Falling Into Grace

Just can't wait for Fall with Grace. She just loves the pumpkins, witches, and ghosts she sees.
We had fun the rest of summer with her. We went to the zoo with the Newell's from Logansport and had a blast! We went to several concerts at Ravania this summer and she loved to dance and watch all the people.
We are going ncxt week to San Antonio with our in-laws for a week. We plan on meeting up with friends we met in China and their girls too. Those pictures to follow.
Have a great Fall! The Beckner's

Summer 08

Okay I am so sorry I haven't posted sooner. This summer is flying by. Grace is really doing great. She loves her home, family, and visting new friends and family all the time.
We had her baptized on June 20th and that was fun. We had family coming in from all directions. My cousin who is a pastor performed the ceremony in our backyard.
She has now met all my family and Carl's. They all love her dearly and have spoiled her rotten.
We visited the Newell family in Logansport who we were with in China. I think Lilly and Grace remembered each other. We are planning a trip to the zoo in September with them. My brother also lives in Logansport.
Grace still isn't talking alot but understands everything which amazes us. She is feeding herself. And the speech is coming. New words are coming each week.
We will watch the Olympics tomorrow and be amazed that we got to visit China and even have a piece of it forever with us in Grace.
I will write soon. Sure looking forward to fall with Grace.
Here are some new pictures!

Home At Last

It's June 5th and we are home and loving it...Grace has been wonderful. She is sleeping thru the night and taking nice 2 hour naps! A bonus for Mom.
She really likes playing in her room and downstairs we made a nice kitchen play area. She really likes cook and play with her food and plates. One of her favorite areas is our pots and pans. Big fun.
She also likes to play outside and help her Mom in the garden. She is such a joy and changing everyday.
Will post more pictures soon!
The pictures are of Grace in th backyard and running at my old workplace...
