32

If today was any indication of what kind of year 32 will be, I'm looking forward to it. We had fun with Grandma, Uncle Teddy, Aunt Dina and Maya and the Meyer family. Plus Grace cracked us up all day - when she woke up, she said, "Happy birthday, Mommy! Can I have a piece of cake now?" When it was time for cake (4 cakes!), she belted out Happy Birthday with everyone...very loudly. Later in the afternoon, she reflected on getting older and said,"When I lose my teeth and get big teeth, then I'll be a grown-up." Alex asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, and she said,"I want to be a Mommy. Because when I get big teeth, I can be a Mommy."

First Trip to Target

Kind of a big deal for city kids.

Big Girl Bed

Tractor Time

Daddy & Nate

Butterfly Grace

Swim Club with Grandma

To wet to go out, too cold to play ball...

The cousins sat at the window, waiting for Aunt Katie to come play. And then they took a rainbow bath. Later that evening, Aunt Meredith stopped by, too. What a great rainy day!

July 4th

We were in Philly, as always, for our anniversary and the long weekend. The kids had a blast at the club, swimming, playing, eating. Despite being very excited for the fireworks - and staying the extra night specifically to take her (b/c it fell on a Monday) - Grace got ready, hung out, waited for them to start and then insisted on going home the second the first firework went off. Too loud, she said.
