Part of the group escaped to the front door! Too funny:)

Gracie and Matthew Byrne. We had a pool party this week with Grace's buddies. It was a fun time for all of us. Summer has been filled with lots of playdates and enjoying the outside!We couldn't get these two out of the pool, they are the best of buddies:)

Big Girl First...

Today while Daddy, Papa and Uncle Tim were at the PGA tournament, Gracie and Mommy and Gigi Barrett had a Girls Day! Grace got her first haircut! I thought she would be freaking out but, she LOVED the haircut. In fact, she did not even notice her hair was being trimmed as she played in the racecar, watched Elmo and read a book. Is there any better way of getting your hair cut?! She is definitely a mini version of her mommy and loving the hair salon! Daddy has a long road ahead of him:) She was quite proud when the boys came home to show off her new hairdo and bow. Too funny. When the Daddy is away, the girls will play...;) Pictures to come.

And the most fun part is painting it on the table!! :)))

Eating spaghetti and applesauce, what fun to eat!!

I love Uncle Tim! We went for a visit to see Tim in Chicago and Grace LOVED sitting in his big chair!

No, I do NOT want my picture taken again!! :)

Trying on Mommy's flip flops

Finger Painting fun!

Hot, hot, hot! This summer is sure a hot one. This morning, bright and early after Grace woke up (today was earlier than usual because she knew her buddy Matthew was coming over for a visit so, we moved her along) , she says "outside, mommy! SHOES!" and so after we got our shoes on... we played outside in our onesie and all! We then took Teddy for a walk up the street and she waved to the neighbors as they were leaving for work, especially our Daddy. The daily ritual. Is this how people survive in places like AZ?!! ;)

The early bird is sure catching the worm here on 94th Street. More pictures to follow:). Stay Cool.
