Eating dried apples in the morning.

Suki looks around.

Enjoying a book.

Grace tries to put on the sling.

Some time with Dad after work.

Relaxing with Dad.

Happy girl a-rocking in the morning.

Today we took our first trip to the new library! Grace loved it.

Suki, on the other hand, slept right through it.

Near the undecorated tree. Now that we're pretty much unpacked, we're ready to start on our holiday preparations!

Sharing a book on the couch.

Cuddled up and ready to read.

We've crossed over to the dark side -- Suki's officially got a pacifier now. She loves it as much as Grace hated it, which goes right along with the theme of everything we ever knew about parenting going right out the window with this child.

Grace at the grocery, one of her favorite errands to run.

You wouldn't know it from these pictures, but this moment of peace comes at the end of very long, very hard day.

Dad is opening a doll that Granny sent Grace, while she admires the bunny that came with it.

Feeding the doll a bottle, which is sweet...

...and feeding the doll the bunny, which is slightly alarming :)

Another nap.

Dad decides to join in.

Watching the big kids play outside.

After another run to Target, Grace is worn out.

Snoozing, smiling Suki.

A nap on the go. Sleep seems to be the theme of this entry!

Reading Long Night Moon, one of Grace's favorite books, for the first time with Suki.

Sweet smiles.

Grace reaches out to Suki.

Early morning cuddle.

Tiny ear.

A new way to put on Grace's socks.

At the beginning of our trip to Target...

...and at the end, an hour and a half later! These two held up so well, we were very proud.

Coloring on "the big paper" from the packing materials the movers left behind.

Suki takes a nap.

Grace is getting a little more used to her little sister. She'll spend time with her willingly now, at least for a little while!

Dad and Suki hang out on the couch while...

...Mama and Grace go for a walk to see the neighborhood lights.

She loves them so much!

Leaving the hotel on moving in day!

Time for a quick kiss.

On the swing.

Dad and Suki hanging out.

Looking outside with mama.

Reading a book to stay out of the movers' way!
