Fourth Anniversary

We drove to Philly this morning, and Gracie fell asleep in the car at 11:21 am. We could NOT believe it; she hasn't napped than early since she was 8 or 9 months. It was awesome because she slept almost the whole way, and then before we knew it, we were at Mom-mom and Grandpa's. We ate a nice lunch and went to the club, where Alex and I were married exactly 4 years earlier to the day. We were sure to take a few shots in front of the entrance with Grace, where our wedding photographer had captured some great pics on our wedding day. I wish I could do a side-by-side, but I don't have the proofs handy in digital.

Anyway, Grace was so excited to swim, too excited. She threw herself into the center of the kiddie pool so fast, she went under (horrible, scary moment), and I jumped in after her in full clothing and split my knee open on the filter at the bottom (horrible, painful moment). Grace continued to be dangerous and fearless, but since I was stuck on a lawn chair, Mom-mom had the pleasure of saving Gracie's life all afternoon. And Grace loved it - they swam, slid down the slide, played peekaboo, counted to ten in English and Spanish (I have to get video of this) and ate snacks. This afternoon Grace enjoyed exploring my parent's house, deck and [plucking their] beautiful flowers. Tonight Mom-mom surprised us with our favorite: Carvel!!
