Summer Has Begun!

Little Artists
Faith and Gracia wanted to paint on little on this rainy day. Mommy's historically not a fan of messy kid activities, but I was very impressed by how neat these Kindergarten graduates are with their paints now! Faith is Cookie Monster and Gracia is Big Bird.
We are planning on going to "UP" this afternoon. I hear it's good.

Norah wants to STAND!
Norah prefers being on her feet. She is so strong. I thought it was time for a bouncer of some kind. I bought a Johnny Jump Up, but in our old house with wide door frames, it doesn't work. So she has a new barnyard exersaucer. Briefly in it last night, she first enjoyed the girls showing her the toys, but then got spooked. I love baby frowns!

Norah's Bath
She's really enjoying her baths and is getting more active in the water, although gets a little nervous about being cold if I don't keep a warm wet washcloth over her trunk. She loves getting her hair washed (so does Mommy) and is always chipper! The profile photo of her in the tub is so cute! And I snapped one of her in her new robe from Great Grandma GG.

HSM Birthday Party For Friend, JANESSA
I didn't get pictures of the pool party at the Yacht Club. However, Gracia had a scare in the deeper end, requiring a call to Mom and Dad from Janessa's mom. She got out a little too deep, however, Gracia's version is that Faith tried to "drown me." In the end, even though Gracia complained of a residual "sea sick" all night, everything turned out fine and the girls had a great time with great weather. Thanks, Janessa! Happy Birthday!
