Hump Day Wed. 10/19/11 @ 9:15pm

Hi, everyone! Long, but GREAT day with Gracie & Auntie Heather.  Auntie Heather came in last night about 9:30pm with gifts galore, new Nancy Tillman books (2 of them!); and a painted picture from Abby & some Halloween decorations for Gracie's room.. can't forget the Halloween duck from Abby too!!  We talked til 2:00 a.m. last night, and then was up at 8:00 to see Gracie.

This was Gracie when we arrived!! Cute Pumpkin hat, Margo snagged for us!! Soo cute!!

I also was able to give Gracie her first bath in a little tub.  Here are some pictures Heather captured from the moment.  And Gracie did wonderfully with it, she didn't cry at all, and was very calm in the water.  Soo cute!!!

Here she is in bathtub! And here she is on right with her hair turbin in, drying her hair!!







We had a great day with Ms. Gracie.  The surgeon will be in tomorrow to discuss the hernia surgery with Daddy & I; and I will keep you all posted.  I, actually, came home with Heather (and we talked, and talked all 3 hours! on the way home.  Resolved the world's problems anyway :).  Thanks Heather!!  I then surprised Gary at our friend's Peter & Paula's house for dinner, he was very suprised.  We had a very nice dinner, and now home sitting on couch (after spending 20 minutes throwing away papers..those damn papers.. lol).  Will get to bed soon though, as we are leaving at 5:00 a.m.

Thanks to Lisa S. for all the clothes & toys & such..I'm seeing the clothes 'bags' for the first time.. boy, do I have a lot to do before Gracie comes home!!  (I need to find a bureau first for all of them to fit!)

Miss Gracie after her bath.. soo cute!!

And this is Auntie Heather with Gracie...

Okay folks..gotta get to bed!  Love you guys,

pattie & gary, gracie & maxwell :)
