More fun with the new bed

Gracie has done well with her new bed. We've had a few rough nights because Gracie is waking up at 3 or 4am needing to go potty. I think once the novelty of the potty and her big girl bed wear off, this will go away so we'll have to hang in there.

Gracie and Meghan

Meghan and Gracie are good little friends. Here they are enjoying Gracie's new rocking horse. What fun for two little girls!

Gracie and her "big girl" bed

Today, Gracie got a big girl bed! She will be sleeping in it for the first time tonight. She is very proud of it. We have been leaving the railing down on her crib for some time now because she has been climbing out of it, hence it was time for a big girl bed. Gracie has been through several milestones lately. She is doing fantastically well with the potty and is staying dry during naptime and also through the night. She has not had a potty accident in over a week. Good girl, Gracie.

Water skiing mama

I went water skiing for the first time in several years while we were at the lake over Father's Day weekend. It was great and I wasn't too sore the next day either.

Potty training success

Gracie is learning to use the potty. We started last week and she has caught on really quickly. Way to go, Gracie! No more diapers for her.

Knee boarding

Paige and Adam are both champion knee boarders!

Boating fun

Our good friends Ben and Paige were able to come to the lake with us last weekend. They are great friends and we always enjoy spending time with them and their mommy and daddy.

Happy Birthday Damien!

We went to our new friend Damien's birthday party on Sunday. It was so much fun. Damien and his brother Liam and sister Sarah moved in around the corner from us about a month ago. We have become fast friends and look forward to getting to know them even better as time passes.

Buzz cut

Summer is here and Alex got his first buzz cut. He has wanted one for a long time and this weekend, Daddy gave him one out on the front porch.

Here is the "before" hair: Here is the "after" hair:

There were a few tears when Alex saw his haircut for the first time in the mirror but now he absolutely loves it! It is great not to have to dry it or comb it at all!

Trampoline assembly

Here are a few pictures from back in March when we got our new trampoline. Daddy had a few neighbors over to help him put it together which was really nice.
