A note from Grace

There have been a few questions about my experience on our big trip. I've mostly had a really good time. I've been tired and less agreeable than usual but that's getting better as I get over jetlag and adjust to the new time zone. It's like having one huge yard to play in, with a great sandbox and swingset that I've already spent hours playing in. It's a good thing mom brought a bunch of clothes for me. I'm having so much fun and get so dirty that I get to wear 2-3 different outfits each day! There are so many things to explore here! Unfortunately I've had a few time outs because Mommy doesn't seem to think I should explore out of her sight. Silly Mommy, doesn't she know that I'm just checking things out?

The most frustrating this here is that everyone wants to touch my face or pet my hair. And most of them don't look at all like Mommy and Daddy. I find this extremely annoying and either bury my face in mommy's shoulder or try to slap or kick them away. Mommy doesn't seem to approve of this, but it's the only way I know how to get them to leave me alone. I'm used to a lot of attention, but not this kind.

O sweet Grace. We love you and miss you so, much.
Honey you need to listen to mommy at all times. It's her job to keep you safe sweet girl. Auntie does the same thing with your two cousins. And I would do the same if I was with you sweetie.

You just have fun but listen to mommy too.

Hope to see you soon after you get back from your big trip.

We love you so, much and miss you too.

Later!
Love,
Sarah,kailee and Bethany

Sweet Grace, I'm sure that's challenging, and I'm sure all that extra attention will take some getting used to! God is with you and with your parents. We're praying for you!
