Bubbles, tractors and pink ruffles and bows

It’s been heaven on earth here in South Carolina the past few weeks.
Sunny, warm, gorgeous…well, except the pollen. Everything, and I mean everything, has a layer of yellow. Dan gallantly sprayed off all our decks and sidewalks 4 days ago and today it looks as if all that hard work never transpired. A for effort, for sure. The yellow dust sure is a pain, but on a bright note, it does bring 80 degree temperatures with it. And did I mention it is GORGEOUS? Oh, I did? ;-)

Well today little Delaney took an extra long nap so Grayson and I headed out on our deck instead of our usual hot spot (the park) to soak up some of the sun.
Armed with a colossal bucket of bubble liquid (and a smaller, more manageable sized one for Grayson to use), a bunch of bubble wands and even a bubble machine, we were ready to have some fun.
Let me tell you, we had a BLAST with the bubbles. No surprise really, he's loved blowing his own bubbles since our amazing neighbor kiddos taught him to do it 8 months ago. But something I didn’t anticipate was even more fun...a big yellow tractor.

The house across from us is getting dirt delivered from a gigantic bright yellow tractor. Oh the joys of being a 21 month old boy, getting to watch a tractor go up the street, pick up a big pile of dirt, drive back down the street and then dump it all. Our morning was filled with lots of bubbles, running, waving to and hollering “Tractor!!!!” and of course sheer delight. So much fun.

I also snapped a few pics of Delaney before she headed into bed. Little Lady is already fitting into her 6 month size summer gear. She’s growing so fast!!


Wait, what's that coming down the road?
Tractor!
Hi Mr Tractor!!

3 Months and Letters Galore

The past 3 months have FLOWN by.
Delaney is thriving and turning into the most expressive and talkative little lady. We are enjoying her (and all the pink bows & outfits) so much! And just like her brother, she is extremely easy going and very happy. We truly have been blessed with 2 amazing kiddos!
We had some professional pictures taken of her yesterday, so I’ll post those 3 month pics when I get them.

And speaking of amazing, here’s a video of Grayson working on his letters. That little stinker knows all the letters by visual queue and their corresponding sound. The best part is that it’s fun for him. He loves learning about everything from shapes and colors to numbers and letters. It’s awesome how quick he can pick everything up too! Such a smart little man. Maybe I should start working on Presidential fun facts and submit him to the Ellen show? :-)

Hope all is well with everyone!
Enjoy the video and pics!

P.S. I apologize for the quality of all the pictures. I’ve only been taking pictures with my iphone. I definitely need to get better about having our SLR handy.
