So there's a WAY longer between my last post about Evelyn and this post about Grace than I meant to have, but such is life with two and one on the way these days. :) Gracie does her best to keep up with her big sister, even way surpassing her in some areas such as sleeping and eating. Grace has been known to eat more than me at some meals. If you saw her eat you may think we starve her, but I assure you, we don't, she's just hungry ALL the time! :)
She shares some of her summer highlights with her sister, including Busch Gardens. The carousel is her all time favorite.

We often go to BG with our good friends the McHenrys. Gracie and Caroline are watching buddies most of the time while Margaret and Evie, more the daredevils, are the ride goers. :) Here are all the girls on the train (this was the best we could do picture-wise) headed home for naps.
Grace also loves going to the beach. She has two shovels, a blue one and a purple one, that are usually her trusty companions. She especially likes the beach when Grandma gets to come too!
We went blueberry picking multiple times this summer and this is usually what Gracie looked like:
She can eat them as fast as I can pick them! I'd usually end up letting her down to forge for herself when I got desperate to get some in my container. ;) This usually resulted in many green and overripe berries being consumed though. Oh well. She never seemed worse for it. :)
Gracie loves to enter fully whatever Evie and I are up to. Evelyn LOVES birthdays so one day we decided to have a party for her doll, Ruthie, complete with party hats and all. Grace loved the idea as much as E did!
Swings and trips to the park are also highlights. Here she and Catherine are lunch buddies while Timothy and Evie are off running around somewhere - far too busy to eat (a concept Gracie can't understand ;)).

We love our happy, easy-going, delightful little Gracie!
