Summer season is really picking up at our house and Grant and I are finding ourselves flooded with work- hooray! Grant's networking is paying off and he is now freelancing for several different lighting companies. Saylor (the captain of the boat I work on) and I delivered the Aspiration to her slip at River City this past weekend. We got her all shined up and did our first charter of the year on Saturday. The weather was perfect for boating and it felt really great to be back at work.

Grace had her 18 month checkup last week and she is right on track. She gained 4 pounds in the last three months and is now in the 45th percentile for weight. Her verbal skills are also really picking up. My favorite is when she says shoes "oooshh". This picture of Grace and Lucy was taken yesterday when the Billadeau's came up for a visit to the city. We walked over to Lincoln Square for Mayfest which is an outdoor street festival. We drank really overpriced huge draft beers and ate brats with saurkraut, yum... It is so fun to watch the three girls together. Grace loved showing all of her toys to Lucy and Jia. She was so tired after all the excitement of the day that she slept til 8:15!
