Grace had her first adventure in a swimming pool today. I was somewhat skeptical about her enjoying the experience very much. The water was freezing cold (Spencer and I had to ease ourselves in very slowly) and Grace isn't the...bravest of babies. :) I figured she'd scream and protest at first and then gradually decide that water was okay. This is how she seems to react with all things new. However, something about being here in Illinois has turned her into a little daredevil. When we put her in, she started a bit, but then was perfectly content to float around--in water that even Spencer and I were hesitant to be in! It was really quite adorable. She was so happy! By the end, she was leaning back against the floaty relaxing and soaking in the sun. Apparently, there will be a lot of swimming in our future. :)


It was Grace's little friend Beau's first experience in a swimming pool as well, but he didn't like it as much. Grace kept trying to assure him that it was okay, but he didn't trust her.

So cute!!! I take care of my nieces and nephews in the early morning but it can be very flexible too now that my mom is done with the school year.
She was even kicking her legs! So cute!
Sam wanted me to say that Spencer looks WHITE! So there you go. :-)
The truth is I'm pretty white...farmer white.
It looks like Grace has a tattoo. Maybe she's turning into too much of a dare devil there in Illonois!
Funny: I thought the title said Grace and the Fish. So I read the whole post and didn't get it: where was the fish? Then it dawned on me. Yeah, I guess I'm a little fatigued in the eye department. So cute.
That picture is deceiving because I am oh so very pregnant. That is flattering though.
That is so fun! Ruby and Grace will both be little swimming friends some day! dont worry spence... lonnie has you beat with the farmer tan thing... and gracie has a tat?! what is that? haha! miss you guys!
Finally?! I am huge and have been for a while! I actually feel like I am getting smaller now. But I guess I am just getting used to being so large.
