Gracyn's 1st Steps!!!

This weekend was full of WALKING ~ Gracyn is officially letting go and is off....with or without us to catch her. We ended the weekend with a bruise on her chin and cheek!

Luke Still Has it in Him!!!

Luke has been playing softball for the last few months, and his team made it to the championship game this morning. Gracyn and I headed to the fields to see her dada hit one out of the park. Not only did he hit it out of the park 5 times, but he also had 2 base hits, 8 INTENTIONAL walks, and a GRANDSLAM to win the championship in a 3 game series. We couldn't be more proud! Who knew that a 30 year old could still hit like that.....I'm sure his body will be paying for it the next week!!!

We also headed to the Everglades yesterday to do a little gator and bird watching. Gracyn loved the big cranes and turtles! She also has become much braver and has made a few attempts to walk on her own. She has been taking 2 to 3 steps and then takes a tumbles.......it's only time! Please see pictures of our weekend below!

Finally....Luke Turns 30!

I am no longer 2 years older, which Luke is not shy about pointing out. We celebrated Luke's BIG 3 0 on Jan. 19th! We had several friends over to BBQ, play wash-shoes, and drink a few beers. As you can see below, Gracyn wanted in on the action!

Luke's 30th Birthday

Welcome to...

The Schipper Family Blog! After living far away from our friends and family, we decided it was time. Since we don't see you very often, we thought we'd share our Florida adventures with you.

On Sunday we took Gracyn to the beach. Sand and babies do not go well together. Needless to say....trying to feed her waffels, keeping the sippy cup sand free, and sunblock in the eyes.....it was a short visit. Unfortunately, Gracyn takes after her mama.....yes, she got a nasty rash from the ocean water. It didn't last long.

Gracyn is not walking YET, but is on the MOVE! She loves to dance and laugh. Her new thing is to point.....at everything in site.
