WHOA! Way to long time to Post

I guess these past two months have just flown by us and there has been so much going on that I have not posted on this blog in forever so I guess I will give you a quick and simple overview since June 1st.

• Uncle Matt and Aunt Jacki got Married on the 6th of June. I did there wedding pictures. It was a beautiful wedding. Grace was so cute in her little white dress.
• I turned the big 29 the last year of my twenties oh no.
• I participated in a booth church yard sale with my photography business to get some leads but they really haven't panned anything out.
• We went to Marseilles on our anniversary for the weekend seeing lots of family from both sides as we had a Buffo Reunion and Max Brian's cousin's grad party in Naperville.
• Grace and I stayed in Marseilles for the week. i had several Photoshoots and she enjoyed time with the grandparents.
• July 3rd we road triped it once again to MN to be with family over the 4th. It was a great 10 day vacation for us all around. We started to figure things out to be able to move back at the end of the summer.
• It was great to see many friends and family while we were there.
• Grace had her first birthday party on the 4th of July. She loved her Chocolate cake.
• When we returned home we picked up Grandma Angell on the way and she stayed with us for a week. We went to a farm and went and visited her Aunt Shirley who is not good in a nursing home. She will be leaving this world soon.
• That next weekend we went back to Marseilles to Celebrate Grace's birthday with the Angell family. Grace was so fortunate to have two Great grand parents at her party. Great Grandma Angell came out from the nursing home and Great Grandpa Bloom surprised us from Bourbonnais on his way through town to head to MN for the week to celebrate his birthday as well.
• Days have flown by and finally Miss Grace's REAL birthday came. We really didnt do much that day. Brian picked up a cake on his way home as we were out of eggs so I couldn't make her one. She loved every bite of it.

Well as I mentioned we will be moving back to MN the end of August. We are waiting to figure out all the details of the move especially where we will be living. God knows our needs and he is right there ready to meet them. Looking forward to being back with family and friends that we left a year ago. Grace is getting bigger everyday and growing like a weed. She is almost walking and is finally getting two teeth one on top and one on bottom. They started to come just in time for her birthday. She is talking more loves to read and giggles alot. We are so blessed to have such a happy baby.

Well I will close with a request to just continue to pray for us as we make this journey of packing and returning to MN.

Love always

Liz Brian and Grace

Trip To MN

We had a wonderful time in MN last weekend for the holiday. It was so great to see friends and family. Grace had a great time crawling around everywhere. Now I can't keep her contained :) She loves to giggle at just about anything funny or not. She loves music. I think Brian secretly taught her how to do her hand pump and head bang! The trip there and back in the car was long but it was so worth seeing everyone. We will be hopefully coming back up in July for a week.

This weekend my brother is getting married. It is such an exciting time!
Well I am going to put a link here to my pictures which is a little easier then cluttering the site.
Hope you enjoy
Love
Liz Grace and Brian

Grace's Play Dates

Well Grace is on the move. She likes to go from crawling to sitting position to move around these days. She also knows how to pull herself up in her crib and usually isn't in the same position i put her to sleep in when she wakes up. She loves to look at her Books and play with her toys. She usually likes to stan holding your fingers. We have had a couple play dates with friends this last month pictures below. We are hoping to make even more friends in the coming weeks. We are planning a trip to MN in two weeks. We are counting down the days to see all of you up there. Well i will leave you with some pictures. Love Liz

Happy Day after Easter

MORE TO COME!!!!!

Long Time No See

Wow it has been a long time since I have posted. I realized it when well I just looked at the blog and hadn't put anything up in a month and no pictures in even longer. Well that is what happens when your a full time working mom.

Grace is growing so much every day. She has such a sweet spirit about her. She loves to talk when she wants to talk and it is not usually when one of her sets of grandparents are on the phoen or webcam. She says DaDa and Hi and all sorts of Grace words :) Moms you know what I mean. She is going to be 8 monthis this coming weekend. That is so hard to believe!

We have been living in Indy for 7 months coming this weekend. That is also hard to believe. Not sure what the future will hold for us here or there. Just keep praying and waiting for guidance.

For those of you who don't know I am starting my own photography Business. It is called Amazing Grace Portraits. I have already done there sessions to get the experience in. I am really excited for what my future will hold. I am mainly word of mouth advertising. So if you are reading this and would be interested in speaking with me about onsite photography and what my prices are just give me a shout out.
My job currently is up in the air in the school district due to some uncontrolable situations. I will probably go back to subbing while I look for another full time job and try to get this business going. Brian continues to work SO HARD at his job. Traveling every day to so many different parts of Indiana.

We are so happy for the nice weather we have had recently and hope it STAYS!
We have been meaning to take Grace to the park or for a walk and hope to do that this week.
Last weekend we went to Ohio to visit with friends and also do their two little boys pictures.
Grace was so cute with both of them. I think she was trying to decide which one she might marry someday :) Pictures will be shown. Grace's visit to Ohio makes her count of states total to 6 at 7 and half months.
Well I will post some pictures hope you enjoy
Love
Liz
