We've been busy! This weekend we celebrated my dad's birthday with the whole family. And to celebrate we got our family pictures taken. It was a memorable birthday for dad, so we rounded up the troops (all 15 of us) and headed out for family pictures. I had my awesome friend take them for us and they are fantastic!! You can expect to see them on the blog later. When we were done with the big family pictures we headed over to Hope to get a few fun pics.

Here's Abby hanging on the Hope anchor. I can't wait until she actually goes to Hope and I can show her this picture of when she was five. So precious!

We tried to get all three of us by the anchor and this is the best one we could get. After an hour of family pictures, both girls were out of "goodness" and smiles. But I'll take this one. It's still cute.

My sister and I both went to Hope. When I was there my freshman year, she came up to visit on sibling weekend and we got our pictures taken by the anchor. It was fun to get them taken again, over 15 years later. We haven't changed at all. :)

Both my parents went to Hope as well (are you seeing a theme here?) Isn't this a great picture of the anchor and the parents?

Then we headed home to celebrate the birthday. It was such a beautiful day weather wise. It was in the upper 70's so we grilled and had a picnic outside. We even had a fire in the
fire pit. So great!

Grace has so much fun pulling her socks off. She does it over and over and over again. She also found Uncle Jeff's hat and loved wearing it around the house.

Today (Sunday) was another great day. We headed outside after Grace's nap. I cleaned up a few left over plants and pots while the girls played. Abby had such great ideas for Grace. She pulled her in the car, put her in the tot chairs, and even put her on the scooter. Now that Grace is getting older, she's much more interactive and Abby loves a playmate.

Later we headed to urgent care with Grace. She was awake most of Saturday night and not eating well today. She woke up from her nap with a fever and was pulling on her ears. Momma instinct kicked in and we headed to the doctors. Yep, a double ear infection. Poor baby. But now she's on
meds and hopefully she'll sleep better tonight.
