*swinging and sliding with the girls at the park

*watching Gracie climb the "big girl" ladders while I held my breath and bit my tongue

*admiring how well the girls played together in the little tent in Gracie's room

*listening to the way Madelyn says "shoe"...the girl is obsessed with them

*being amazed at how Madelyn put her sidewalk chalk in the box and then carried the box to its spot in the garage, all on her own and without being told

*seeing just how cute the girls were in their swimsuits while they helped Jim wash his car...and seeing just how cute Jim is, too. :)

*enjoying popcorn and movie night with Jim

*finally hanging up some pictures and straightening a very off-center mirror in our house

*watching M dance with the dancing gopher and then watching her cry and move away as G moved the gopher closer to her...I think she is actually afraid of it!

*drooling over more cameras...which one to buy?

*realizing I like the ellipsis...a little too much!
