Arnie's meeting ended today at noon, so he got to spend the afternoon with us. We went to play in the sand and do a little exploring.
We stopped at a strawberry farm this morning and bought some berries. We've been snacking on them all day. I wish we could get berries like that at home. yum, yum!
Our little beach girl. It was fairly chilly, but that wasn't going to stop her, it took about 2 minutes for her dress to be all wet and sandy.
Gracie did okay with the sand, but wasn't fond of the water. (who can blame her, it was FREEZING.)
She has a beach full of people to watch, birds, the ocean, kids...and all she wants to play with is my iPhone.
Maggie was glad to see that Gabe had a John Deere tractor....we invited him to Norfolk to ride the real thing.
Gabe is almost exactly twice Gracie's age. It's so hard for me to believe that in just double the time we've had her, she'll be so grown up. Gabe is certainly much more kid then baby. He did puzzles with Maggie, is trying to put words together, says hard words like "octopus", and occasionally throws in a french word (if Grace does that in the next year, I'll really be surprised :)) I know Maggie grew just as fast, but it seems to go even faster now that we have both girls.
Maggie loved getting to visit Gabe and play with all of his toys. He was a perfect little host.
Maggie tripped and fell this afternoon and skinned her hands. One has a pretty big gash and the other has a smaller scrape. She's trying to be tough but they definitely hurt. I hope that they start to heel by morning. She's been walking around all evening with her hands flat and won't touch anything. I knew they really hurt when she wouldn't play in the bathtub, she just sat there with her arms above her head. Poor thing!
