Grandma's 99th Birthday

We took our first road trip today to Grandma and Grandpa Swaar's house for Grandma Wharram's 99th birthday! We got great news on the way there...Grace's urine and blood tests looked "good." They didn't get the chest x-ray results back, but so far her health report is positive.

Grace just made herself at home, looking in every room and going up and down the stairs to the basement. Grandma Wharram loved her, but kept calling her the little boy. Grace loved Grandma's meatloaf and kept getting another piece and another. I can't figure out how she can possibly be so small with the way she eats all the time.

Grace also loved Paige and Mark. Poor Mark was so sweet. Grace kept kissing him and he just sat there and took it. He didn't know what to do when she told him that she loved him. Paige rolled a ball with her and you could tell she really wanted to pick her up, but she didn't. Maybe next time...I think Grace has really missed being around other children. Mark is only 8 months older than she is, but he is much bigger and more mature. She was playing hide and seek with her hands over her face and Mark was designing a light bright picture using a pattern. Wow! Still it was amazing how she just made herself at home. She went up and down the stairs by herself and explored their entire house without worrying about where Mommy was all the time. I think she is starting to understand that we aren't going anywhere without her.
