Catchin' Up on Summer

Whoa, we're way behind on our summer blogging!

In June (20th), we went to the Lowman Home to see Grandmother and Grandaddy Baumgartner who had nearly finished packing up their cottage, with help from the family, so that they could move into an apartment.
Grace doled out kisses. First to Grandmother.














Then a couple more to Grandaddy.



An added bonus: Uncle Paul and Aunt Debbie were also visiting. Favored playmate Aunt Debbie got on the floor with the twins. (Thank you for Grace's first Raggedy Ann doll and Chance's flashlight in the shape of a tow truck; the twins slept with those toys for at least 2 weeks afterward and still play with 'em.)

Baumgartner men have a genetic predisposition for madras shorts.

On the way back to Summerville, we stopped in Lexington for the Gugel twins' 1-yr birthday party. Pic (L to R): Daddy, Grace, Chance, Mommy, Cousin Dylann, Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Scott, and Cousin Carson.

The Baum twins absconded their cousins' toys at the party. Carson shared sweetly. And the cupcakes were YUMMY!

Ahh, Summer. Our activities frequently include water and eventually end up with naked babies in our backyard. A few blades of grass and a bit of dirt sometimes get stuck in not-so-comfy places. :)
Mommy tried to coax the twins into putting their heads in the sprinkler to cool off. They refused at first, but after seeing Mommy do it, they now don't hesitate a bit.
