Emma, Grady and I stayed home from church one week and we just really really enjoyed the morning together. Grady is learning how to PLAY---not something that is normal for him. Emma is a treasure, she does an awesome job with Grady and gets a kick out of every new and different thing that she can experience with her brother. It's fun to watch.
Griff takes any opportunity he can to have a turn at being the older sibling "in charge." It's hard to do with two big sisters who think they are the moms, but Griff is working his way in there. :)
And trips around the circle with the neighborhood kids is the best form of entertainment for the week. :)
We loved loved loved a quick two hour visit from the Mitchells.
I wish I had more pictures of what it was like going to the JCC with all 4 kids for swim lessons. But, that would have been impossible since I was a crazy woman. Grady has no fear of the water...he adores it...and he won't get out of it. The other three kids were in overlapping lessons and having a ball. Summer isn't summer if we don't have days and days at the JCC pool. Loved it. But no time for pictures! ha!
Date with Griff--we devoured our ice cream and definitely needed this time together. It hasn't been easy for this little dude, now having to share his mom with a younger and more needy munchkin. He will get there and life will feel normal to him again soon. But in the meantime, we will have ice cream!
And a date with Emma was also a must. Chandler cafe and buckeyes and shopping downtown Sylvania---yes please. I can't get enough time with this gem.
