6 Months Old!!!

Miss Lucie Lane Beare is 6 months old!

Lucie now:

*Rolls everywhere!

*Adores her brother and sister!!

*Has just started to babble a little ... especially when she gets mad!

*Has so much hair that I have had to start pulling it up!

*And can climb rock walls! 

Ok, so the last one was fake ... but she was pretty darn cute trying!!

Lucie means "light" and this little girl is totally the light of our family!

Family Day at the Park

Went to the park one day as a family ... here are some of our captured moments!

Attempting to get all three in a pic together...

Two hotties! haha!

The quietest and most still these two were all day!

Little Lucie conquering the wall!

It was a great day had by all!!

The Many Looks of Maecie

Maecie has been quite the little fashionista lately ... She will dress herself, then change her clothes at least 3 times a day. Her latest fascination has been with bathing suits and boots. But not necessarily together...

When all else fails, a tutu will suffice!

I got my running shoes on!

I'm a pretty, princess and don't you forget it!

Yep, I won the fight and got to wear my bathing suit to bed...

Wearing another tutu for a birthday party!

"CHAAAEESSE"

So what if it's 85 degrees outside? I got new boots and I'm not afraid to wear them.

Love, Love, Love this girl! 

Now if only we could get out of this defiant two-year-old phase...

To Grandma's House We Go...

We took a much needed family trip to Florence and Columbia, SC Labor Day weekend. Our goal was to visit with family and pick up some furniture. With my grandmother moving to an apartment, she was getting rid of a hutch. And since my house didn't quite have the best place to store Patrick's Grandmother's china, I asked for it!

We trekked to Florence and picked up some furniture and visited with Grandma Da. Clayton drew a picture to give to Da upon our arrival:

{He's such the little artist}

Grandma Da gave some pink pillows to Maecie (who LOVES pink) and she had a lovely time playing with them:

Then we headed to Grammie and Grandpa's house in Columbia. Patrick and I were able to sneak off to see a movie, just the two of us! So hard to go on a date these days... We (Patrick) helped Grandpa around the house the next day and the kids and I helped Grammie rearrange furniture, pull out all of the toys, and "work out" on their exercise equipment!

 The kids love visiting their grandparents and I'm glad they have such awesome ones {all 7 of them!!}
