So what happens in 9 months?

Wow, so its been almost 9 months since our last post. What has happened in that time frame? Well, alot. We opened our home to Maureen Hsu, an exchange student from Taiwan. She is attending Berkner High school, and has really taught us alot about different cultures, and life with a teenage girl! I think it is a hint at what we will see in about 14 years with Gracie. But Maureen is great, and has tried to teach us Chinese, but Gracie seems to do better than Jen and I. This is Maureen and Gracie, Gracie is wearing her birthday outfit that Maureens parents sent all the way from Taiwan.


So speaking of birthdays, Gracie turned two and had a birthday party that was...memorable. Jen got sick the day before we were going to welcome 20 people to our house. She went to the Dr. and she said that Jen was highly contagious and should not be around anyone. We find this out 2 hours before the party started. So Baba and Maureen and the grandmothers did the best they could in hosting, and we all survived. So then we make it through Halloween...



And Christmas...




And then a few days ago, one of the highlights of the year...Ciaran Like Price joined the family! My brother Mark, and Mary Kate had their first child! He was born 9 lbs 15 oz, and 24 in. long. They made it back to Dallas yesterday and Gracie couldnt wait to meet him...



So those are the highlights. We really apologise for letting this blog get so lax, but there never seems to be enough time in the day to get it done. We will try and do better, but Gracie seems to be gaining steam and we are just trying to keep up!
