The Park

Dearest Miracles~

Hello little angels!  Today was a beautiful day!  We had the windows open again and had a nice breeze go through the bonus room as we played.  :-)

Daddy made breakfast again!  Grace, you and I were up all night again, so I was actually 'going to bed' a little before daddy and Joshua woke up!  Once we took a little nap, we woke up to the smell of a homemade breakfast!  Daddy made pancakes and bacon.  :-)  Yummy!  Joshua, you still didn't eat much of the food, but you at least tried a piece of a pancake.  :-P

After breakfast, we got ourselves ready for the day and walked up to the park.  It was crowded!  Everyone was out there on the playground.  Grace started to get hungry, so she and I went over to a bench so I could nurse her.  Daddy put Joshua in a swing and pushed him.  We got back home in time for lunch.  We made a pizza and then headed upstairs to watch UNC and DOOK.  Ugh.  This game was painful to watch.  Our Heels didn't play very well at all and we lost.  :-(  But, we're still in the NCAA tournament and play on friday.  Hopefully we'll pick it up for that game or the season will be over!  

After the game, we had a little bit of down time before company came over.  Gigi, Uncle James, and Grandpa Jim were the first ones to come over.  Grandpa Jim and Uncle James took Joshua for a walk in the stroller.  Little man, you eventually fell asleep in the stroller and Grandpa Jim carried you in the house to sleep on the couch next to Gigi and I.  Gigi, daddy, and I visited with Grace when you all went for your walk.

Shortly after, Uncle Brennan, Aunt Katie, Mimi, and Grandpa Mike came over.  Mimi made a lasagna, salad, and bread for daddy's birthday.  Gigi, Grandpa Jim, and Uncle James brought an ice cream cake.  Everything was so good!  I think I ate too much!  ;-)  

Daddy opened his presents and liked ours!  We got him a grill accessory kit with a framed poem from the two of you.  The poem said:

Happy Birthday to our daddy

We hope you will enjoy,

These tools and utensils from

Your little girl and boy!

We know you want a grill

You’ve been looking for a while,

We thought about buying one

But didn’t know your style! 

So, we need your help in finding one

To make this gift complete,

Once you find one that you’d like

We’ll even buy the meat!   

Happy Birthday to the best daddy in the world!  We love you!

~Joshua & Grace

Daddy said he would help pick out a grill so we can get him the one he likes.  Now that the weather will be getting nicer, it'll be fun to have a grill and eat out on the screened in porch.  :-)

Oh, today is daylight savings .... so, we lost an hour of sleep.  That's another reason why we were so tired today.  :-P

Once company left, it was pretty late.  I put Joshua in some pajamas as daddy held Grace.  Then, we relaxed in the play room before going to bed.  

Tomorrow is daddy's birthday, but we won't see him until the evening since he has to work.  

Sleep tight little children!
 

I love you both!
