Gracie Laughing

No one can make Gracie laugh like her sister Madi.

They are good friends...

Dayton Beach California

We enjoyed swimming in the pool, playing in the sand, collecting shells and just hanging out! We felt so glad to have been invited.

Our trip to California! Aunt Julie and Uncle Dave invited us to join them at their beach house in Dayton Beach California. They invited us to ride in their jet. So fun...Gracie's first plane ride.

MadiLynn my BABY has started Kindergarten. It is incredible to me that she is old enough to be in school already. I have mixed feelings. Grateful she has a chance to enjoy school, but sad because I will miss her. She is very excited to go. Her teacher is Mrs M. and she goes to AM kindergarten from 8:30-11:15. She will be taken to 1st grade reading and math group on Tues and Thurs. I am glad the teacher is going to work to help her continue to learn instead of wait for other kids to catch up to her abilities. I hope she will love school as much as I did.

Chase started 3rd grade. We got accepted to Hawthorn Academy on 90 s and 22oo W. Chases teacher is Mrs Foiles. He choose to wear his white shirt and tan shorts, although he didn't have much of an option since the school requires a uniform. We are excited he is growing and are anxious for him to start learning again!

We went to watch Chase play baseball the other day. On the drive home around 10pm when most babies would be sleeping our little Gracie repeated over and over

" da da da da".

Chase and Madi were just as excited as we were. Now that she knows Dad's name we are all grilling her on our own names. Madi keeps repeating her name, Chase his, and of coarse I think she needs to say my name next.

I guess only time will tell!

Chase's Helpful Invention

Well, Madi had a long talk the other day with her brother. She was a little bit upset because she is ALWAYS the one who doesn't have any toilet paper. She told him he needs to start getting toilet paper because she is ALWAYS stuck in the bathroom. (Truth be told she really always is...)It was quite a funny conversation. Even funnier was the invention that Chase made for Madi to help fix the problem. Now she can wear the TP Belt and never have to be stuck in the restroom again!
