Dance Dance Gracilyn

Something Matt put together in about 10 minutes.  Enjoy!

Finding the Groove

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, I suppose. We have been so blessed to have Matt working from home since early May. Today marked the first day of a short TDY and I found it a bit tough to get back in the groove. Silly, huh? Oh well. We made it just fine. I decided to keep the girls busy today to help pass the time. Of course, they both asked for Daddy several times during the day. Love having little ones who admire their Daddy so :)

We started it all by bringing Matt to the airport. For the first time, Madi cried the whole way home; already missing her daddy. After getting home, we rode bikes for a while and played at the park.



Grace wants to ride a big girl bike in the worst way. She admires her big sister!

After the park we went home for some lunch and naps. Madi finished a huge plate of food and was so proud of herself :)



Okay, and a little dance practice, too.

After naps, we had some snacks and snuggled for a bit. Once the bellies were filled, it was back to playtime! We went outside and turned on the sprinklers, filled up the water play table, and pulled out the chalk and bubbles.



My budding gardener took care of the flowers.




It was so fun! We even drew a few of the neighbors out of their houses and got to have an impromptu playdate. After all the messy fun, the girls sure needed a bubble bath!



Dinner time came after bath, and both kiddos were starving. They ate very well tonight. Aren't they just the cutest???







We followed dinner with some block building fun...






And then an episode of Little Einsteins before heading up to bed. They sure look worn out.


Sweet dreams, beautiful girls. We love you!!







And Matt, we hope you have a great week and learn lots of new stuff! We sure miss and love you!!

The Zoo!!

The week before last we got to take a fun trip to the zoo with Grandma! We were so busy having fun, I forgot to take many pictures. But, here are a couple I managed :)



- Here Madi is brushing one of the goats at the petting zoo.

Grace was well behaved and actually stayed put in the stroller most of the time!





Both girls passed out on the drive home. I think we did I great job wearing them out!!

Sisters

These girls just melt my heart every day. Grace and Madilyn are interacting together more and more and it is so fun! I love watching them form a bond that will never cease. It brings new meaning to the quote, "a sister is a forever friend". Love my girls!!

Park Time

One of the things we're blessed with here in Los Angeles is great weather almost every day. This gives us lots of opportunities to play at the park! Now that Grace is getting older, she's really enjoying the playground. She's mastered climbing the equipment and loves the swings. And of course, Madi never turns down a trip to play, even when she's exhausted :)

Madilyn Singing

Madi has been learning lots of songs at school this year and it is so fun to hear her singing them around the house :). She gets pretty shy about doing it on video, but I finally got her to sing a song for everyone to see.

Big girl

I can't believe our BABY is big enough to be using a fork already. Stay little just a bit longer!
