Mid-summer post

Having two kids has kept us very busy this summer. Anne and I have finally taken to creating a much more rigid schedule. We hope that this will give us both time to do some of the extra things we've been missing out on.
As for the kids, Mary Grace continues to amaze us with her development. She's started putting words together to form short sentences and is able to say and remember so many words, it's amazing. She loves taking our hands and walking us to what she wants.
William has been sleeping through the night more often than not. He's ahead of Mary Grace on that front. He loves to talk while he puts his fists into his mouth. We've caught him sucking a finger or a thumb from time to time, but he still needs the pacifier. He had his baptism while Jack and Peg and Nate and Jon were visiting.
We keep saying that we need to get Mary Grace to the beach before the summer ends, but finding the time has been challenging. Here's a few recent photos of the angels to end this post. Thanks for reading!
