Rays of Sunshine: 25 Weeks Old

25 weeks old today!!

25 Weeks Old and teething...
Everything (including hands) into the mouth

This last week was so much calmer than last. Grace Lynn got to go back to KinderCare since she is not contagious and I got to go back to work. She was very happy to see some familiar faces (her friends and teachers!).

This weekend I actually got out and ran for the first time since Grace was born... yep, I know I've been slacking :( It is just so hard to find the time between work, house chores, and spending time with family. Thank you so much Erin though for running with me and for the encouragement!! It wasn't easy to say the least, but I survived! Now, I just gotta get back out there and do it again... I am so wanting to get back into shape!

Well, Garrett survived his last day at his old company; it was a bittersweet day. He has been working there for about 7 years and Thursday was his last day. They have been good to him, but he was offered an opportunity elsewhere and we do believe that it was God opening another door for him. So, Monday was his first day at his new job. So far, he enjoys the people he works with and the company is a good company. I cannot wait to see how he grows with this new company and thank God for this opportunity. We have been praying about his job situation for a while and this just affirms many of our questions.

Grace Lynn also went to the doctor for another follow-up this week. Thank you all for all the prayers... they are being answered! She's been using her inhaler for several days now and her bronchialitis is showing signs of improvement. The doctor was very impressed with her progress and said that she is doing well! She goes back again next week for her 6 month physical and for another follow-up... so, we will see then how she is doing, but so far, all is on the up and up. She is one happy girl and is moving like crazy... we do believe she will be crawling in the next week or two... only time will tell. We aren't rushing it though because time is already going by WAY TOO FAST!
