Jeremy and Cassie during the dance Gracie and Jeremy Gracie all dressed up Sarah, Nick and Gracie Annie and Gracie Grandma and Gracie After Christmas, we celebrated Jeremy and Cassie's wedding. Nick, Gracie and I headed to Indianola on Friday to help with all the decorating and preparation. We had the rehearsal and dinner that night. There was a lot of work that went into it all and it was a beautiful wedding. Friday was a really nice day with temps around 60 degrees. It was amazing. However, everything froze that night and we had ice and freezing rain on Saturday morning. Unfortunately a lot of people couldn't get to the wedding. It was a very busy weekend, but so much fun to see everyone and my sister and Chad were also able to make it up for the wedding.

Gracie is almost rolling over on her own! Sleeping with her dad I know it has been awhile since I have update our blog. Since Thanksgiving we have been pretty busy and I also got sick and I think Gracie was also not feeling well for a few days. Gracie is still doing really well at daycare and they tell me that she is always happy there. She has rolled over from her tummy to her back, but isn't doing it consistently yet. She is almost rolling over from her back to her front, but not quite. She is able to hold things better now and is getting better at sitting. She can't quite do it by herself, though.
