Boxes, Byes, and Babies

As we're getting ready to move (only 4 days now, aaaaccckkk!) it's starting to really sink in that we're really leaving our neighbors and friends. Our precious, precious older neighbors across the street, "Grandpa" John and "Grandma" Dot, are two in particular that we will greatly miss. They wanted to do something special for Grace before we left, so they took her to experience her first trip to Chuck E. Cheese. The girl was ecstatic from beginning to end, and practically twitching from all the stimulation! The favorite was the ginormous climby slide/tube combo that went up to the ceiling and over some of the games. As you can tell from the giant smiles, the trip was a big hit!







Because a lot of our normal toys are already packed, we are getting more and more creative. Laundry baskets, and of course the always popular cardboard box, are proving to be just as much fun, if not more. Also, I had been saving back a collapsible play tunnel for a rainy day, and let's just say that it was "raining" when I pulled it out.

Lily - 7.5 months, Grace 40 months



Look, I finally got a picture where you can see Lily's two bottom teeth!














Grace has REALLY gotten in to one of her "babies", which she has dubbed "Ella". She reminds us frequently to be quiet because Ella is sleeping, or to watch while Ella eats, walks, etc. Ella goes EVERYWHERE with us, as you can see in the pictures. I thought this shot was really interesting with Grace taking care of Ella in the background.
