She was s0 tired f0r running and chasing, that she needed t0 rest.

She was a messy girst after we cut 0ut all 0ur shapes.

I want t0 remember the first time I left the h0use with tw0 kids and attempted t0 get s0mething d0ne. The three 0f us went t0 Ephrata yesterday t0 gr0cery sh0p. It went really well. We st0pped at McD0nald's, had lunch and played 0n the t0ys. Kylie ended up taking a bite 0f this little b0ys burger and bit the end 0f his finger. It was a t0tal accident, but the little b0y was crying. She felt s0 bad. Then we were 0ff t0 Wal-Mart. Grady fell asleep in the fr0nt pack, while we walked the iseles. Kylie was very patient. Kylie and Grady slept the wh0le way h0me and even t00k a l0nger nap when we g0t h0me. Then we played 0utside. It was such a nice day 0utside. We had a spaghetti dinner with french bread and Cesar salad. Kylie and I made spring sugar c00kies. What a great day! We als0 had a w0nderful night Grady slept f0r 5 1/2 h0urs and Kylie had been sleeping thr0ugh the night f0r the last tw0 weeks. We are rested and ready t0 have an0ther really w0nderful day. We are h0ping the weather is just as nice t0 spend s0me time 0utside.

Grady's Growing

This was my b0y after a l0ng day 0f app0intments. He was a tired b0y.

This was Kylie when we g0t h0me. I said t0 play in y0ur r00m f0r a minute, while I get dinner ready. When I went in t0 get her t0 c0me and help me. She was in her bed asleep. She had a fun day with her c0usins, n0 nap just a l0t 0f playin.

This was Kylie and Grady bef0re bed last night. Kylie is such a great big sister and entertains him a l0t.

We made fr0sted br0wnies with star sprinkles. Thanks Amy f0r the idea. She is a very g00d little baker.

We had a tw0 week check up with Grady's pediatrician t0day. Grady is d0ing great. He is up t0 10lbs and 90z. He has gained 0ver a p0und in tw0 weeks. The d0ct0r said that he has had "excellent gr0wth and devel0pement." Everything was checked and n0rmal.
