Last weekend(Aug. 15-18th) Grace and I spent the weekend in Algona, IA with Chris's parents and Chris went to Michigan with his brothers and sister-in-law. Daddy had a fun weekend at the races and we had lots of fun in Algona. Grace experienced some of her firsts. Grace went to the public library, she got to feed fish in a pond, and went on her first harley ride. Grace had a lot of fun since she spent the whole weekend with Oma and Papa Harley and they took her out to show her off. She got to see and play with her Tik Tak Oma and Oma's day care kids. With all the pictures you can see all the fun we had.
Will update later Daddy's trip to Michigan for the Nascar races.

Some of Grace's 9 month pictures............

It was a lot of fun to take Grace to get her pictures taken. At first she wasn't really sure what to think but she warmed up and was a ham. We captured some of her fun expressions.

Crawling.............Miss Grace proved us wrong.

"Here I go."
"I am on the move."
"Look at me go."
" I got what i want, nothings going to stop me."
Look who can go every where now.

We really thought Gracie was not going to ever crawl. Well she proved us wrong thursday night. I was at work and daddy and her were hanging out at home when the little peanut thought she would start something new. Chris saw her crawl and couldn't believe it, he even got it on video camera. They called me up at work to let me know the exciting news. I couldn't believe it was really true. It is so cute to see he crawl all over. Grace crawls like she has been doing it forever. She just keeps on amazing us.
