My Beautiful Gracie

I took these pictures of her today while we were hanging out. Isn't she gorgeous!?! I just love her so much!

If you've ever been to London you will recognize these phone boxes. They are all over the city-London is known for their red double decker buses and red phone boxes (yes, we call them phone booths, but in England they are phone boxes). The day we took the train into the city we ate at our favorite restaurant which happens to be British. They have this phone box in the outdoor area, and William was desperate to check it it.

Our First Trip on the Lightrail!

We recently got a new train system in our area. We finally had a beautiful Sunday with no plans so we decided to take the train into the city. It was awesome! William was so excited to be on the train and smiled a huge grin the whole time-as you can see from below. What a great activity to do for the day! We had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants and walked around the city.

My friend Amber came over to visit today with her little boys. Here is a picture of Gracie and Mason. Mason is just a little younger than Grace. It was great to see you, Amber! We really need to get together more often with our kids!

Good-Byes Are Never Easy

Olly's mom headed back to England on Thursday :( We miss her! It was so wonderful to have her here for a month (and Olly's dad here for 2 weeks). She stayed home with William and Grace when I returned to work from maternity leave. It made going back to work just a little easier knowing that my children were with their nana.

William had a wonderful time with his nana and grumps. They played Twins a lot. (hitting the ball with a bat in the yard). It was so nice that he could spend so much quality time with Nana and Grumps. Some things I'd like to remember:
"cheers my dears"
"I did a body bang P-HEW!"
"Let's go play Twins!"
"Toes, nose, ears, throw!"
"I miss Nana, but we can still Skype!"

Thanks for a great visit!
