a little update

Today is Jason's birthday!!! Happy Birthday, Jason!! We went to dinner tonight at Stix with Jason's parents and my mom. This was Gracie's first time going to a Japanese restaurant and she LOVED it. She really liked the onion soup and was disappointed when we came back from the bathroom and they had taken her bowl. Suzanne shared the rest of hers with Gracie and she almost finished it off. She loved eating with the chopsticks. She's played with chopsticks before, but they gave her the children's kind that have the rubberband at the end and she did great with them. She ate most of her meal with them and greatly enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun watching her face during the cooking time. She even said at one point "This is really fun!". Jason had the great birthday song with the banging drum and that was entertaining, especially the hat. There was another family at the table with us and their son was celebrating his 13th birthday, so after Jason's song they came back and sang to him. Gracie enjoyed clapping along with the drum both times.

One day soon I hope to update with more pictures. We went to Disney on Ice a few weeks ago and Gracie had a blast. She was really looking forward to the princesses, but enjoyed the whole show too. We have a few pictures from that, so I hope to get those up here soon.

Our other news is that we're expecting baby #2! I'm 16 weeks and due in early May. We're really excited and Gracie loves to talk about the baby. We'll find out next month the gender of the baby, so be sure to check back mid December for that new info!
