Teething!!!

No one talks about the getting the teeth part! Gracyn is getting 4 teeth at once and it has NOT been fun. She has been consistently running a fever of 103 degrees and is not sleeping well. She missed school Thursday and Friday but is feeling much better today. We actually ventured out of the house today, and as you can see.......the fresh air did wonders!

He's In!!!

After months of anticipation, Luke heard from Florida Atlantic University this weekend that he has been officially admitted into the Ph.D Psychology program!!! He has worked so hard for this spot and we could not be more excited an proud of him. He will be specializing in Social/Personality Psychology. For more information on the program, check out the website: http://www.psy.fau.edu/research/#Social_Personality_Psychology. What does that mean for the Schipper household??? At least two more years as residents of sunny south Florida and lots and lots of intellectual conversations. Hey, I got my undergraduate degree in Psychology too! Classes start up in August. Go OWLS!!!!!

While Luke slept in from his late night celebration, Gracyn and I headed to the beach to watch the sunrise! The weather was absolutely beautiful this weekend. On Saturday we went to play at the park where Gracyn insisted on sharing her cheerios with some big turkey ducks!

Spring Fling

Gracyn's school through their annual Spring Fling family event on Wednesday. The festivities included a petting zoo, egg hunt, bird show, bubble fun, and art & crafts. Gracie made her very own bird feeder from lard and bird seed. Yum yum! She also attempted a pin-wheel but was unsuccessful. She got the biggest kick out of the petting zoo as she bounced from cage to cage.

Uncle Dan - Spring Break '08

Uncle Dan came out to visit us for Spring Break! Luke and Gracyn anxiously greeted Dan at the airport. It was so nice to spend time with him. We went down to the Miami Sea Aquarium on Saturday and had a blast. Gracyn and Dan loved the dolphins! We also took a trip to the beach, played at the park , watched a lot of college basketball, and took a small road trip up A1A.

This was also a very big week for Gracyn. She has transitioned into the Toddler room at school and LOVES it. It really is amazing how quickly she is learning new things. She is starting to say some more words. Her favorite is Moo, which actually sounds like Woo, and ball. She is completely fascinated with her and other's belly buttons. It's so cute to see her lift up her shirt and point to it when you ask her where her belly button is. Check out the slideshow below!
