Swingin' in the Breeze

We went up to the Rasmusons' cabin for the weekend. Here, Grace and her cousin, Chase are swinging with Aunt Tiffany. Ahh, the little pleasures of life. Swings make everyone happy.

Recital

We went to Gramma Marilyn's house one day and Grace dazzled us on the piano.
What "graceful" little fingers! (I definitely intended that pun.)
Then I noticed her reflection in the piano. It looks like she has a tiny set of wings on her back. Ahhh. Little angel.

Townhome Toddlers

William Robison, Brooklyn Trussell, and Grace Rasmuson: growing up together in the same neighborhood. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to live close to your family. Grace gets to see her cousins nearly every day. We all go for early morning walks several times a week. And if any of us needs a babysitter, no problem.

Beautiful Girl

Some days it just blows me away how beautiful Grace is. My sweet little angel.

The Joy of Cake

William had his first birthday yesterday. His party was great. His cake was even better. His mom, Tasha, made it. Just a simple white cake with a killer frosting on it. It's got those colorful, waxy beads mixed in it. Dang that stuff is good!
To me, William's expression says, "That was great. The sugar rush should be kicking in right about now."

Blue Eyes

Gotta love the bright blue eyes. Sometimes when I look at her, I feel like she is trying to hypnotize me. Mostly, it works. I'm a huge push-over. But wouldn't you be too? I mean, look at that face! I can't say "no" to that face!

Monkey Jumping on the Bed

My brother Daniel, his wife Tasha, and baby William recently moved into our neighborhood. Grace and I were visiting the other day and Grace had some fun juming on their bed.
