routines

after many weeks of candice being on maternity leave we are back in our routine again. gracie is so lucky to have levi and piper come over every other week to play all day. levi and gracie think they are siblings they love each other and fight with each other just like brother and sister. gracie wakes up each morning asking if levi is coming and if i say yes it results in both hands in the air jumping up and down yelling "evi yeah evi!" they are both so patient with waiting for me when i am feeding piper. they love to get right in piper's face and say, "baby baby baby" and kiss her a million times (gracie) and grab her nose (levi).
levi takes his naps in my bed and they thought it would be really fun to take naps together. the first day didn't work out because there was too much excitement about being in a big bed together, but day two was success and i snapped this picture. ahh nap time - definitely a blessing!

4th of July

This year we were in Huntington Beach for the 4th of July. The parade went right in front of the house we rented. For the first hour of the parade Gracie sat quietly and watched, but she broke out and started dancing for the rest of it. The beach was really fun this year. Candice was good about documenting it, at least for the first half of the week - check it out here: http://candicestewart.typepad.com
