Who's the fairest of them all?

Playing at the park

It's nice to have a park we can walk to. We took Grace there to play and run around for a while. Also a good opportunity to take some photos!









Yet another birthday party

We went to two birthday parties on this day. Our neighbor's daughter turned 4 and our friends son, Ethan turned 3. We only had a little time at our neighbor's house before having to jet on over to the other party. Great food and good times though.

Grace had a great time playing with the other kids at Ethan's party. She got so excited seeing the other kids running around she just had to join in. The other kids and parents were very careful around Grace and let her join in the fun

Grace got right in the middle of things!




...and here is the video to prove it!


Cousin Stephanie's 2nd birthday

Phuong's cousin had a birthday party for her 2 year old daughter Stephanie. Grace had a great time "running" around with the other kids...and Mommy and Daddy. She also wanted to play in the big bouncer!

Grace and Mommy play in the bouncer.



Extreme close-up!



Grace was just fascinated with the ice in the cooler. She would play in it for a while until her hands got too cold and would start to cry. Then she went right back to the ice again.





Cousin Stephanie waiting patiently to cut the cake.





Mommy and daughter walking together. What a great moment! This was only one of the many, many walks of the day.


Play Time

A few weeks ago, our friend Amy and her son came over to spend time with us and , of course, Grace. Here are a few photo memories:

Grace and Byron play ball!



Grace and Byron play on the steps...don't worry, I was watching closely.



Grace looking very "hip" in her outfit.



Grace "carefully" opens her gift from Amy. Of course Mozart had to be in the picture as well :)

Phuong's family has a visit

Phuong's parents and brother came out for a visit recently. They had a great time playing with their granddaughter and niece. It only took a few days for Grace to get comfortable with having them around...although she still prefers Mommy and Daddy :)

Here are few photos from their visit:

A great photo taken by Phuong's brother...aren't we the happiest family you ever saw! :)



Three generations. Phuong's mom gets to hold Grace for awhile...what a wonderful moment.



Grace and her #1 dad!



We went to visit the cousins too. It was the first time that they got to meet Grace as well. Can you find any non-Asian in this photo? I can't.



Grandpa, Grace and Mommy...Grace was more interest in what was on TV then the camera.



Grace received a gift from my friend in Alaska. She enjoyed "opening" the box and the gifts inside.



This coat and shoes are actually for the build-a-bear that was in the gift box, but we could not resist trying to get Grace to wear them :)



Grace plays with her uncle.



Grace walking and laughing in her new shirt from Alaska.



Uncle An, Grace and Mommy too!



The grandparents get to feed their granddaughter..what fun!
