Some BIG Events at the Grimmett House

We have achieved a few milestones in the last few days!!! I attended my last class EVER!!! This has been a day that I have been looking forward to for a long time because I have dragged out my graduation from last Winter (1 whole year!!!) I also gave my last class presentation. I had to make a religious item for our home. I decided to make a scrapbook/remembrance book about my dad, so Maisey will know her Grandpa. It turned out excellent, and Maisey LOVES to look at the pictures. I included some advice that he has given us, some excerpts from his talks, and some of his journal entries. I hope it will be a precious gift for Maisey.
Mais absolutely loves looking at this book. In this picture she is looking at pictures of Grandpa and Grandma but her favorite page is the page of just her and Grandpa! She kicks her legs and squeals and gets SO excited. I love it!

This is the cover of the book.

These are some pictures from the funeral. I hope Mais will treasure this book.


So... Another BIG event, I got out an outfit that Grandma Grimmett gave Maisey. It had a clip that came with it, so I decided to try it out in her hair. It looked so dang cute!!!

Also. . . do you see that bookshelf behind Mais? Yeah, that is all packed up now. I spent all day today packing our house. I got a lot done.

The reason I got so much done was because Shaun took Maisey on their first Daddy-Daughter date. He took her to the Blue and White football game today. This was Maisey's first adventure with out her Mommy. I was sad, but I was able to get so much packed! Shaun came back and reported the date a success (and believe me, I asked for all the details!). He said that she loved waving to all of the people and as they were walking into the stadium, she was waving to all of the cars.

Maisey is sporting her new hat from Easter. It did its job by keeping the sun out of her face.

A couple other things...

The Office was a little disappointing. There were a few funny parts, but it was incredibly awkward in most parts. Michael and Jan are a very dysfunctional couple. The episode seemed incredibly short. 1 1/2 thumbs down.

As long as we are talking about Steve Carell, we rented Dan in Real Life tonight. Another big disappointment. Very slow and predictable. We have heard so many good things about it, so I was so excited to watch it. Definitely not even worth renting.

This week, we have been putting Maisey to bed awake, and letting her cry to sleep. I am SO happy to report that it is going amazingly well. She only cries for like 2 minutes (if even) and then she is out. We have been putting her to bed around 10 pm and she will wake up usually around 9 am the next morning. Why didn't we start this sooner???
