September 6, 2010

We've had a good Labor Day weekend. Grace went to her best friend Madalyn's house on Saturday for most of the afternoon. Grace and Madalyn spent a year together in preschool and have everything in common, and this summer they started having regular play-dates at each other's house. They're going to different schools now for Kindergarten, but hopefully they'll continue to stay friends.

Sunday we went to Breda for the baptism of Grace's cousin Sophia, then we headed up to Okoboji to go boating with her Grandpa and Grandma Nelson. We lucked out with the weather and had a great time--and both Grace and Claire had their first experiences at the Barefoot Bar. We stayed in a hotel up their last night and just got back to town a little while ago.

Kindergarten continues to go really well for Grace. She loves every part of it and talks about a number of friends.

Can't remember if I put this in our last post, but Grace got to meet Kirk Hinrich last Monday. She didn't think it was a big deal until she got to the event and saw all the people and cameras, then I think she felt pretty special. He autographed a T-shirt for her, but the funny thing is that at this point in her life an autograph from a Briar Cliff basketball player would probably mean more to her.
