An even split!

Yup...for those who don't already know - last week we had our ultrasound and found out that the sea monkey is a boy! Everything checked out well, he was very cooperative with "verifying" that there is no doubt that we can start thinking of boy names and buying things that are blue. We also told Gracie, who gets the concept of "baby," but "brother" is not sinking in quite yet. She may have to see it to believe it!
We are due the very end of August, although we will meet with the doctor probably the end of June/beginning of July to schedule the official August delivery date.
And now to jump into the name game....hmmmmm....

little rafter girl

we recently stopped at NRS on a whim -a favorite of ours when it comes to rafting - and while looking around, Grace decided to make herself at home in on of the rafts in the floor display. Too bad we won't get to take a trip this summer...but next year we should be back on track! :-)

Well...it's official...we are in to the *terrible* twos! So far they haven't been too bad, but there's definitely been moments. This weekend Grace had her birthday party and it was fun & the weather even agreed!

Lots of family and friends came over and helped us celebrate & Grace even got to have a sleepover party with cousin Caleb! It was a Dora-theme, since EVERYTHING comes around to Dora with gracie-bean...and boy was that a hit! She even got messy with her cake this year, but really just because that was the only way to get at the Dora doll inside. (Thanks to Sara H. for the great cake idea!)

There's lots more photos of the birthday, and swim lessons, in the new slideshows in the right-hand scrollbar...check them out!
