Chilaxing Day!

Grace and I had an awesome time this past Sunday.  We started the day off with baking cookies from her fairy cookie book that her Aunt Katy got her.  Grace loves to read this book at night, and we go through each recipe and I call out the ingredients and she said "Yep, we have that!", or "We need to buy that!".  She reminds me so much of her Aunt Katy.  I mean, who else likes to leisurely read cookbooks???  Okay, probably shouldn't have asked that question.....  Here is a picture of the book:

And here are the fairy cupcakes that Grace made!  She measured all the ingredients, stirred everything up, put them in the baking cups.  She also made the icing from scratch as well, and put the icing and sprinkles on the cupcakes all by herself!  Here is a picture of the result:

We have already eaten the cupcakes and the were delectable!

We also went to a few stores to look for a swim cap so that Grace can run through the sprinklers at daycare.  The reason that she needs the swim cap is because she is still healing from her ear surgery.  We finally found a pretty pink cap and she wanted to put it on right away:

Isn't she the cutest child ever??? YES!!!!

Ohhh, and you say you like her outfit??? Well, her very talented and beautiful mother made that for her!  I made her pose for a few:

Basically, the whole day we just spent hanging out just the two of us and it was the best day I have had in a long time.  I cannot wait to spend many, many more days like this one!

Here are a few more pictures of our day:

 

Grace is my heart

Hello all, hope everyone is well.  Just a real quick story today.  Last night Grace and I were reading stories and getting ready to go to sleep.  As I was about to turn the light off Grace said to me, "Dad, I love you so much, you are the best dad in the world."  Oh, my heart dropped.  I love that girl more than anything in this world!!  Grace, you are the light of my life.  Without you I am lost.  No matter what happens I will be here for you. I know your mother feels the same way.  We are both on the Grace Anne-Marie Robinson Team!!!!  And always will be!!!!  We have got your back, sweetheart.  You are growing and learning so much, and getting so big.  I have said it before, but it is so exciting.  I'm so happy to be your daddy, and be a part of your life.  Thank you.  I also thank God for you.  He blessed your mother and I with you.  We are more than we ever would have been because of you.  Love you, Grace.

Gracie Girl

Hello all, it has been a while. Glad to be back writing more about the amazing Grace!!!!! :-) All is wonderful on the Grace front!!! She is growing and learning so much. Every day there is something new.

This past weekend Grace and I went and got her nails done. :-) She chose to have them painted pink. She is all girl. I think I may be in trouble. :-) No, but I am going to have my hands full. Getting the nails done was a lot of fun. Grace was a very good girl while they were being painted and drying. After that we went over to a playground in the local mall. Grace saw some girls she goes to daycare with, and they all had a lot of fun. When we were leaving we saw one of those photo booths, so Grace and I took some pics. I'll try to get the photos uploaded cause they are really cute. :-) After the mall we went home, had lunch, and played. Grace had a full day and it was a lot of fun.

A few weeks ago I took Grace to a friend’s birthday party. I really enjoyed being there. When I drop Grace off at daycare or pick her up I don't really get to see her interact with her friends. At the party I got to sit back and observe her and her friends. It was really cute. At one point they were playing hide and seek. Grace was seeking. She counted and then went searching for her friends. Oh yeah, there were about 4 children hiding (all in the same place) and they weren’t really hidden at all. I found that really amusing. So Grace started searching and saw them and they saw her. At this point they all started running around and laughing hysterically. When I saw this I almost started laughing hysterically. :) It was really cute. The party also had pony rides. Grace just loved that. I may have to buy a pony soon.

This morning was a big morning. Grace went to the dentist recently and found out she had a cavity. :( So this morning she got it filled. Grace was such a good patient. She listened to the dentist and didn’t move around a bunch. I think she may have been a little scared, but she did so good. I was a little worried beforehand, because I thought they were going to give Grace laughing gas to calm her, and I wasn’t sure how she would react. But Grace didn’t need anything. She sat back and let the dentist do her work.

Grace, you are doing so well, and your Mom and I are so happy. You bless our lives everyday. We will always be here for you. You can count on that. Good, bad, happy or sad, your Mom and I will always love you. Always remember that.

The many faces of Grace

Merry Christmas Y'all!

Grace asked for Dora and Boots, and some chapstick!  

Weekend at Me'me's

Grace spent this last weekend at her Me'me's house with her cousins, Arianna and Landon. She had a ball!!!!! Well, let me back up. Friday I took the day off to take Grace to a couple doctor appointments. She had to get her ears checked by the ENT doc and she had her three-year check up. The ENT check up went okay. One of Grace's ears still has a hole in it from the tube. So Mom and I are somewhat concerned about that. The doctor basically said all we can do right now is play it by ear, no pun intended. Hopefully it will heal up and Grace will be good to go. If not, then we will have to cross that bridge when it comes. I am happy to say the three-year check up went well. Grace got a few shots, but she took'em like a champ. Grace, don't worry, there will be no more shots until the four-year check up.

Anyway, after the appointments Grace and I drove down to Spartanburg to see Me'me' and Pe'pe'. That evening Me'me' took Grace, and went and picked up Arianna and Landon. Everyone had a good evening, and Arianna even helped me put Grace to bed. The next day was a lot of fun. The weather was decent, so the kids, including the neighbor Taylor, and I could play outside. Well Grace didn't stop the whole day. Whether we were playing hide and seek, tag, or just taking a walk she was on the move. That night after supper Grace, Landon, and Taylor sat down to watch a movie. Grace made it about half way through then it was lights out. :)

Sunday we hung out for a good part of the day. It was pretty chill. The kids played upstairs. I went up to check on them at one point. It was Grace, Arianna, and Taylor. I walked up and asked how everything was going. The only one that even remotely acknowledged me was the one I have no relation to at all. :) Grace and Arianna just kept playing. Taylor said were fine and that was it. I found that amusing. :)

So after all that we came home and Grace was happy to see her Mommy. Unfortunately, I did not get any pics, but I'm sure Mom will post some updated photos sooner than later.

Grace, Daddy and Mommy love you very much. You are a wonderful little girl, and you are growing up so well. What are you, but Mommy's and my reflection. We will always be here for you completely. Never forget that. You have blessed our lives, and we will do whatever we have to bless your life. Love you forever.

Daddy
