It was a beautiful day today! The sun was finally out and it was warm enough to go outside. It has been a long winter of being stuck in the house with little kids! We had a great time taking Joel to the park for the first time this year. He was so excited! It made me realize how big he is getting. He wanted to do everything by himself. He climbed up all the slides and went down on his own. He even climbed up the chains and ladders. What a little monkey! Grace was not nearly as impressed with the trip to the park. She slept through the entire adventure. She did wake up however when we met Grandma & Grandpa DeBoer for dinner (where she cried through a good portion of the meal!).
Our other big adventure this week was our trip to the Backyardigans LIVE show. Thanks to Auntie Cate, we found out that there was going to be a show in Battle Creek, so we took Joel along with his friends Layla and Brady. Grace stayed back with our friends Jason & Kelly. Joel was thrilled to see Tyrone, Pablo, Tasha, Uniqua & Austin live and in person. He was singing and dancing and loved every minute of it! Here are the dads with all the kiddos...
Finally, Grace is doing great. She's such a good baby! We love having her around. She is sleeping through the night like a champ which is making life a lot more enjoyable! She has started to give us her first smiles. We just can't imagine life without her!

Joel is very gentle with Grace, and he gives her kisses every night before bed. He does have his times of jealousy, too. This week, he wasn't feeling well and needed some extra love and care. Whenever I picked up Grace to spend some time with her, he would come up to me and say, "Gracie BACK IN SWING!" In his sweeter moments, he'll walk up to her and say, "Hi Little Missie!"
Curt and I laugh literally every day at something Joel says or does. Lately, he's started saying "yeah...okay" to every question we ask. Do you want something to eat? "Yeah...okay." Should we go to the store? "Yeah...okay." He loves showing us all his tricks and skills. We get a lot of "Daddy, check this out!" and "Mommy, watch! Watch Joel!" We love him like crazy!
