Fun in the Sun

We had a wonderful time at the beach. Anna Claire keeps asking me when we are going back! During our stay, we played in the ocean and sand, splashed in the pool, and paddled the boat around the bay! We had great weather and lots of delicious seafood!
This past week the girls really enjoyed being around their Gran, Grandaddy, Ki Ki, and Uncle David. On the way home, Anna Claire kept saying I just wanted to spend one more night. She loves all the attention she gets from them. Gracie was also a little more needy this morning. She just doesn't understand why I don't hold her all the time!

Gracie is surprising us with her new tricks lately. She has started clicking her tongue and thinks it is so funny. She also is now smacking when she gives kisses and even blew a kiss for the first time this week! She loves to put on Anna Claire's shoes and pretends to wash and brush her hair. She loves the water and jumps in, goes under, and comes up laughing! She is growing up too fast!!! By the end of the week Anna Claire was also pretty comfortable in the water. She would go anywhere in her ring, and was swimming from the steps a little ways to someone without her ring! She even went under a couple times and didn't totally freak out. Today, her favorite song is Hakuna matata and she is singing it all the time!
On Saturday evening, Kim, David, and I went to Kathy's wedding. She was one of my college roommates. Everything was beautiful, and we had a great time seeing lots of college friends.

Anna Claire

What a busy little girl! She is in school Tuesday and Thursday. On Wednesday she starts the day with playgroup, goes to ballet, tap and acro in the afternoon, and has started mission friends in the evening. She loves singing, dancing, swinging, reading, and dressing up. Her favorite television shows are Dora, Barney, and any Disney Princess. She loves playing with baby dolls. Her favorite games are Candy Land and Memory. She is beginning to be such a great helper. She likes to make her bed, set the table, fold some laundry, and put away dishes. She has the memory of an elephant. She doesn't forget anything, especially promises!

This sweet little girl is trying her best to keep up with her big sister! She doesn't have quite as many activities on her calendar but we are working on that. She does have storytime on Tuesday mornings and playgroup on Wednesday mornings. She is starting to listen to us when we read a book, rather that just turn pages. She is pointing out her different body parts, but gets nose and toes mixed up, and thinks it is so funny. She also loves playing with baby dolls, and is really interested in tickling and kissing real babies. She is saying new things everyday. Just like her sister and daddy she loves music and dancing. Her favorite television shows are Dora and Barney. She loves shoes and tries to put on any she can find. She is also a big helper...She likes to take her diaper to the trash can along with other things. The thing she is most scared of is her shadow.
