Where Grace's box is and where she hangs her bag in her room.


Grace got moved to a new classroom at daycare. In this room she will be learning new fun things such as more sign language and some spanish. She will also be getting potty trained in this room. It was an exciting and also sad move. We really liked her old teachers and will miss her having them but are excited to see the new things Grace will learn in this room.

Weekend Fun!

We had a great weekend. We traveled to Ankeny on saturday to see Chris's family and go to the first Nationwide Nascar Race at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, IA. It was a lot of fun. This was my first nascar race and Chris's third race. Chris and I went to the race with his brothers Dustin and Andrew and sister-in-law Holly while Oma and Papa Harley watched Grace and Brayden. The race was an experience. On Sunday the boys got to go out for a little while to the driving range and hit balls. Then we all met up at the park to have a picnic where we got to see and hang out with Chris's step sister and family. Grace got to play with her cousins Ashleigh and Brady along with Brayden. What a nice and fun weekend!
