“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” -Proverb 18:10

April was a whirlwind of activities. As crazy as the weather was our lives were even crazier! It began peaceful enough then quickly spiraled out of control. We enjoyed a cold but lovely Easter. Grace loved hunting for eggs. She really loves hard boiled eggs. Grace attacked her Easter Bunny with gusto! Chocolate, a girl’s best friend! Chocolate and sugar ladened sweets abounded for weeks afterward. Then I received news that my mother (Denise) has breast cancer. The entire month took on a new note. The girls and I traveled to Pennsylvania while Dave stayed here to finish his college courses. Grace enjoyed meeting her extended family.
For those of you who have been praying for my mom, thanks. Mom’s surgery went well; the cancer was removed and now Mom is undergoing radiation treatment and pill therapy. The doctors expect good things.

We returned to NC May 4th. Grace traveled well; her favorite pass-time is irritating Nicole, much to Cecily’s delight! Sweet revenge! While we were up a Nana’s, Grace started to explode with language! It is wonderful to hear her sweet little voice parroting everything we say. No word escapes her notice. Now she likes to point at things and ask “what’s that?” She also likes to perform for the girls’ friends by making faces. When asked, Grace will make “Angry Eyes”, “Happy Face”, “Surprised”, “Afraid”, and everyone’s favorite “The Freeze”. Grace seems to enjoy “Angry Eyes” and “The Freeze” the most, When she is asked to make her happy face she says “Happy!” at the same time. I love it! We are working on “Sad Face” – Grace can’t hold this long and dissolves into giggles when she sticks out her bottom lip.

No mommy, I haven't been playing in the dirt.
