The Zoo!!

The week before last we got to take a fun trip to the zoo with Grandma! We were so busy having fun, I forgot to take many pictures. But, here are a couple I managed :)



- Here Madi is brushing one of the goats at the petting zoo.

Grace was well behaved and actually stayed put in the stroller most of the time!





Both girls passed out on the drive home. I think we did I great job wearing them out!!

Sisters

These girls just melt my heart every day. Grace and Madilyn are interacting together more and more and it is so fun! I love watching them form a bond that will never cease. It brings new meaning to the quote, "a sister is a forever friend". Love my girls!!

Park Time

One of the things we're blessed with here in Los Angeles is great weather almost every day. This gives us lots of opportunities to play at the park! Now that Grace is getting older, she's really enjoying the playground. She's mastered climbing the equipment and loves the swings. And of course, Madi never turns down a trip to play, even when she's exhausted :)

Madilyn Singing

Madi has been learning lots of songs at school this year and it is so fun to hear her singing them around the house :). She gets pretty shy about doing it on video, but I finally got her to sing a song for everyone to see.

Big girl

I can't believe our BABY is big enough to be using a fork already. Stay little just a bit longer!

My little helper

I love that Madilyn is getting more interested in helping in the kitchen! Last night after Grace went to sleep we got to spend some one on one time together making a yummy bedtime treat :)

Hey There Old Friend

Without going into too much detail, I was in Colorado this past week. While there, I met up with the Vagt family briefly. For those of you who may not know, this is the family I lived with while Matt and I were dating. They took me in like a member of my own family and sure hold a special place in our hearts. Duke also lives with them now. He became very jealous of the new baby when Madilyn was born and never really came around to her. Duke does great with older kids though, so Shelly graciously offered to let him live with her. We miss him tons, but know it was a good choice for both him and our girls. It's always nice to see him again. During my short stop, he made sure to stay near me for lots of lovin'. Sure do miss you, sweet boy.
