Memorial Day

Memorial Day Weekend we headed down to Anacortes for a "stay-cation" at my parents house while they were out of town (so nice of them to let us stay!).  We spent the weekend relaxing, hanging out on the beach and going for a ferry boat ride.  The weather was great, making us so excited for summer!

Gracie is all smiles these days

In an attempt to resist napping, Luna fell asleep in the chair instead

So excited to be on the ferry!

Oh so windy!

 


Getting ready to disembark

 

The girls got into bed with us one morning.  We had a blast taking pictures and being silly:)

Luna is a tough kid and tends to get lots of cuts, scrapes & bruises.  Brian walked in on her one afternoon taking care of some of her "ouchies".

Luna's New Hobby

Gracie gave Luna a new camera at the hospital.  She has been busy clicking away ever since.  Below is a video with most of her early shots.  I apologize in advance for the blurriness of some of the photos, but the blur emphasizes Luna's constant motion.  Note the point of view of many of the shots; pretty fun to see the world from her perspective and height!  Enjoy:)

Playin' at the Park

Luna, Gracie & I headed to the park last Friday morning after dropping Brian off at work.  It was a gorgeous morning and we had the playground all to ourselves.  Not a major event, but it was great spending time with my girls outside.  Needless to day Luna had a grand time and was very "stylin' profilin'" with her headband and sunglasses.

We're going to the playground!

Thumb's up, Mom!

"Sister" joined us on our morning outing & watched the fun from the sidelines

When Luna wanted a break from the playground, she decided to play with rocks

Spring has arrived!

Spring finally showed up this week with temperature's creeping up to almost 70F!  Awesome.  Luna celebrated by putting on her birthday suit and running through the sprinkler.  Brian and I were laughing so hard watching her go through the water again and again.  I thought we would be out there all night!

Action shot!

Gracie slept through mot of the fun

Getting dried off

Sprinkler jumping is so exhausting!

Mommy's Best Medicine

I ended up in the hospital Tuesday night with severe abdominal pains and found out I had to have my gallbladder removed (turns out pregnancy hormones can cause gall stones).  After two nights in the hospital and away from my girls I was able to come home.  I've been a little sore, but otherwise doing just fine.  Luna & Gracie kept me company in bed while I was resting; they're the best medicine a momma could have!

I owe a huge THANK YOU to Brian being with me at the hospital and to my mom and the McClanahan's for watching the girls for us.  It was scary enough to end up in the hospital unexpectedly; we feel so fortunate that Luna & Gracie were in such good hands while we were unable to be home.

We have SMILES!

Momma's Day

After a week of stomach flu in our house, we celebrated Mother's Day with a fantastic lunch at our house with both our moms.  Brian tried to get a photo of all the ladies but it was hard to get everyone to look their best at the same time. Pretty funny, actually....... 

Beginning of May.....

Time flies when you're having fun! Here are some pictures from the beginning of the month.  Enjoy!
