Potty Training

By Gosh, I think she has got it. We started last Wednesday for the very last time. I decided it was now or never. Of course, it had nothing to do with the fact that she starts preschool next week and needs to be potty trained. Today was her first day with no accidents. We had to go out a couple of times and she did fine. She has even started telling us she needs to go. It is a little strange how she tells us but at least she is letting us know.

Missing Nicholas and Zachary

It has been a quiet week around here. Sunday night we met Dallas' sister Dee and took her Nicholas and Zachary. They were longing to spend a few days with her and she invited them to come stay. We pick them up Friday night. I hope they want to come home. She had lots of fun things planned for them. Last night they were going to a baseball game, they were going to play golf one day, and lots of other things. Dee lives on a farm so there are always things to do. I know the boys love the freedom of a huge yard(acres). Dee has a golf cart that they love driving around, too. I hope they are being good and can't wait to see them Friday.

Which Princess Are You?

Here are the results from my quiz. Click on the link and find out which princess you are.

You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)

Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.

Grace's Teeth

Grace did very well with surgery. She hasn't even cried. I was holding her when she woke up so she woke up very slowly and has been doing great. They removed 3 teeth, fixed one cavity. Put a couple of caps on and sealant on all her teeth. Of course, Xrays were taken too. Unfortunately 2 of the teeth they had to remove were her bottom front teeth. He felt if he left them that they would cause more problems. The concern was that infection was already setting in and they were so tiny anyway.

August 12, 2007

A year ago Grace entered our lives. Click here to read what I had to say a year ago. You then have to scroll down to August 12. I made 3 posts that day.

We are so thankful for this child. She is our Amazing Grace. She has brought so much joy to our family. I love seeing Julia and Grace play and laugh together. They are sisters in every sense of the word.

So I am sure you want to know how Grace is celebrating. She just entered the operating room. Yes, you read right, the operating room at UNC hospital. She is having dental work done. We were originally told that it would take 3-4 hours. This morning the doctor said it would probably take 1 1/2 hours. We are praying he is right. Grace will be having a couple of teeth removed, crowns, caps, fillings, xrays, Please pray for Grace this morning.
