Summertime Fun!

So we took another trip down to P.C. Beach to say good-bye to summer...

Nana and Gracie at Pineapple Willy's

Harrison just being his cute self!

Gracie got brave this trip and discovered she loves to jump over the waves!

Sweet boy...

"So long summer!"
(Daddy lets him do this when he gets close to the drive way- much to my chagrin!)

At the park

Gracie is a great big sister

Making wishes before throwing their pennies into the fountain.

How did I get so lucky?

Game Time!

(click on the pic to enlarge it so you can see her sweet tongue)

Back at the first practice, the coaches taught the kiddos how to field balls and this was the pose that stuck! She stood like this pretty much EVERY time she was in the outfield! How cute is she!?

Ethan standing still for once!

Harrison wears this batting helmet around the house 24/7! He cracks us up!

"Hey batter, batter!"

T-Ball Practice

So back in March, Gracie started her first year playing T-Ball. Harry, (aka Coach "Daddy" as he makes Gracie call him) and Uncle Shawn are her coaches and her cousin, Ethan, was on her team too. These are from her first practice.

Of course Harrison had to get in on the action too!

I'll post the game pics tomorrow night!

I'm Baaaaack!

OK, so I know I really have done a poor job of keeping up lately, but in my defense, things have been absolutely crazy! Some of my best friends have given up blogging and tried to recruit me over to the "dark side" ... Facebook. I will probably join just to keep up with what's new on their end, but I plan to be much better at this blog-thing over the summer! School's out after next week and it's on like Donkey Kong!! Look out blog-world! I am planning to post a few random pictures from the last few months tonight. I had over 600 pictures on my camera (don't worry, I am NOT going to post that many!) Our hard drive had to be replaced last month and I had nowhere to upload them, so I know I have a ton of catching up to do! See you all tonight! (If there are still any people checking in...)

Update

Harry has started a new job (finally!) at a local music store. He is repairing computers in the back room and occasionally selling instruments too. Thank you all for your faithful prayers. We felt them! Pictures of the kiddos coming soon!

Blocks

My babysitter sent me an email at work yesterday. She said Gracie had been building things with blocks and she was so proud of herself that Miss Cindy decided to take a picture of Gracie's creation and send it to me. It made me smile, so I thought I'd share it with you. She also sent a second email with Harrison's creation so he wouldn't feel left out. Here is Gracie's masterpiece:

Here is Harrison's:

Are they talented or what?
