FIVE

Well, now that it is a week past Grace's birthday, I realized that I never did her birthday post!  Things were crazy last Sunday...and never seemed to slow down. Such is life anymore.

Five years ago at 6:43 pm with the late afternoon sun coming through the window in the hospital in Yreka, CA, our little princess entered the world. Grace Olivia, arriving 8 days late on Sept. 21st. She had the chubbiest cheeks I've ever seen on a child. We think that's where a good portion of her 8 lbs 13 oz was :) She was our smallest baby.  Here's a look back at our diva - she keeps us all hopping!

And here's a look back at the post introducing Grace to the world via the blog...the only one we had a blog for when they were born :)

In her birthday dress in our front yard before church last week...she didn't think I'd get it done in time, but I did :)

She's celebrated her birthday in a different house each year since 2011 - Etna, Fort Jones, Grants Pass and now Merlin...we plan on celebrating many more here!
