The weekend

This weekend our Friend Reuben came to visit. We loved having him here.
Reuben is so sweet to read to Gracie and me. He is a pretty smart guy, and knows that reading to us will help us love to read ourselves.
We also got to meet Aunt Catherine and Uncle Brett's new puppy Murphy. I was a little nervous as you can see, but I think I will warm up to him and we can be good friends in the future.
He is so little and cute. He really likes Gracie's dress!

Lazy afternoon fun

Yesterday after naps Mommy let Gracie and Me decorate cookies. I made one for me and one for Daddy.
Gracie just made one for herself. Mostly she just ate the icing. She would put some on the cookie, and then lick it off. She never even took a bite of cookie. When all her icing was gone she handed the clean cookie to Mommy and said "all done."
Here is my cookie for myself. I figured out a way to get the maximum amount of icing and sprinkles on my small cookie. If you put on a layer of icing and then a layer of sprinkles it adds stability, and you can repeat the steps a number of times. I think there are 6-8 layers on my cookie.
Here I am reading to Gracie, or at least telling her about the pictures. She is always saying "read me!" Yesterday after a while I told her "you are making me crazy!" but then I went ahead and did it anyway. She does make me crazy, but she is too cute to say no to.
