We are back from Oklahoma and had a great time visiting with David's family. This picture sort of reflects how things went, although upon reviewing the video, Gracie didn't cry the entire time, just most of the time and wiggled throughout the rest. There are more photos (just click on the photos link or on the photo above). Other than spending lots of time with Grammy, and telling her to answer her phone when it rang, and re-programming ring tones on Aunt Liz's cell phone, Gracie had a great time playing with her cousins Vinnie, Cosmo, Damian and Carmine, and meeting her older cousins Anna, Gabrielle, Asa, Chad, Justin, and Alison. Another highlight was visiting the fire station, where she got to see the big trucks and got a red fire hat. On our final night in Krebs, Fenyi buddy, Natalie came to visit, along with her parents, Jubal and Stephanie (who drove 2 hours each way!) to enjoy some pasta at Roseanna's and of course, pose for pictures with Gracie. We got Gracie dressed in her new OU threads just for the occasion. Flight home was great, with Gracie nodding off for a nap before takeoff and waking up as we were landing (It was a "Navy" landing so parents clutching on to her probably woke her up.) We are home now, with a huge extra suitcase loaded with clothes and other gifts from her fabulous family in Oklahoma. We all hope they can come out to see us soon in Las Vegas!

Whoops, forgot the camera cables
Gracie had her baptism at St. Josephs and, well, she screamed and kicked through the entire thing, but they say that's they way you can tell it sticks, so it stuck good. Aunt Liz helped out by providing a cell phone for Gracie to play with, but it was the cool beads that finally did the trick, and it was soon over. All Gracie wanted to do is climb on the altar and play with the bas-relief of the last supper, which her cousins Carmine, Vinnie and Cosmo and Damian helped her do afterward. Then everyone, including Father Leo, trooped over to the house for pasta from Roseanna's. We found we forgot the cables to the camera, so it will be a day or two before photos are posted. Today we are relaxing with long naps, as Gracie had a restless night from all the excitement. In the meantime, enjoy this photo from home with Gracie and Sunny.

Ciao Krebs, OK?
OK, we are in Oklahoma,its supposed to warm up to 32 degrees or something, and its clear but cold. This afternoon is Gracie's Baptism. She has met Gramy, Aunt Louise, Uncle Michael, Aunt Liz, Uncle Peter, Uncle Paul, Uncle Vincent, Aunt Clare, UNcles Matthew and Jason, UNcle Glen, Cousins Cosmo and Damian, Cousin Asa, Cousin Chad. Tonight, we meet Aunt Felicia and Aunt Emily, and even more cousins. Gracie enjoyed the gnocchi at Roseanna's and has been busy playing and meeting everyone. Right now she is taking the last 1/2 hour of her nap, then we put her in her fabulous baptism outfit, wrestle with the hair, then off the the church we go. Pictures soon! http://www.roseannas.com/

Preparing for Oklahoma
We are off to Oklahoma next week, and Gracie is busy preparing for the pounds of pasta and love that awaits her there. She just loves spaghetti--bow ties, noodles, spaghetti Ohs--are OK, (no pun intended) nothing compared to the real stringy stuff, as demostrated here.

Peek-A-Boo!
Grace went to the doctors today and she is weighing in a 16.10 lbs, and 28 1/2 inches tall at 15 months. Looks like she gained 3/4 of an inch since we came home and she is doing "great!". The cute thing she did today: Sunny was asleep (or pretending to be) on her back. Gracie then placed her stacking cubes on her belly. Sunny just lay there. These two are conspirators. Gracie knows how to ask for graham crackers and Cheerios, then she gives them to Sunny. Sunny, in turn, shares her milk bones with Gracie, who crawls under the table to grab the pieces Sunny leaves for her. They must taste just fine, because Gracie just laughed as I tired to pry them from her mouth. This photo. Gracie loves playing Peek a Book around the back door. The new songs she loves now are "Row Row Your Boat" and My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean and actually tries to sing the "Bring back" part..by singing "Bay-Bee-Bay-Bee." Humm. We better start saving for those music lessons
