Birthday Celebration

Dearest Angels~

You all slept in a little which was nice.  I was still awake early, but stayed in bed to relax.  :-)  Grace, you woke up with a crusty nose.  :-P

This morning we did more chores around the house.  We ran more laundry and worked on your clothes more.  We have 0-6 months out for biscuit and we have 6-18 months bagged.  The other sizes are sorted through your dresser.  We still need to find room for these bags of clothes, so I guess we'll have to work on closets too.  :-P  We also organized the blankets stored on the changing table. 

You two had a good snack time.  Joshua, you had applesauce and crackers.  Grace, you had yogurt and crackers.  Then, we went for a family walk.  We went down the greenway behind the house for a change.  You two were in the wagon and Grace started to doze off briefly.  We walked for 55 minutes and then we were home for lunch.   

Grandpa Jim, Gigi, and Uncle James came over this afternoon around 3pm.  We celebrated Grandpa Jim's birthday.  He did a half ironman triathlon race this morning and came in first in his age group.  Grace, you got to wear his medal.  You two gave him our homemade card that you all colored and the shirt that we got him.  We got a St. Louis Cardinals baseball shirt for him.  He loved it!  We also had birthday cupcakes!  Joshua, you were excited to see Uncle James.  I took some photos of you all.  :-)

It was dinner by the time people left, so you two helped daddy and I cook a healthy meal.  Daddy grilled steak and we made rice and veggies on the stove .... onion, carrots, corn, peas, and spinach.  Joshua, you still call peas 'beans', but as long as you're eating them I don't mind.  ;-)

After dinner we completely cleaned the playroom.  We vacuumed it and reorganized it, though you two tend to 'disappear' whenever the vacuum cleaner is on.  :-P  Then, we relaxed and I felt more biscuit kicks.  ;-)

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
