Dearest Precious Miracles~
Today we didn't have a lot of time to ourselves as a little family. My goal was to spend time with you both and daddy, since daddy worked late all week. With soccer on monday, and working late tuesday, wedneday, and thursday .... yesterday was the only time we all got to eat dinner together all week! :-P So, I wanted to spend today together as our little family of four as much as possible. I knew Gigi, Grandpa Jim, and Uncle James were coming over because they called yesterday and haven't seen you all in over 2 weeks. So, I was expecting them and always enjoy their company. But, I didn't expect more visitors staying until 8pm. :-P
We new we needed to make a trip to the store .... we almost ran out of wipes for you two this morning! So, after everyone had breakfast, we headed to Target and picked up some supplies. Joshua, you also needed some diapers. Grace, I walked you around in the infant carrier as you slept. Joshua, you sat in the cart looking around at all the people. :-)
Once we got home, I nursed Grace and daddy made a pizza for lunch. Joshua ate some of the pizza with us. Then, we let you all play in the bonus room as we ran your laundry. Oh, Joshua, daddy gave you a nice bath this morning, which was needed since you managed to get yogurt in your hair the other evening. He also clipped your nails, but only your fingers. You started to stir with the toes. :-P
Daddy and I did a lot of cleaning around the house before Gigi, Grandpa Jim, and Uncle James got here. Gigi brought Grace over some clothes from cousin Stephanie and some UNC hairbands. They're so cute! Joshua, you got a big toy that's now in our living room. On one side, the toy display is a kitchen to play with .... on the other side, it's a study! It plays different songs depending on what you push. You immediately start playing with it each time we take you downstairs. Gigi's coworker has a son who grew out of the toy, so he gave it to Joshua to use. That was really nice! :-)
We all got to visit and they all got to hold Grace and play with Joshua. Joshua liked to follow Uncle James around the kitchen. As we were all visiting, Mimi and (Great) Aunt Allyson walked in the house. We weren't expecting more visitors today, so it threw our plans off. Gigi, Grandpa Jim, and Uncle James didn't stay much longer after that .... but don't worry, we'll be able to see them next weekend as we head to Asheboro to see your Great-Grandparents. :-)
Joshua got fussy since this also threw his nap schedule off. Mimi called Grandpa Mike to come over so they all could order a pizza (though we had already eaten one for lunch). :-P Grace, you and I got to go upstairs and enjoy a little bit of peace and quiet as you nursed. I walked around with you in the bedroom afterward and took some pictures of you yawning. :-)
Once dinner was completed, people started to leave around 8pm. It wasn't much longer until bedtime, so our day together with just the four of us will have to wait. :-P We managed to rest in the bonus room for about an hour before getting you two ready for bed.
Sleep tight little ones!
I love you both! :-)
