Grace deep in prayer

We have always made it a point to give thanks to God before every meal. Grace now bows her head and says "Amen."
She has since become more convicted during our meal time prayers :)

Fun Photos!

Mommy and daughter.




Grace likes to tickle my ears :)

Phuong's Birthday!

This was Phuong's birthday party. Looking back at these photos, you would think that it was Grace's birthday :)

Potty training Grace

Grace has been doing well in potty training. She asks to go potty by saying "potty" for #1 and "poop" for #2.

Since she might need to go anytime, we carry a portable potty seat around with us everywhere because when you need to go, you need to go. This makes for very funny photos. I am thinking about doing a photo series like this :)

Picnic

We had fun at a group picnic for families who have adopted. This is the second one we have gone to and Grace had a great time.

Grace in the swings...it's the first thing she runs to.



Grace's forced smile :)




Grace loved looking at the squirrels in the park. Grace is the one in the foreground. We know this because of the name tag on her back :)



Grace loves to play with rocks and dirt.



Grace was trying to get another view of Mommy...



...so I got another view of Grace :)

Grace loves her Chap stick!

Enough said...

Grace at the spa

Our friends have a nice pool and spa in their community. We are fortunate to go there often and Grace has a great time!



I don't know what Grace was doing here but I hope that she does not grow up to be a swimsuit model!

GRACE BEING COOL IN HER SUNGLASSES

When Grace was a bit smaller, she would put her sunglasses on backwards. We had her repeat this for the photo :)



Grace loves style!

Potty Training!

A few days ago we started potty training. Grace still has some accidents even when we take her to the potty or ask her if she needs to go. We can tell pretty easily when she needs to go #2 but #1 is hit or miss. She is doing better. We are now on day six :)


We are encouraging Grace to read and go on the potty :)

BEACH DAY!

A few weeks ago we went to Redondo Beach with our good friends, "The Coopers." It was a very fun day. We spent a few hours on the beach, had a great lunch at an Irish pub on the board walk, went to Yogurt Land for some great yogurt, went swimming in the pool back at "The Coopers," then had a nice dinner with everyone. A very fun and busy day...but fun!

Grace had a great time playing with her "big sister" too.

Mommy and daughter on the beach. The red mark on Grace's nose was from the strawberries that she was eating.



Daddy and Grace entering the water. I would not let go of her hand! That's our good friend Ralph off to the left too.



Daddy and daughter pose for beach photo. That's "The Coopers" not far behind.



Grace likes her sand toy. We take it everywhere because there is always a sandbox :)



Grace and "big sister" Kira run down the board walk.





Grace enjoyed watching the big crabs.
