Washington DC

Over Memorial Day Weekend, we flew out to visit Uncle Jeff! He was a FABULOUS host and great tour guide.

We enjoyed family video games...
and fun times eating out.

Emma was a trooper and spent A LOT of time in her stroller touring DC.

Emma with Nanny and Baba

Emma is absolutely ENAMORED with Uncle Jeff... It is really sweet:).

Catching Up

So, my mom has been bad about updating my blog! Lots has happened... I went and visited my Uncle Jeffrey. We hung out in Washing D.C. together and at his home in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was so FUN! My mom doesn't have pictures yet because Grandma isn't tech savvy. Hopefully they'll be on soon. My mom made a back yard oasis for me... but I'm not that interested in my pool.

My nightly exercise program consists of chasing my cat Larry and climbing back and forth over my dog/bear, Belle.

Who wants to play ball?

Binder Park Zoo

Check this lama out:)
The goats were HILARIOUS! Emma even fed them.

When we first arrived at the zoo, we encountered a peacock. I pushed Emma a little too close to it and it went nuts squawking at us. Emma was scared to death and burst into tears!:( It was so sad! Luckily, she recovered and enjoyed the rest of the zoo.

Posing in front of the Gibbon.

I LOVE THE ZOO!!!

Emma Goes Swinging

We walked to two different parks near our house, but we couldn't find a baby swing. Andrew and Emma had to swing tandum:).

Yesterday, we went to Milham Park and found a baby swing:). She wasn't too sure about it at first, but then she didn't want to get out.

Check out the hair!

On Sunday afternoon, we visited Mormor's kindergarten class to check out the newly hatched chickens. Emma LOVED petting them and chasing them around the classroom.

On Friday afternoon, Danielle and I took Madeline and Emma to the Nature Center. They loved all the exhibits and the beautiful trails. We are excited to go back when the barn is open so the girls can pet the animals:).

Would you like to join me for tea? The weather has been beautiful lately, so we have been spending lots of time in our back yard.

Belle was groomed on Thursday and, for the first time in her life, she is sporting a bow!
