Gracie's Second Easter
From family email March 30, 2005:
We hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday and are enjoying the spring. Gracie had a fun Easter week. We started off with a surprise trip to Tennessee. We were only there for a few days as Garren covered a hearing in Abingdon. Unfortunately we had little notice and were unable to see everyone while we were there. We will be back in TN for the week of May 14-21. We hope that we get to spend time with all of our Tennessee friends!! We spent last week in Lynchburg with Grandma & Grandpa & Mariah (our niece). Gracie cried on the lap of the Easter Bunny, but loved the train in the mall that was there for the occasion. She looked adorable in her Easter dress that mom made for her...and she and Mariah were precious since Mariah requested an identical dress.
The Easter bunny was very good to Gracie and she got to dye eggs for the first time. We did orange (her favorite color), and purple (the color of Barney)--she had a wonderful time. She got an Easter basket from Grandma & Grandpa; and the Easter bunny brought her first baseball, a dump truck for the sand, several books, and finger puppets, as well as other cute odds and ends including her first chocolate.
Gracie is walking and talking up a storm. She is very proud of herself and insists on walking everywhere. She just got really confident within the last week or so. She is also repeating everything she hears. It’s amazing how fast she learns. She is also pretending!! I wouldn't believe the other day she fed her baby pretzel and made the "ummmmm" sound while doing it--and then ate the pretzel because she knew the baby wasn't really eating it!!!
I have boosted enough. As always we would love to hear from you and get pictures!!!
All our love,
Barbara, Garren & Gracie
