Matt says this picture makes me look like a real Mom. Talking to someone, holding Grace, holding a piece of paper, pushing my hair out of my eyes- multitasking while taking care of our daughter. He said this is a real Mom moment.

This is about a week old, but here is Grace and Mommy when Grace had her double ear infection and Mommy had her sinus infection and bronchitis. We were quite the sad pair.

Here's one picture from Grace's first birthday party. We had almost 40 people- 10 kids and babies! It was a lot of fun and we were so happy to share her special day with our loved ones.

Happy First Birthday!

Grace did not like her cake- AT ALL. I gave her a little frosting and she made this face and refused to go any further. I'm glad she didn't inherit Mom's sweet tooth!

What a change

A few years ago, if you had told us that we were going to have a party and this is what our office would look like, we would have laughed at you! What a difference a few years make!

Labello = Nivea a Kiss of Moisture

Matt and I are so excited! When we were on our honeymoon in Italy, we came across this awesome lip product called Labello. We brought some home with us but of course ran out. A few years ago, we found we could order it through Amazon- at $13 a tube!!!! Today at Fry's we spotted a tube of Nivea A Kiss of Moisture and said "this looks just like the Labello tube!". We bought it for $2.49, came home and compared tubes, and sure enough, it is made by the same company- it is the same stuff!!! Our lips have never been happier.
