Summer's Lease

"Summer's lease hath all too short a date."

-William Shakespeare

It is almost time for me to say goodbye to being a stay-at-home mother because my maternity leave is over due to school starting soon. I must admit that household chores have taken a backburner to Grace. I'd much rather sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" or read books than dust. I'm ready to go back and then again I'm not. We are extremely lucky in that Grace's babysitter just loves her.

Grace and Landon meet up during our trip to the U.P. in July. Little did Grace know that soon her pacifier would be in Landon's possession.

Grace has become the little busybody. She now loves to sit up either in the corner of the couch or a chair. This was one of the first times we realized she loved just being left alone.

Well, we tried to surprise Daddy this day. We got all decked out in our Tiger outfit because the Tigers were finally on T.V. down here. We had a little photoshoot because I am obsessed with them, and as soon as we were finished she spit up all over the outfit. Needless to say, Daddy didn't get to see her in it.
