Playhouse

Mommy bought me the coolest new playhouse. It is just my size, and it fits my new puppy too.

Grace and Paw Paw...and Pup Pup

Newest Addition

This is the newest member of the Hardy household. Lamar is in NYC for Fleet Week, so Grace and I made a command decision and went out and got a dog. She is a pure bred cocker spaniel. Solid black with the exception of the white triangle on the forehead. She is six weeks old. We have not named her yet. We are going to live with her for a few days first. Grace will be her registered owner. We are accepting suggestions. So far, she is VERY lazy. She just lays around. Definitely going to be an inside lap dog.

Drive

This is the new fun thing to do at our house. When we get home from school, Grace gets into the front seat to "drive." She turns all of the switches and buttons in the car, while I sit in the passenger seat and read the mail. This was the only way that I could get the grass cut on Thursday. I left her in the car with the window down to play while I cut the front yard. Don't alert CPS:)

Maestro, If You Please

Daddy is teaching himself to play the piano. Grace has in turn taken an interest.

Visit From Paw Paw

Paw Paw and Grandma Moody came to visit for Memorial Day weekend. They came armed with all of the favorites....cashews...granola bars...animal cookies. The first thing I did was turn the five gallon box of cookies over onto the floor.

More Bay Pictures

Chesapeake Bay

We took Grace to the bay on Saturday. It is about a two mile drive from our house. You really could not ask for a better set up. As posted below, Grace took swimming lessons at the YMCA, so we knew that she did not fear water. We did think that she might be a little uneasy in the vastness of the bay with waves and extra people. Boy were we wrong. She walked right down to the water and sat down in it. She loved every minute of it. We did not put her in her swimsuit due to the expected temperature of the bay, but she did not care. The water is definitely for her. She is a Navy Baby.

Southern Belle

Another dress from G-G. This one has an ice cream cone on it. We LOVE it. The hat...Mom and Dad love it. It is almost impossible to get Grace to wear one. We had to snap the picture in a hurry. The hat will probably never sit on her head again.

Virginia Beach Aquarium

I got a year membership to the aquarium for Mother's Day. Grace has discovered fish. She had a great time watching the fishies. She ran through the building, played in the canoe, watched the sharks, and played in the stingray tank. When she discovered that there were actual stingrays swimming in the tank...well...let's just say that it was time to go.

Easter Dress

This is Grace's Easter dress. G-G gave it to her. She wore it for most of Sunday. She had a great time playing out in the front yard with the azaleas.

Easter Morning

Grace was excited to get her basket from the Easter Bunny. The bubbles in the basket were the greatest hit, although when she discovered candy in the plastic eggs, all bets were off. She finished the inside of two eggs before church that Sunday.
