It's the Little Things

On Thursday, we stopped by the Dollar Tree to pick up some things and the girls got to spend one of their dollars they had received from grandparents. After much deliberation, Amity picked out a tiara with matching earrings. Vivi chose a faux Barbie-ish doll. Those two item provided entertainment the rest of the day!

Letting Go

Amity is really into doing her own hair lately. She carefully "matches" her clips and bows to all of the colors of her outfit of the day. Up to this point, I have claimed the right to "finish" her hair before we leave the house. However, on Thursday, we were just going to the Y's Play and Learn and I figured all of the moms there would understand. She was SO proud that I didn't do any part of her hair that say. Who knew God would use hair to be part of my sanctification? :) I loves these two girls and all of the ways they grow me!

I Kiss Like Belle

It was raining on Thursday morning and I laid down to enjoy a few minutes of snuggle time with Vivien before breakfast.  After a short while of of snuggling, V reached over and gave me a prolonged kiss on the lips.  It was definitely wet and lingering!  Then, she sat back and said, "I kiss like Belle!"

I've always said her love language is physical touch but I think we are going to have to set some limits.  You just never know what is going on in those little heads!

A Sad Night

We're a bit sad tonight in the Grover house because Daddy's Spring Break has come to an end, the first dissertation-free Spring Break in the girls' lifetime! We have loved all the extra hours we've had with him and look forward to summer!

Hair Styling

Last night we introduced the grandparents to the Grover Girls' favorite bedtime stalling technique. Vivien also enjoyed trying on Uncle Brent's first pair of glasses.

At the Tulsa Zoo

After spending the night in Tulsa, Dennis and I met my parents and the girls at the Tulsa Zoo. We had a great time! Going to the zoo with 3 other adults was like a vacation for me!

It's a Date!

On Thursday, Dennis asked Amity to go on a Saturday morning movie date. Since then, we have heard about nothing else (except going to GG and KK's on Monday).

Today was the day and she was so excited. Little sister and Mommy were a little jealous but we planned our own fun at home.

After the movie and lunch at CFA, they headed home. Vivi and Amity acted like they hadn't seen each other in years. Amity wanted to tell Amity everything that happened in the movie. Vivien is now asking when she gets to go on a date with Daddy. I am too!

Signs of Spring

Although today was cold and rainy, last week was sunny and almost hot. It looks like spring is on its way and we are trying to enjoy it to the fullest before the months of 100 degree temps are here.

We're painted toenails and had picnics in the front yard. I took these pictures to document Amity's current fashion choices. Notice the socks!

True Friends

Last week, our little preschool playgroup met at the park. Amity wanted to try the balance beam but was scared of falling. Her sweet friends offered to help her. She wasn't quite sure she could trust them so Jessica helped out too. So thankful for sweet, encouraging friends!

Dr. Daddy

On Tuesday, Dennis defended his dissertation and it went great! Very soon, he will officially be
Dr. Grover but he's already got the girls calling him Dr. Daddy! We are so proud of him and grateful to be entering life after dissertation!

Crazy about puzzles!

Amity LOVES to do this puzzle! It has 100 pieces and she puts it together completely by herself at least once a day. It brings her such joy! She says she wants a 20,000 piece puzzle for her birthday!
