Happy Birthday to Grace!

Grace turned 5 yesterday!






Pretty much everything that could go wrong for a birthday did, but she didn't seem to mind too much. First her present didn't get here in time. Then I destroyed the cake trying to get it out of the pan. Dad was late getting home from work, dinner was even later. She wanted to go swimming for her birthday so we did, for a few minutes. Just as we were getting ready to leave the pool some boy tried to drown her twice! He said he was trying to "help" her when I asked him about it. It sure didn't look like he was helping her to me, nor did it feel like much help to her. I still don't know the whole story.

The good news is she lived through it and made it home to eat the destroyed cake that Randy managed to salvage and do a pretty good job of hiding the wreckage with frosting. Her present arrived this morning - it was scriptures, a blue quad with a button. We took them to get her name on them today - she picked rainbow and cursive, it's very beautiful. She likes them and is happy to finally have her own set.

Happy Birthday, Gracie!
