Just a Cute Picture

Taken just now as Gracie Girl looks up at me with pure delight as she is doing one of her most favorite things... bouncing.

Gracie & Bailey

Baby Bailey came over last night for a visit. Gracie and Bailey really hit it off :)

Gracie Goes Swinging!

We had one last visit with Uncle Andy, Aunt Kasey, Cole & Chase today! We had so much fun - especially Gracie! She got to swing on the playset for the first time! She loved it - and just checked out all the boys' activity while swinging.

We will miss The Hersey's so much. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to next time. See you in Portland.... we promise :)

Cousin Love

We had our family photos taken by Erin Farrell Photography on Monday morning. This is the second time that she has taken photos for us (she took our beach photos when Matty was 14 months old), and she is an amazing photographer. I love her work, and she is fun to work with.

Below are a few sneak peeks from our session. Poor Matty, Gracie and Daddy were all sick for the pictures, but I think they turned out great anyway. Can't wait to see the rest of them!

Bouncing Fun!

We headed down to Grandma & Papa's house again today to go bouncing in the big "Monkey House!" Matty, Cole and Chase had so much fun jumping and running around.




While Gracie snuggled with Grandma...



They weren't the only ones snuggling. Cole, Chase and Matty are the most lovable little boys!





Then it was time for a little "tennis"...




And tee ball...




The boys ended the day with a "cheers" to their orange juice snowcones!

A Great Day for Pictures and a Swim

We had a great time at Grandma & Papa's house again today! We had our pictures taken as a family in the morning and the boys went for a dip in the alligator pool in the afternoon.

Here is a sneak peek of Gracie looking fabulous for the photographer! Can't wait to see the photos!




Filling up the pool is serious business...





Gracie took it all in from the sidelines...

Go Phillies!

Today we went to a Phillies game with Uncle Andy, Aunt Kasey, Cole & Chase! The weather forecast did not look too great, but it ended up being beautiful. We left during the 6th inning since Matty was exhausted, and thank goodness we did since it started pouring right after we left! The Phillies ended up beating the Washington Nationals 6 to 0!

We had lunch at McFaddens before the game!







Matty's first ride on an escalator!





He's getting sleepy...




Much to my disappointment, this is the best picture I could get of the little cuties. They were all over the place, and there was too much going on.

Triple Threat

We have been excited for this all summer! Uncle Andy, Aunt Kasey and cousins Cole & Chase are here for a visit! The boys are so close in age to each other and are the best little playmates! We were stuck indoors all day thanks to the rain, but we made the best of it. It did get a little silly though...









Cole was fascinated by Baby Grace. He was asking questions all day and offering to hold her... what a sweetie!




Aunt Betty Ann and her two little pups, Lily and Sophie, came for a visit too! Gracie loves playing patty cake!




Look at all those blue eyes...
