys photo They were forced to take a pic with their mamas. It has been fun watching you, Owen. I am getting better at understanding what's going on. After November 7, fall sports were completely done.  It was very strange for Gracie to not go right into basketball practices or have Aces softball tourname...
