Gracie Back In The Papers
From email sent 10/12/07:
I know all of you get tired of hearing me brag...but she's my baby and I can't help it. Things here at the Shipley house are going well. Gracie loves school and is so excited about getting to continue with Tumble Tots (3 year old gymnastics).
I haven't gotten a progress report from school, and I am not sure if they even send those out in preschool, but everyday (so far) she has gotten a smiley face on her thumb. Which, of course means she was good. She is learning much needed social skills, and they come up with the cutest things to do. I blog of course about everything. I have even scanned in some of her crafts.
I know, I know...I am a cheesy mommy. But, I love my life and I couldn't imagine anything better.
The big news this morning, well it's big news in my small world, Gracie is going to be featured in an ad for Garren's newspaper. The Daily is hosting its annual book drive, and they were looking for pictures of employee's children to use. You can imagine how excited I was when Garren showed me the email! Gracie and I set to work with a home photo session. He must have really liked my photo, because not only is she going to be in the ad for 3 days out of 10 or more (their will be other employee kids who get days too), she will be in the huge ad that runs on October 20th. Garren says it will be in a "wrapper" around the coupons.
I just had to share. I took the above picture in her room. I thought it would be cute to set up her friends to hear her story. When the paper comes out on the 20th, I will scan in the whole ad.
In the meantime we are enjoying our fall. Garren is super busy with election season, but we have still found time for fun. We visited Grandma and Grandpa last weekend and went to some fall fairs and their version of a pumpkin patch. We will probably go to our pumpkin patch this weekend (its at a real farm).
Let us know how you are doing!
Have a Happy Fall,
Barbara, Garren & Gracie
