...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

This past weekend, we had a baby shower at our house for one of the best couples ever. Kasie and Jeremy are expecting a little boy in just ten weeks!

Last year on Mother's Day, Charley was twelve days old. Our usual Mother's Day tradition of walking around Art Fest on Water Street wasn't going to happen, so we decided to spend the day at home instead. This year, we made sure to get back to the usual routine. We invited Kim and Elijah to come with us, so we could get some time in with her for Mother's Day as well. We headed down there Sunday morning after our usual Coffee Cup breakfast. I was surprised that it was much smaller than usual, but we still had fun despite the blazing heat . Grace loved watching these beautiful wind chimes twirl around. Charley was interested in some ladybug sculptures and shared Auntie's lemonade. We got snow cones and made our way to the indoor portion quickly. It was so super hot! Papa Rick even came, so of course Gracie got spoiled. One of my favorite parts every year is the artists drawing such detailed pictures with ch...
