Enjoying home

We have been in the 80's and 90's for a week or so and have been enjoying the nice weather.

Grant loves riding his bike.  Gracie will settle for riding on Mommy's bike but tries to hop on Grant's every chance she gets (even though she can't ride it).



Given the hot days, the kids have been enjoying playing in a little blow-up pool.  Here are some pics of them having fun in the backyard.




 




One nice thing about the 'burbs is that we can walk to the playground whenever we want.  We have been spending our fair share of time there.  Gracie will climb up and go down the big slides by herself!  We spot her but she has no fear.  She is saying a few words these days (e.g., lily, cup, book).  She isn't a complete cuddle bug but will snuggle and kiss when she wants to.  She loves to steal her brothers "special things" to get him all upset (his little blanket and teddy bear).  Grant can be really cute with her, calling her his "cutie Gracie" sometimes and also is frequently in a timeout for being rough with her.  She is a tough bugger though and rarely cries or fusses about it.

Of course we have been spending lots of time playing and cuddling in the house.

HANG ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are these TWO?? ?
They look so insanely big!!! My goodness, I feel like Grace is catching Sophia (not that that is saying much;)
Seriously, tomorrow morning can't come soon enough. We have missed this two so much.

After Luke's comments yesterday, I thought we should check out the blog! SO happy we did :) I'm glad you're enjoying all that Naperville has to offer....but get back here before these two cuties get any bigger!!!!

Oh, & Luke's comments regarding the blog are even more priceless. Upon seeing Gracie standing and walking all around, he says "Seriously, Gracie??!!" and then adds, "I wish I was Grant." When I asked why: "so that I could live with Gracie!"

Missing each of you so much and sending all our love!
