Day One Hundred and Sixty Nine and Counting...

Jeremy and the girls went right from the van to the backyard today when we got home from school.  He was anxious to let the girls try out the new soccer ball he bought them... and just spend some time with them.  (Apparently we were rather missed today!)

 Livie really likes the soccer ball, and does well kicking it around!

But soccer just couldn't last with Grace beckoning from the top of the slide!

Climbing up...

... the slide??

On her way up...

and back down!

Yes, she is climbing into the baby swing.  All by herself.

After dinner, it was time to just wind down a little before starting the girls' bedtime routine.  Both of them love to read, and Grace loves to 'read' to anyone who will listen:

They are reading an "Olivia" story...

So cute!
