Life Goes On

And so do we. We had a lovely, mellow Sunday afternoon, filled with lots of snuggling, a few projects, and dancing barefoot in the dining room. We're loving Renee and Jeremy right now.

Home Alone

That Grace and I had a picnic in the park for supper. Rob was out of town and Caroline was having dinner with friends, so we dined alfresco.

Bowling with paper cups -- good for at least 20 minutes of entertainment.

We went grocery shopping Saturday. That Grace's job is to put up the frozen foods. She takes her work very seriously and does a great job. She's is very intent on making sure all of the frozen food is put away. As for the rain boots -- it actually was raining that day, so very appropriate. Usually she wears them without regard for the weather.

Happy Day!

We went to the park twice on Friday. That Grace is becoming a pro on park etiquette. She understands she has to share and be gentle with her friends. This is our favorite park. It's close to our house, it has a slides, swings, and a water feature. It's mostly shady and it is rarely crowded during the week.

Sliding! We keep a park basket in the car with sand toys, bubbles and sidewalk chalk in it. We have used it a lot this week -- perfect park weather.

That Grace loves to color and write. She also loves her stickers. She sat at the table coloring and saying "happy day, happy day." Oh, that's her bunny harness. We don't use it much as a harness any more but she likes to put on the bunny backpack part and wear it around the house.

Helping

Just being adorable.

Helping Daddy wash his motorcycle.


Helping plant sunflowers.

Spring Time Fun



Last Birthday Post

We had a small party at Grandma's house, mostly for the cousins to get together. That Grace went wild over the monkey cake. Monkeys are her latest obsession and she can usually be found in the company of 2 or 3 of them.

A few friends dropped in for the party.


After-party crash. She never sleeps in the car seat, so this is a testament to how tired she was!
