Moving on up

So last post was about us living in the hotel and hotel life.  This post is from the time we moved in to right before our 1st visitors arrived.

Here is what we were up to for a month and a half...
1. Playing with lots of toys...Cars matching game, Sorry, miniature figurines, coloring books, Legos, and other items that she can't live without.

2. Playing outside when I'm feeling good.  We have been to the beach many times, but I always forget my camera, so I don't have much proof of that.  But Gracie loves the ocean and playing in the sand.  She gets so excited when we go!

3. Went bowling at the nearby bowling alley.  Gracie loved it and by the end was carrying her own ball.  This made us nervous but it was so cute!

Check out her bowling shoes :)  I wanted to take them home, but I know karma would come back and haunt me.

4. Here are some of the mini figurines she loves to play with.  These are her Cars ones but she also has Toy Story figurines.

5. Another thing I don't have proof of is our playdates.  I've mentioned in previous posts about the great women/moms I've met out here, and we love to get together with them and play.  Gracie is making some good friends and getting back into the swing of things like sharing.  That is a tough concept for little squirts like her.  We've gone to the beach, to the pool and to one of the mom's house to play.  They are a great group of women and kids, and I'm so blessed to have met them.

So life will only get busier when I start feeling better.  I hate being trapped in the house when I'd rather have Gracie out playing with other kiddos.  Plus, I love the adult interaction.  You can only handle so many conversations about Cars, Toy Story, and potty training.  I'm slowing starting to feel better but it really takes it toll on what we do most days.  So I cannot wait for normallacy to come back into my life.  Gracie can't wait either.

Next post will be all about Pam and Rose and their first time in Hawaii.  Not sure when I will get to that as our 2nd pair of visitors will be arriving tomorrow!  We love having visitors and hope more of you can come out as it makes our time here that much more fun and worth it!
