Under construction! (And pictures...lots and lots of 'em)

As you can see our blog is under construction right now! Sorry, it might take awhile for us, by us I mean Aaron, to get it how we want it, by we I mean me!
Halloween is fast approaching and then comes my favorite holiday. Want to guess what it is? It's Thanksgiving! I LOVE Thanksgiving! Having your family around, eating as much as you want, having leftover turkey sandwiches with mayo, a holiday that no one gets presents or even treats just good tasty food, to be thankful for what you have, to just remember your blessings... I could go on but I'll spare you. It's sad that the world doesn't care about Thanksgiving - we just skip it. This year and years to come, I will make it my own goal to not forget this great holiday! Every year we go around the table sharing what we are thankful for. I've really been trying to think of a good one. It seems that every year the same things get said. I guess that means that we are truly grateful for those things. What other traditions do you have for Thanksgiving? Wanna give me some ideas so I can start some new ones? If so leave me a comment.
We FINALLY got our family pictures! We have imported them on our computer so I'll be posting some. I've promised lots of people for Grace's 6th month, Halloween costume, "Model", and family pictures. So this one will be LONG but fun to look at! Hope you enjoy!
Oh, by the way Grace has her second tooth in! It is on the bottom right by her first one! Exciting! Anyway, without further delay...PICTURES!!

Teeth, Goal Weight and Duke!

I know, very strange title but so much has happened these last few days! We'll start with the most exciting news of all! Grace has gotten her first tooth in! We are so excited! So all of the drooling, runny nose and crankiness was all because of one little tooth! It is one of the front, bottom teeth (like you really care what tooth it is!). This is how it happened, Saturday morning Aaron was playing with her and he checked to see if there were teeth yet and there was nothing. Then about two hours later, while we were watching conference, Grace was sucking on Aaron's finger, and when he went to pull it out, she chomped down on him a bit. Aaron suddenly lit up and said "that's a tooth...she's got a tooth." Then I inspected it and sure enough, he was right. We're so proud of her!
Now for the other news. Aaron and I have decided that Duke will be living with us again. I have come to grips with Duke's shedding and have let Duke come back home. Aaron is excited and same with Grace. I honestly think it will be a good thing. He is great around Grace and Grace LOVES him! Every time she looks at Duke she giggles. She loves it when he gives her "little" kisses. We will have to take some video of them "playing" together and post it. It is more like Grace torturing Duke and Duke taking it or sniffing her, it's entertaining.
Now for the last of the news I have. For the past six months (as soon as Grace was born) I have been trying to lose weight. I have now gotten down to my goal weight! I am proud to announce that I weigh 130 lbs! I am proud of myself and I don't care if everyone in the world knows how much I weigh! Now the key is to keep it off.
Other than that there isn't anything new here. Just trying to stay caught up on things. I hope this brings you into our world just a bit. Really our lives aren't this entertaining!
Oh, one little note, Aaron was going to post a video of Grace bouncing up and down in her bouncy chair but we can't download the video with Vista so we are in the process of figuring out a solution. We apologize for the this let down!
