Bits of News

Things have been busy around here lately. And things have been on the move, literally.

1 - Grace is now walking all on her own. Thursday of last week, she realized that if she let go, she could walk straight across the room instead of all the way around it. It is so fun to watch. She is wobbley and straight-legged still. And she falls a lot. But she really likes it.

She is into everything now too. I cannot believe the things that she has found that she had not noticed before. Most of it is fine except for the fact that my hutch is one of the things she has discovered. It seems that the only way I know she is in it is when a dish falls. Luckily nothing has broken yet but it seems destined to only be a matter of time.

2- Caroline believes that markers are like Mom's make-up. She had put it on herself and her sister a few too many times. So now this is a marker free house. No more confusing markers for make-up.

Amazing how when she put it on herself, she got it pretty much right. But when she put it on Grace, it was not quite right.

3 - Sadly, Kris's grandmother passed away over the weekend. Alice was 96 and living happily in a nursing home in Willmar. She passed peacefully and painlessly in her sleep from an illness. We will miss her but are thankful for the time we have had with her. And more importantly, we are thankful that she is now with Jesus, her husband, and Chuck (Kris's Dad). She had aged happily but she missed them and was ready to go. It is good to know she is still smiling and will be forever.

Love you Grandma Alice.
