Hello again!

Ok, so it has been FOREVER since I've blogged anything! It has been craziness around here. So much has happened...let me sum it all up. In November we moved from our home in Apache Junction, where we'd lived for nearly 8 years, to Queen Creek. We are now alot closer to both sets of grandparents and a couple of our siblings as well. It's so important to us to be close to our families and it has been such a blessing in SO many ways. In December, Gracie had her first dance recital. She was darling! And did a relatively good job...considering that it was a class full of 3 year olds. :) Christmas came and it was so amazing to share in Rosalie's first Christmas. In January Gracie turned 4 and all she wanted for her birthday party was to have a "pee-YA-ta". And so she did! She loved it as much as she thought she would. Then in February we went to Disneyland!!! We had a BLAST! And we can't wait to go again! Gracie is now in soccer and loving that. I'll post pictures of that soon. In the meantime, here's a look at that last 6 months...




Gracie all ready for her recital.

The girls in their Christmas dresses....OOOH I love them!

Don't you just want to eat those cheeks?!


Rosalie was the star in the annual Stewart Christmas nativity. Gracie played Mary.




Gracie got a Princess scooter from Santa Claus, complete with helmet, knee and elbow pads. She wore the accessories more than she rode the scooter. She looks...great! :)

What a CUTE girlie!!
