Gracie's School

I couldn't be happier with Gracie's school! We waited for 6 months to get in last year but now we are all set. She has the best teachers this year and can't wait to go to school in the mornings. She talks about all her friends constantly too. To our amazement right before Christmas she came home spelling her name. Caroline will join her one day a week next year. Gracie comes home with the awesome art projects every time and loves to paint the most. Hopefully she will take after Bebe! She also loves Ms. Kari's music class and comes home singing all sorts of songs. Some days she even comes home with pictures of what they did that day. I guess they have a photo printer at school and her teachers are really good about sending pictures home. Here are a few pictures from her March activities at school.

Olympics day at school. Gracie loved getting the egg in the bucket.

They were studying "God made the sun" so they all got sunglasses and went to look at the sun.

Quick Trip to Houston

We took a quick trip to Houston last week so I could go to Dr. Brown. We had a great time as usual. On Wednesday night we had a family dinner and it was so weird because it was just the 5 original Mraz's. We haven't had a dinner like that for over 5 years. It was fun reliving old times. The girls and I went to dinner the next night with Kirsten and Leigh and had a blast. Gram and Pops came by too. On the way home we drove home a friend's daughter so I got a glimpse of what it would be like to have 3 kiddos. I am not ready for that quite yet!

Great Gram gave Gracie Peter Rabbit and she wanted to read it all day!

The Girls in March

We have had a very busy month this month. Caroline went in for her 4 month check up and is all of 11 pounds. We are headed back this week to check on her weight gain because she will only eat 2 oz at a time since starting bottles. Gracie and Caroline are really starting to "play". Gracie is the best at making her laugh and Caroline is soaking up every minute of sister time she can. Gracie is still a great helper and can even hold her bottle for her. Caroline continues to be a easy baby and smiles all the time. Two girls are so much fun!!!!

She is so independent she doesn't want us to help her at all. Welcome 2's...

Gracie loves to play dress up and twirl

She loves her silver rattle!

Caroline loves being on her tummy!

Caroline loves to stick out her tongue lately. We wonder if she is working on a tooth?

Vail

Tyler and I snuck off to Vail a few weeks ago for some R&R. We had a "reunion" ski trip from college plus a few new people. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed catching with everyone. It was a fun group and we enjoyed getting away. I can't believe it, but I didn't take a single picture while we were there. It was nice to not have to pile the kids in and out of the car, go to adult restaurants and most importantly sleep through the entire night. (yes Caroline has stopped making it through the night since starting formula.) KayKay and Papa came to Dallas to keep the girls while we were gone. It was so nice to have them in Dallas so Gracie didn't have to miss school or Little Gym. They had so much fun. My mom had to go to Mom's weekend at Tech so my Dad kept them all by himself for the entire weekend. I called him Saturday morning to check on how his first night was and to my disbelief he was at the Ft. Worth Zoo with them. Gracie and Caroline had a wonderful time. Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping them!
