Annie and Grace are 8 months old today, and it's been 3 months since my last blog post...yikes! I guess time really does fly when you're having fun, right?! Just in case you can't tell from the picture below, life with 2 8 months olds is pretty much fun!
Here is a glimpse into our life for the past three months....
On May 4, Annie and Grace welcomed their cousin, Alistair Joseph Mckie! We are so excited to add a little boy to this world of girls! Here are the girls and baby Al on Mother's Day!
Annie and Grace continue to be great sleepers for their Mom and Dad, although they hit a little rough patch after I went back to work. Apparently, they have no problem snoozing when there's a sister to snuggle! These days, bedtime is around 7:30, and we hear their sweet chattering sometime between 6 and 7 in the morning. We are so thankful for the free time in the evenings!
Reading together is another favorite pastime of these two future scholars...clearly they are very advanced!
while Grace is working on her crawling skills! She's got the 'get on your hands and knees and rock back and forth' motion down, but thus far has only figured out how to propel herself backwards! All we know is that our days of quiet playtime in one area of the house are limited....babyproofing is imminent!
This past weekend, Annie and Grace had their second journey across the country, and proved that they are champion travelers! We spent 5 days in Boston for the wedding of Manuel's childhood friend, Jason Dietrich. It was a great trip, and we loved spending time with Jason and Carolyn, who now live in Boston. We also got to see our friends Jen and Oscar, who moved back to CT after Jen taught with us at SSP for 3 years. We miss all of these old buds, so it was wonderful to spend time with them! From a trip to Fenway park, wedding festivities, visits with old friends, and most of all, taking care of 2 busy babies, we were exhausted when we got home on Sunday night!

These days, Annie's preferred mode of transportation is to roll from one end of the room to the other...

With Daddy and Steve before the rehearsal dinner!
Who needs a bed when you can crash in your stroller!
Bathtime in the big tubby...they could have stayed in there for hours!
The bride and groom! It was a classy and beautiful celebration!
Annie and Grace stayed with a nanny just across the lawn from us during the wedding and reception, so we got a night out! We danced the night away and enjoyed a few hours of freedom from parenting duties. (I only went to check on them twice!)
Steve and Karin, our great friends, who were so helpful throughout the whole trip. We were so thankful for the extra hands!
