5 Miles

Dearest Joshua David and Grace Elizabeth~

Hummm .... just when I thought you two were getting better with your sleeping.  :-P  Grace, you woke up at 2am and Joshua woke up around 4am.  :-P  Oh my!

Joshua, you were a little uncooperative with your breakfast applesauce this morning, but I still managed to get you to eat some.  Grace, you had some strawberry/banana mix.  You both also had goldfish crackers.  :-P

Once breakfast was over, I tried to clean the kitchen as you two played.  We ran the dishes and vacuumed the downstairs.  Then, we had some art time, play time, and music time!  I took photos of you two playing around in the bonus room.

We went downstairs to play by late morning .... you two had lots of crayon time.  By 11:30am, Anna Kearny came over.  She's our new patient coordinator with the Child Development Agency.  We talked for about an hour and she played with you two to get to know you all.  On tuesday, Joshua's going to be evaluated to see where he is on different skill sets.  The CDA will help us with Joshua's speech therapy and what we should do as far as preschool programs when he's a little older.  It sounds promising and I'm excited to see how Joshua benefits from all this.  You two really liked her!  ;-)

Right after, we had some lunch .... Joshua, you finished your yogurt.  :-)

Today was such a gorgeous day!  So, by 2pm the three of us were outside taking a nice walk!  We did our bell tower route of 5 miles.  And, we set a record .... it only took us 1.5 hours!  Ha!  Usually it takes me closer to 1 hour and 45 minutes to walk it while pushing you two (I walk pretty casually so you all can nap).  Everyone had water sippy cups and fell asleep in the stroller.  Joshua, you continued to nap once we were back home.  Grace was awake and playful. 

Grace, as Joshua napped, you correctly pointed to your hair, belly, and nose for me when asked!  And, you lifted your shirt up to show your belly!  It was really cute!  ;-)

Mimi and Grandpa Mike came over for dinner again.  We grilled burgers and had a cake to celebrate Mimi's birthday.  

Tomorrow is Great Grandpa's birthday, so we're heading to Asheboro to see him.  :-)

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
