After a long hiatus, the blog is up and running again. Here are some recent pics...

Buffalo Visit/Feb. 2010

My BSS girls..Amy, Joanne, and Lizzy
Grace loved Katie's Barbie house

We had such a great visit with my sister and her family. It was nice to catch up with friends too. The next trip planned is Florida and we can't wait to get away form the snow for a while!

Baby Book

2009-09-29T10:36:00.000-07:00

This video is from July but I thought I would share because she loves this book!

Ring! Ring!

Visit with Grandma and the kids

2009-08-24T10:16:00.000-07:00

Our visit with Grandma Voigt, Andrew, and Katie was wonderful. Grace loves her cousins and we love having them all visit. A few Uno tournaments, ball playing, ice cream, and a trip to the beach was enjoyed by everyone.

Visit with Papa and Nana

2009-08-08T07:36:00.000-07:00

We had a great visit with my parents this past week. Grace had a lot of fun and cuddles and we enjoyed some help around the house. It was great to sit on the porch and just relax with family :)

Hocking Hills

2009-08-05T10:51:00.000-07:00

Trying to get Grace ready for a bath..she wanted to play with Katie :)

It's been a loooong time since we updated our blog. We've been busy swinging through the trees of Hocking Hills! We went to the Liderbach family reunion for a few days in July and had a lot of fun. Grace is chatting away and learning more ways to make us laugh. She recently had minor surgery of tubes in her ears. She seems to be much happier. We're hoping for less ear infections or none at all! We hope everyone is having a good summer...talk to all of you soon.

March of Dimes Walk

2009-05-13T10:16:00.000-07:00

I was able to raise over $200 for the March of Dimes. Thanks to everyone who donated! Grace enjoyed the 4 mi. walk via stroller. One of the stops was the Cleveland Browns stadium. It was a beautiful day.

2009-05-13T10:13:00.000-07:00

We'll be adding new photos soon. Grace has been scooting all around the house. She enjoys standing on the sofa and our laps. Maybe she'll be walking within the next couple of months!

2009-04-07T16:59:00.000-07:00

Grace's first attempt at feeding herself. Now she wants to eat every meal with her own spoon. Check out the Christmas pajamas (thanks Barb) in April--we have snow and it's cold again! These are the only jammies that fit right now for the cold weather.

Cake for Grace

2009-03-26T10:24:00.001-07:00

Grace had fun with her first taste of cake--a preview of what we'll have for her on Saturday. She enjoyed her little party as well as the St. Patrick's Day festivities at my parent's condo. She was bopping along to the music.

We're looking forward to seeing our families this weekend so we'll post more pictures next week.

Florida vacation

2009-03-26T10:13:00.001-07:00

More photos from FL...

2009-03-26T10:07:00.001-07:00

It's been a while since we've added to the blog but we've been busy with Grace and enjoying some time in Florida. We had a wonderful time visiting my parents and swimming at the pool each day.

Floor time

2009-02-08T10:44:00.001-08:00

Grace and Steve enjoyed some play time while I went out for a while. She's not a fan of tummy time and just likes to have her feet on the ground so who knows..she'll probably walk before doing much crawling.

Play time

Steve has taught Grace a new game

Games before bed

2009-01-29T17:15:00.000-08:00

Some snuggles after dinner always make our day!

Christmas 2008

2008-12-29T17:53:00.000-08:00

It's been quite a while since we've added to the blog. Our Facebook addiction took over but now we're back to posting on our blog. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We spent time in Buffalo visiting with family and friends. My parents enjoyed their cuddles with Grace. We rocked it out at Patti and David's house with the kids as we all tried to be rock stars with Guitar Hero World Tour. Grace LOVED being around Andrew and Katie and she's become very chatty!

2008-11-04T16:54:00.000-08:00

Grace just started swim class this past weekend and she loved being in the water. I have my turn next weekend. Steve was brave enough to dunk her first! No problem. I think she'll be a natural swimmer just like her mom ;)

Pumpkin Time

2008-11-04T16:48:00.000-08:00

Our little pumpkin has been very busy these days. We had a lot of fun on Halloween as Grace enjoyed watching the parade of kids go up and down our street. It was no nice outside that everyone sat out on their porches and enjoyed the evening.

Please pass the tissues

2008-10-10T17:00:00.000-07:00

We've
been passing a cold back and forth in our house and hoping to all be
better soon. Grace just had her 6 month check-up with shots. She didn't
cry as long which helped her mommy deal with it. Each day is wonderful
with her in our lives. It's so much fun watching her change right
before our eyes. It's so true how fast time goes by.
Grace is babbling a lot, so we'll have to take bets on what she'll say
first in the next couple of months. I already think she's saying ba ba
for bottle! We'll see...

On the porch...

2008-09-27T19:22:00.001-07:00

The evenings have been beautiful and Grace loves to see what's going on in the neighborhood.

A new tub.. the sink

2008-09-24T12:06:00.000-07:00

Say cheeeeese!

2008-09-21T11:10:00.001-07:00

Enjoy the pictures of our visit to the photography studio. As you can see Grace was enjoyed the first shot! Were were thinking of getting that one as a 13x10 to send to all of our friends,
but chose the ones we thought our parents would like :)

We have a lot of beautiful pictures to choose from...she really did a great job of sitting and smiling!

Shopping Trip

2008-09-02T17:45:00.001-07:00

Grace is now five months old. We can't believe how quickly she's growing! She already has a tooth budding and is chewing on everything. Grace and Mommy are off to Buffalo next week and we know Grandma Voigt can't wait to get her hands on Grace's cheeks. Stay tuned for more pictures and video soon.

Summer Nights

2008-08-19T16:32:00.001-07:00

A great way to spend a Sunday evening is at the beach. We enjoyed watching the sun set and introducing Grace to the waves of Lake Erie. We live close to the water, so it's nice to just drive down the road and enjoy it--plus they have excellent chocolate shakes at the concession stand!

Sleepy morning

2008-08-08T09:52:00.001-07:00

We really enjoy our porch on the weekends. It took Grace and mommy a little longer to wake up that morning, but it was a beautiful day to snuggle outside :)

Thbbbpppppttt!!!!

2008-08-02T08:32:00.000-07:00

As Grace gets older, her vocabulary grows and grows! Witness the new sounds she can make (and the drool she can produce).

The Posse

2008-07-20T11:56:00.001-07:00

We had a great time Saturday night as the Laube family hosted a fabulous party! It was wonderful to enjoy a night with our spouses and share some laughs too! Karen, Ginny, and Michele are friends of mine from the firm--"The Posse." We keep each other laughing. Great party, Mich!

Cincinnati Weekend

2008-07-14T10:43:00.000-07:00

Grace has been busy visiting family these days. We were able to visit the Cincinnati crew for Nick's 1st Birthday. Steve was named the "Baby Whisperer" because he has such a calming way with the babies. It was great to see everyone and especially fun to see Nick enjoy his presents.

Time for bed

Buffalo Weekend

2008-07-07T14:53:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was fun as we visited family and friends in Buffalo. The Fourth of July party was "a blast" and filled with excitement. After Grace had her bottle, she was ready for the beach, but her mother put on the added protective sunscreen finding out later that Grace had an allergic reaction! So, a little drama was mixed in with the party. She was fine and slept through the fireworks as we danced the night away with the receiver hooked on our shirts! We only have a couple of pictures which we'll add soon.

Besides having fun at the beach we enjoyed Barb's 70th Birthday party--a surprise. Grace's mom was stung by a bee too, so we had quite a good time patching ourselves up this weekend. We ended the weekend trip with a steak dinner at Patti and David's house to celebrate Grandpa Voigt's birthday. We'll be on our way to Cincinnati next weekend and look forward to more adventures and more pictures to follow!

I can scoot right off of my mat!

Bath Time

2008-06-28T12:00:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since we've posted on the blog and we're starting to get in trouble with our friends. I'm hoping Michele, Liz, and Mike will see this first!

Grace is now enjoying bath time and I guess her mother is too! If you can hear over my shrills, you'll notice Grace likes to be cuddled. We can't believe how fast she's growing.

2008-06-04T15:52:00.000-07:00

Family Visits

2008-05-28T10:38:00.000-07:00

There was a lot of cuddling for Grace during the weekend!

Baptism Weekend

2008-05-28T10:22:00.000-07:00

Grace's Baptism was this past weekend at our church, St. Mark. She was just beautiful and slept through most of the Mass. We were so happy to have both of our families join in on the celebration.

Time for Smiles

2008-05-20T13:40:00.000-07:00

It's been chilly but nice and sunny in Cleveland today. Grace has been
entertaining me all afternoon with her smiles and laughter. It's
amazing how much she hangs on every word we say--it's wonderful. We're
looking forward to her baptism this coming weekend and we'll have a lot
of family pictures to post on the blog after Sunday.
It's been the house of pain over here due to the flu running through
our house. First Steve, then me. Luckily Grace only had a mild cough.
We're all feeling much better and smiling as much as our sweetie!

2008-05-09T10:45:00.000-07:00

We've been quite busy at the Liderbach house as we're learning the types of things Grace likes and dislikes. Tummy time is fun when daddy is close by, but taking a bath is another story. We're hoping she enjoys it more during the next few months. At the end of a day, sleep is always welcome!

Family Visits!

2008-04-12T13:37:00.000-07:00

Because they hadn't seen Paula and me in a while, the Faturoses and Cincy Liderbachs came in to see us over the past two weekends. Just a happy coincidence that Grace was here, too, I guess...Mike and Betsy, if you read this and have pictures of your own from that weekend, send us some and we can post those, too.

Just a few more, for the heck of it :)

2008-03-31T15:10:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more photos from the hospital. Kudos to Karen Carl for the professional-quality photo of Grace with her eyes open. Thanks!

2008-03-31T06:39:00.000-07:00

Some more pictures and video of the bambino. The video was taken as the nurses were cleaning Grace up and weighing her.

Say hello to Grace Liderbach!

2008-03-31T06:23:00.000-07:00

Good morning and please welcome the newest addition to the Liderbach and Voigt families, Grace Frances Liderbach! As you can see, she didn't inherit her parents' dark hair, but she did inherit their stubbornness, as evidenced by her refusal to come out all the way on Thursday night. They had to go in and get her, but it turns out it was a good thing, as she weighed in at 9 lbs. 14 oz. Yikes! Paula and Grace are both doing fine, and Paula and I have quickly learned the definition of "sleepless nights." Still, we're both thrilled that she's here now and we'll be sure to add more updates to the blog.

Trial run

2008-02-25T06:39:00.000-08:00

Good morning and welcome! Just trying things out. Paula and I wanted to set this site up for friends and family who'd like to keep up with news on the baby (and us, of course). No promises, but we'll try and keep this as up-to-date as possible. Enjoy!
