Smell Like A Cracker

Dearest Blessings~

Today is (Great) Aunt Beth's birthday!  We called her and left a message.  We sang happy birthday to her on her cell phone.  :-)  Did I ever tell you how she bet daddy and I to skip down the aisle after we got married?  Well, she did .... and we did!  Ha!  People still talk about that and how we skipped down the aisle!  ;-)

Grace, you woke up a little early this morning.  I was nursing you at 5:45am.  What's up with the earlier wake up call then yesterday?  :-P

Joshua, guess what .... you stood on the scale earlier and it read 24.5 pounds!  Whoa!  You're getting huge!  ;-)

We had deer in our backyard this morning.  They're so pretty!  You two helped us sweep and vacuum the downstairs after breakfast.  Also, we did a lot of laundry today!  Grace, I had to give you a bath this morning after your snack time.  You smelled like your 'crunchie' crackers!  Plus, you had them all in your hair!  You love those things!

This afternoon we had some visitors.  We saw some good friends .... Harpreet and Om.  Harpreet and I went to dental school together.  She and Om have been married for 5 years now.  :-)  Harpreet went to our wedding, but Om was still in graduate school in Arizona and couldn't make it.  So, he and daddy met for the first time today!  Joshua, you've met Harpreet before.  This was Grace's first time meeting Harpreet and Om.  We all got to visit for a few hours.  And, they brought us brownies.  Joshua, you started to get fussy since you were getting tired and fought a nap.

I eventually got Joshua down for a nap by 4pm.  Then, I nursed Grace.  She played around for a little bit until Joshua woke up a little after 5pm.

We had a pretty relaxing evening.  There was another UNC basketball game on so we watched it.  We won!  Woo hoo!  Oh, you two helped wrap Uncle Brennan's birthday gift.  We're going out to celebrate tomorrow night.  :-)

Sleep tight you two!

I love you both so much!
