A Day of Grace

I have always loved sayings with the word "grace" in them...

A Day of Grace
Graceful
Amazing Grace
Pretty Amazing Grace (thanks, Neil Diamond)
We're Giving You a Grace Period
Say Grace

So, yesterday was a Day of Grace for me.  Grace arrived at 6:15 AM so her parents could drive down to Portland to meet with a restaurant client.  Since they make the trip there and back in one day, I had Grace All Day...from 6:15 AM to 9:15 PM.

And, it was a Pretty Amazing Grace Day.

We played, took pictures, ate, took more pictures, rocked in the rocking chair, slept, worked on crawling (SOOOO close, Grace!), ate some more, sang some songs, danced to Oak Ridge Boys Christmas CD (Grace's intro into a MAJOR Christmas tradition in our family - it's just not Christmas season without the Oak Ridge Boys!), walked in the walker (not me, yet!), played again, slept again...you get the picture.

And speaking of pictures, here you go...

Grace is NOT sure that spending a whole day with MamaRaye is such a good idea...

Man, I SOOO want those toys...if only I could figure out the whole arm thing.

Did it...my way.

Pretty Amazing Grace (Is that hair getting a tinge of red?  Just like Big Brother.)
