ECC Scavenger Hunt

We participated in the ECC Scavenger Hunt this year.  The ECC is the Early Childhood Center, which is grades Pre-School through 2nd Grade at ISB.  We were on a team with Grace's two best friends Sophia and Zoe, and their families. 

The rain held off and we had a really good time chasing down clues.

Bike Riding in the Forest

We had a couple days off school, so we met some friends in the forest for a spring bike ride.  That is one of the best things.  We have miles and miles of paths through the forest.  Some are just dirt, but this particular access has paved paths, which are perfect for bike riding.

It was the perfect way to spend a warm spring day!

A (RARE) Night Out on the Town

While we were in London, Matt and I enjoyed a rare night out on the town to meet up with some good friends, Mohit and Erica, that recently relocated there.

So good to meet up with some friends, and enjoy some quality adult time catching up.  Thanks to Granny, Hapa, Uncle Terry and Aunt Katie for keeping an ear open for two little girls sleeping soundly upstairs while we went out.  Much needed!

Pretty Girls

Natalie and her mommy Melissa came to play this weekend and keep Grace and I company. The girls had to do some working on sharing with each other, but really had a good time together.



It has been so fun to watch these girls grow together the past two years.

Here's a link to a post almost a YEAR ago of these two monkeys: Revenge

Please note Grace has the same hair 'do and Natalie had more hair a year ago then Grace has now.

Three Little Monkey's

Grace's two besties came to play this weekend!!!

Look at our big girls!!

Bathtime was a blast....



And a little A-B-C singing to complete the night:

Friends

Today, when Matt picked Grace up from school, they stopped off at the caterpillar on the classroom wall that has each kids picture and birth date on a circle that makes up the caterpillar body.

So he asked her..."Grace, where is Will?" And she CORRECTLY pointed at Will. "Where is Claire?" And she again, pointed at the correct picture of Claire. And so on....

They came home, and I was so impressed. And somewhat in doubt. Really? But wow.

So while we're cooking dinner, I notice we have a class pic up on our fridge from Dress Up Day. Awww, isn't she cute? On a side note, Grace, and Ryan, the little dude in Camo on the left, were the most cooperative for Dress Up Day (and therefore, got top billing on the class picture).


So I start asking her...."Where's Ryan? Where's Abby?" And not only did she point, she also sounded like she was saying their names!!!!

Now, put on your best "mommy ears" where you know 'baaaaaa ba ladamanadada' obviously means "I love you, Mommy" and watch and listen (and cut her some slack on some of her accuracy - they're in costume, so she might not recognize Brandon the Fireman):
