Big Day!

Last Thursday was a BIG DAY here at our house.  First, Charlie showed up early early to stay with me while Aaron and Erin took Grace down to Children's Hospital for her regular checkup with all the specialists and nutritionists, etc.

Charlie got into the chopstick drawer and did this while I wasn't looking...

I thought that was pretty cute and pretty smart!
Then Jenny and Courtney showed up for a great visit...

Then Ed came home for some soup and a bite of lunch and to say hi..

Ed with Jen and Charlie and Courtney, who I think just swallowed some soup...:)

Then Aaron and Erin and Grace came back home and had lunch and visited...and had the MOST amazing news.
Grace can eat normally...no food restrictions except those most 10 month olds would have.  Her little body is metabolizing food correctly.  What an answer to prayers we didn't even know to pray!

Jenny and Grace, Jen's first time to meet her.

The amazing cousin twins...Erin and Courtney

And, finally, Charlie early in the morning, after we measured him on the measuring doorway.
He wrote his name himself...and he is exactly 39 inches tall.

A BIG DAY... in so many wonderful ways!
