A little bit of this and a little bit of that...

That's what we have been up to. We have been staying very busy, yet I don't know what we are busy doing! But here is an overview of some of what we have been doing...and saying.

Grace is for sure our girl who is 2 going on about 20! She already calls me "mom" and Greg "dad" at times :( Makes me sad...oh how I love to hear "mommy" from her sweet little mouth. But this weekend she went beyond that even, calling Greg, "GREG!" and me, I am "Tol" for Cole. Oh is she something else these days! Such a little HAM!

yet SO, SO sweet when she wants to be (and lucky for us she is a lot of the time!)

And then there is Isabel...also getting TOO big, TOO fast!

She is for sure our fashion girl.

She picked this outfit by herself...the fancier the better!

Both girls are talking NON stop these days! Isabel beats Grace I think in the talking category, but there is rarely any quite time around here at all. They are saying the funniest things to us, and even funnier things to each other. They have been in speech for several weeks now and their conversation (or fight) last night as they decided who was going to go first today was something like...Grace - "you go first Is? Tay? Tay? Me go mommy? Tay? Tay?"

Isabel - "mines go first Reeen. Tay Gace? Tay? You go mommy."
Very sweet after I had to threaten that Reanne (the therapist) wouldn't come if they fought about her!

With their talking, they are becoming quite the phone talkers. And it is SO fun because Greg and I can almost have a conversation with them! We still have to translate for others on the other end, but we are getting there, and they love it (and I think Gigi, Papa, Grandma, Aunt Laura, and Aunt Brit do too...poor Doug, he is not a favorite to talk on the phone to right now :( but we are working on it!!!!!

And as sweet as they are together (which they are VERY, VERY sweet most of the time!), they are also VERY quick together. And this morning, we were getting ready to go outside for a walk, and the next think I knew, they had the door open...they had unlocked the deadbolt, and opened the door.

So guess what Greg is doing this weekend...

adding ANOTHER lock on both doors, up REAL high!
