 Such great buddies

We dove into summer with full force and loved the free time together!

 Future pilot?
 These two love each other so much
 Our dentist waiting area is so fun
 Playing at the sand park is a favorite of theirs
 A Target run with three kiddos - no problem.  This cracked me up - I asked them to see if the goggles were comfortable and they wore them all over the store!
 Grant loved unpacking!
 Grace working on a picture frame for Father's Day ... she really wanted to write on it herself and worked so hard.

She was so proud of herself for writing by herself!
 Good morning!
 Griffin loves to build with legos and always wants me to take a picture of his creations
 Hi Grant!
 Jump!

 Grace's 3.5 birthday!  
 She has no self-retraint with sweets - she practically had the icing half eaten before I could get the cake iced!
This sums up Grant at this age - he is a fast crawler and is always looking up to see what we're up to!

Moving

It turns out with a 3rd kiddo in the house, a bit more room might be good.  We have been so blessed with our house and have loved it so much.  There are so many memories in the Central Park house: Grace was only 3 weeks old when we moved in so she learned everything there, Griffin was 2 and became a big boy in that house.  And, Grant came home to that house as well.  Not to mention all of the amazing memories we've made with friends on that courtyard, and our awesome neighbors! 
Griffin helping me take loads over to the new place
This was Josh and I's last night on our porch, our favorite cheap date night that doesn't require a babysitter!
We were a bit crazy and had a party the night before we moved - this was taken at the party.
The last courtyard hurrah!  So much fun.
All the kids love running around together
Moving was fun for Grant! He loves boxes and loved pushing them all over the house.
We moved on Father's Day but squeezed in a quick celebration before the craziness started
The kids were excited to give him baseball bats and donuts!
So many memories in their bedroom!  Griffin graciously started sharing a room with Grace so that Grant could have his own room.  The two of them became even closer from all the late-night shenanigans!
Such a sweetie.

All three G's!
The day of the move

This was taken after we had moved in to the new place - we went back for one more look at the house. The kids thought it was fun to run around in an empty house.
