The last time....

Last Sunday Ben, Grace and I had a wonderful day of lasts..... My whole day was spent thinking, "this is the last time we'll do this with Grace alone" "or after today Grace won't be the only child anymore". It was a tiny bit bittersweet but we had a wonderful day showering her with attention. In the morning we decided to go for a walk (to try to induce labor of course) We made our winding way through the neighborhood and ended up at the park. Ben and Grace had a wonderful time running around the playground which we had completely to ourselves.

Going down the slides was the favorite. Ben barely made it through.
Later that day I sent Ben and Grace out back to play. Grace ended up in the sandbox, and Ben helped bury her.
She loved playing in the sand of course, but didn't like the bath afterwards quite as much.
We had a yummy dinner and lots of treats and a movie. It really was such a fun day and Grace was such a sweetheart.
And such a great big sister. She is always wanting to hold the baby and is constantly petting his head saying "it's okay baby" even if he's quietly sleeping.

I've found myself losing patience with her a bit more since we've been home from the hospital, I've been praying a lot for help on that, but Grace I just want you to know I love you and you will always be my little Princess!
