"Well if your not going to believe me then I guess I am not going to do anything until your surprised, huh?" he gave her his half smile puppy dog look and kissed her on the nose.  He grinned to himself about how he can always get one up on her when she wants to get bad.  Then he flips the conversation away from surprises and says, "About Gracie, I usually let her come up with the things she wants to do.  Dolls, dress up, or just slinging her around on my shoulders.  She just likes to hang out with me," he grins at her, "sometimes we sit down with some pop corn and watch a movie she likes."  He enjoyed spending time with Gracie, because with her he felt more apart of Kristin's family then with anyone else; with the exception of Kristin of course.
