making Grandma Pat proud

Grace is turning 4 at the end of this month. My mom is having her knee replaced this coming Friday. Timing was an issue. You see, my mom is incapable of giving late birthday presents...and she and Dad decided to give Grace an antique school desk for her birthday (not exactly shippable). So, the solution? Mom and Dad road tripped down two weekends ago to deliver the present and help Grace start celebrating her birthday 6 weeks early (hence the title...Mom's mom, Grandma Pat, loves a nice, long birthday celebration!). We had a great weekend visit full of soccer, Sequence for kids, eating and playing outside. And Mom and I even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Kohl's, because it seems she may also be incapable of coming to Lexington without going to Kohl's. :)
This shot is probably what sealed the deal on the need for the knee replacement!

Grace was pretty proud to show Grandma and Papa that Sam gave his old tricycle to her recently. He knew she was getting a little tall for her pink tricycle and since he got a new bike for his birthday, he thought Grace might like to have his old tricycle...and his little sis was thrilled. They have their moments...love it.

Being silly with Grandma & Papa...the kids wanted to show their feet in the pictures and they thought it was hilarious when Papa suggested he and Grandma do the same :)


And here is where we can find Grace on a regular basis ever since she accepted her birthday delivery: at her desk coloring with her Color Wonder markers (a.k.a. the best markers ever created).
Thanks for coming down, Grandma & Papa!
