I've been trying to be more intentional with one-on-one time with each of the kids. They thrive on the focused attention and it is so much fun to just soak up each of their little personalities. This past week I was able to sneak in a date with Grace. She really needed a haircut, so we made a date out of it. I gave her a couple of choices in the Garland area for lunch (near the hair salon, Missy's on Post, where my good friend Andrea works), and she chose the Milk Bottle. I had never been there & we discovered it has as much character as it appears. She's not much of an eater most of the time, but inherited her mother's sweet tooth and happily sucked down most of our milk-shake. 'Atta girl, Gracie Belle! I loved listening to her sing, tell me stories, and just talk with me as we shared the morning together.
Eli spent the morning with Coco, playing at her house & having lunch at Whitworth with Landon, Sarah & Nicole. He was eager to tell me all about it.
We've also been enjoying time recently with our new little buddy, Sydney Smith! Sydney was born to our good friends Kyle & Mindy at the end of January and has quickly become one of our new favorite people.
And, I had to throw in this picture because it captures some of the fun of sibling play taking place at home these days. All week last week the kids decided they wanted to trade jammies. Here we have Eli wearing Grace's pj's, Grace wearing Isaac's, and Isaac wearing Eli's! Funny kids.
