Grace
February, 2012.....May, 2012
We didn't get much snow during the winter of 2011-2012, but what we did get was put to good use in making a snowman. Here Grace and
neighbor Natalie Hoerrner show off their creation.
Grace and Lee built a Pinewood Derby Car for the Indian Princesses Nation competition in March of 2012. Grace won Blue ribbons for
1st place in preliminary heats, as well as a trophy for Best Design (Race Car) and a trophy for fastest car in the Dogues Tribe. Way
to go, Grace!
The third grade at Short Pump Elementary School put on a nightime program, showcasing their newly-learned harmonica talents. Called
the Wacky Harmonica Adventure, all the kids and faculty dressed in wacky costumes. Here is Grace and her teacher, Mrs. Hilary Deegan,
prior to the show. For a video, click here!

She got it! Great job, Grace!
Grace ran the Ukrop's 1 mile kids Fun Run, while aunt and uncle Susan and Mike ran the Ukrop's Monument Ave. 10-k. Excellent job,
everyone! April 2012.
Grace made a complete house and grounds, including bedrooms, patios, and kitchen, out of twigs and leaves in the yard---spring of
2012.
