The who with the what now?!?!? That's so exciting! I had no idea.

She does an awful lot of vocalizing. I understand her the best and it's like dealing with a kid who is learning to speak, but with a better vocabulary. We were walking through our little town today (from the bookstore to the coffee shop) and the decorations on the trees lit up. She said, "Orange lights! Pumpkins!" She loves communicating.

She can also sing some of the imperial march. It's pretty quiet, but totally adorable.

yeah they do something TB vaccine-like in Ethiopia too. mac tests almost positive. He will probably have to get a chest x-ray this next time.

also? GO GRACE!!!!!

Oh, wait, is that True Orange orange flavored fizzy water? Did you get the True Orange and True Lime and are they as awesome as the True Lemon? I need to know! I saw a lemonade version, but thought I wouldn't like it, because I don't need any sweet in my water, just acid.

Kat,

that is really awesome.

Go Grace! I just told the family and they were all so happy to hear that. Grace is totally my hero.

I really love being the friend of the family person

I really love that you get to be a friend of a the family! I think her first year, she really needed that and now she has found her groove.

I need to send Des a something. I sent her sister Danielle granola but Desiree is trying to lose weight. Maybe just an amazon gift card?

Other things Grace can do now. Go up steps without holding a hand or the railing. Drinking through a straw (she loves the lime refreshers from Starbucks). Writing her name.

Yay Grace!

ita, WRT to the TB vaccine. I do know they have one but I forgot about it. Our daycare person used to have to get chest xrays all the time and she grew up in England.

Yeah, she's definitely settled in. And she's doing great with the weight loss thing! She's working really hard.

Send Hawaii food something! I know there's stuff you can get that she can't in Flagstaff.
