Cuteness

Shortly after Lydia was born, my dad started taking Miles for some one-on-one grandpa time on Tuesdays (to give me a break while Ryan was at bible study). One evening, both my mom and dad took Miles out for an excursion and took him to Krispy Kreme to use his valentine coupon from his friend Caleb. He came back looking like this. So cute.

Festival of the Arts

We took the kids to Festival of the Arts in Downtown GR at the beginning of June. Miles had a great time painting and eating and listening to some fun music. Lydia enjoyed seeing the sites and hanging out. She just loves to be outside. It was HOT that day, but the kids didn't seem to mind.
