Many First(s) 9:31pm

Well, it's upon us.. Tomorrow will be our baby girl's FIRST birthday..

I think up until an hour ago, I felt calm, cool & relaxed about the day &

her party on Saturday..but now, I feel nervous!

I have a good friend, Lisa that has checked in with me daily.. asking how

things were coming along for the party.. I would just text her back.. 'yup things

are going well'.. maybe she was on to something..

I feel like there's ALOT to do tomorrow!!

here's Grace with our favorite "Mother's Helper", Mollie.. what a GREAT picture!!

Today, Grace went on a Swing at Auntie Heather's for the first time..

I don't have a good picture of it..but tomorrow mommy, daddy & Gracie

are heading to Plymouth for a few hours in the morning & we will put her

on a swing.. that & Cupcake Charlie's (I've only heard good things about)..

then back to clean & get ready!!

I also found out tonight, our dear Preemie Mom friends, Kelley & Josh with

their baby Will from Maine that we befriended last year, our coming on Saturday!!

Glad I found out today.. imagine my surprise when they walked in on Saturday?

OMG.. I'm already in tears!! Can't wait to see them!

And Celebrate with our family & friends!!

Thanks everyone!!!

Love,

pattie & gary, Gracie & Maxwell
