Welcome, Arianna Elizabeth

Welcome to the world, Arianna Elizabeth Wilson. Born February 27th, 2012 at 7:45 AM. 6 pounds 2 ounces, 18 inches.  

We drove all the way down to New Harmony, IN to meet this beautiful baby girl. The Indiana and Illinois tornados didn't stop us. 

It was such a nice relaxing weekend with great friends. We cannot wait until next time when we can get both girls together. Grace, you had such a great time with the Nierengartens while we were gone for 2 nights. 

music class

Grace, you have been loving your Monday morning music classes with your friend, Devon.

Disney Live

Dear Grace,
Thanks to Miss Rachel, you had your first Disney experience. The three of us went to the Disney Live show. You weren't too sure about the evil Queen in Snow White. You couldn't' settle down. You kept switching from Daddy's lap to mine. Once Cinderella took the stage you sat back and relaxed. Beaty and the Beast kept your attention too. It just made us THAT much more excited for Disney World next month. You immediately fell asleep once we began our ride home. 


xoxo, Mommy 

Dear Grace, 


A couple Sundays ago, both of your grandmothers came into the city for a girls' lunch and a shopping trip for your Easter dress. I'm not sure who had more fun. You or them. :)


Love, Mommy 

We have your dress. Now we just need a light sweater and white sandals. 

birthday celebration

Dear Grace,
We went over to the O'Connor's house Thursday for a birthday celebration, family time and a visit with cousin, Brittany before she goes back to Ball State. Happy birthday, Uncle Chuck! Thanks for having us over for pizza and cake. 
Love, Mommy 


Uncle Chuck became your buddy real quick once he invited you to open presents with him. 

We need to remember that you're more excited about what gifts are wrapped in than whatever we can put inside. 

Cousin Brittany shared her baby doll with you and you couldn't give her enough kisses. 

a day at the park

Dear Grace,
The weather has been unseasonably warm lately, which means time to play outside. We have a great kid's park just around the corner from our place. The first time you and I went, you were so excited you just walked around in a little circle the second I put you down. We just had to go back with Daddy. 
Love, Mommy

You're not sure what to think of the swings yet, but you sure do love your time with your Daddy.

Favorite Spaces

Grace and Mia can't seem to get enough of each other. This has been Grace's favorite spot when visiting Grandma and Papa.
