Life in the hotel wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Bret, the kids and I fell into a nice routine, and for the first time in several weeks, Evan started napping again! It might have had something to do with hour plus he spent swimming every morning. 
Now that Grace is able to sit up on her own, Evan has really started to enjoy playing with her. The bad part is that he sometimes think she is a little bit more stable than she really is, so Grace has taken a few tumbles in the last couple of weeks.
This nap must have been a rough one! This was before we moved rooms...initially we were in the smallest hotel room EVER. We were told every room had the same layout, but then, Bret did some investigating (read peeking in rooms while the maids were cleaning) and discovered the same layout definitely doesn't mean the same square footage. So, he was able to get us moved to a new room that was probably 4 times bigger than our last room.
Pretty girl! Her hair is WILD now, so we are doing our best to pin it down/back. The new stuff coming in sticks straight up!
Oh Evan. He is so much fun, and he never stops making us laugh with the things that he says and does. He loves showing his muscles these days....
and he has to pick his own clothes out these days. he changes his mind on what he wants to wear approximately every 30 minutes though. this shirt he just HAD to put on because it was his work shirt, like Daddy. He grabbed it, said, "I'm going to put on my work shirt and go to work. Its my work shirt like Daddy's work shirt. Its fancy". He also called his black shorts that he is currently wearing his fancy shorts. Might need to work on the definition of fancy? This one can't wait until summer because he will not take these shorts off.

and, she was a happy baby the whole time! whenever she got bored with one toy, she just tossed it to the side and grabbed a new one from her bag.
BUT, now we are going to move into a new house, and the kids couldn't be more excited! If this was a video, you would see Evan jumping up and down screaming WELCOME HOME! He is going to be a little disappointed when he remembers he can't go swimming whenever he wants to, and he is going to be really disappointed when he realizes that we are putting furniture in the big empty rooms that he has been running around in like a wild animal.
and, since we got the house on Friday, but the movers couldn't move our stuff until Monday. Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Pam came over to help us (read Bret) paint the kids' rooms. Jeff and Bret worked like crazy for two straight days, and I think the rooms look great.
Pam did a wonderful job entertaining Evan. Not sure what they did all day long, but he had a blast playing with her. Pretty sure she is sleeping like a baby right now after spending two full days playing with Evan who only goes 100 miles per hour.
After two days of painting, Grace is loving her new paint color and her new room. She's a pretty lucky lady - two rooms and two different colors of pink and she isn't even 8 months old yet!
evan in his new room with the new paint! when he came with bret and i for the inspection, he picked which room was his and which was grace's room
ahhh...home sweet home. well, tomorrow it will be a little more like home when we get all our furniture! e has been talking nonstop about the big truck that is going to bring all his stuff from storage
