Random Summer Fun

In addition to those awesome summer weekends, we have also enjoyed some random, fun play dates. We've hiked, hit the zoo (multiple times), visited a couple different museums, toured some local farms, hit every park imaginable, and much more. I realize I haven't taken my camera on most of these outings but this is what I have. I have taken full advantage of being home for the summer and we have tried to enjoy Washington to its fullest. We have not gotten all the way through my list of things to do this summer but I feel fulfilled!

Anytime Callie is laying like this, Liam stops whatever he is doing and crawls on top of her. Luckily she likes it (so far).

We hiked to a local beach to enjoy low tide with some of my long time teaching friends.

Collecting some seashells

Finding crabs

It was a beautiful beach and a beautiful day

The love between these two makes my heart so, so happy.

And here's some random ones :)

I'm so glad she didn't ask to go play in the water!

There's a new indoor playground near our house. The kids love it....and truly, I enjoy it quite a bit too :)

The trampoline

Practicing his ball shooting skills

There is a lot of climbing involved, someone slept very, very good

What goes up, must come down....

Getting growy

Now that Liam has arrived, it's becoming more and more obvious how big and mature Callie is! I keep telling her that she needs to stop getting so big.....her response? "No, I want to get growy like you so I can open the blinds and drive all by myself!"......hmmm, not quite ready for that! But this weekend was a BIG weekend for Callie, Saturday I was feeding Liam and Callie was changing her babies when she ran off to the bathroom. After a couple minutes Preston ran to check on her and we found that she decided she was done with her pacifier and was throwing it into the trash (we had previously gotten rid of it until we found out she was afraid of the dark, and on our pediatrician's advice, gave it back to her after a month of no sleep). We went with it and Saturday she had her first pacifier free night......it was rough! Unfortunately Preston had to deal with the brunt of it, as I was up with Liam. Not much sleep in the graham house! We were motivated though.....Sunda...

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...

Bikes

We are now a family of 4 pretty impressive bike riders.
