Grace and the Family visit Nocal

The family took off for a long weekend in November to visit

our family and friends in Northern California. Linda and Phill put us up. (Thanks Nelson for giving up your room.) Grace got to meet her new cousin Jeremiah David Buck. We all went to the Mandarin Orange festival in Auburn were Grace wanted to continuously crawl down this grassy knoll. Also, we drove on Saturday to Petaluma to watch Roberto ref a college Rugby game and congrats him and Tenysa on their coming child.

We all got sick on Saturday night ... I blame it on swamp gas.

The drive home was almost unbearable.

Grace celebrates Halloween

The entire family dressed in OU garb and went "trick or treatin" in downtown Monrovia. Of course, Grace could not depart on this spooky day without her lovable Mr. Rat (a $3 IKEA purchase that now goes everywhere with her).

She is too young to be scared by anything, but was amazed at all the costumes. She sat with us while handing out Candy. Her uncle Justin stopped by to partake in the festivities.

All in all a goo day. (Plus mom and dad got to eat all the candy she got from her trick or treatin excursion.)

Grace watches OU play Texas

Grace wore her OU chearleader outfit, which didn't seem to help OU is the second half.

Also, she is standing and trying to walk. She pulls herself up and then shuffles using some obstacle to balance.

Grace visits her great aunt Sarah

Riding horses, playing with dogs, pretty much a perfect day for our little tike.

Grandma Joan and Granpa Ed come for a visit

So, before on Sunday Oct 5, we went to eat at Phillipes in downtown Los Angeles ... the creator of the French Dip. (On Monday the 6th, Phillipe's celebrated its 100th anniversary ... all sandwiches would be 10 cents.) Afterwards, we visited the Los Angeles downtown Library.

Grace turns 10 Months

Enough said!

Also, her vitals at 10 months:

She is 70% percentile for height and weight.

She got another booster shot and we'll be back to see Dr. Yim at the end of October.
