Zoo Pictures

I thought there were more pictures of us at the zoo but I guess we took more video. Here are a few good ones.

We had a wonderful weekend with Gabe's parents who drove down to see the girls and celebrate Evie's birthday. Evelyn had a blast playing with the their two dogs and loved the attention from GiGi and Poppy.

So Maeve is laughing and smiling now, she just stops when I pull out the camera. I captured a little smile here.

Evie's 2nd Birthday

Video from Evie's birthday and our trip to the zoo. It's about 10 minutes long. And yes she is crying in the first clip. She stuck her finger in the candle as soon as I put it in front of her. We got off to a rough start on her big day. Pictures to come soon.

Sweet Moments

Our neighbors were so kind as to give us a camera they were not using so below is my first attempt at taking a video of Maeve. It is almost 2 minutes and she really doesn't do much. It is mainly for the grandparents. I know they want to see how she has grown.



It makes me so happy when Evelyn actually does something nice out of her own free will. This morning after I gave her a cup of milk that she was asking for she said "Thank you mommy" and smiled. I didn't even have to prompt her.

A Few Random Pictures



This was sometime in May or whenever it started to get hot. We spent at least one day a week with friends playing in the water. None of them knew how to use the slip' n slide but they had fun getting wet.


Evelyn preferred to drink the water from the slip'n slide



For about a month we went to the park every morning to play before it got too hot. She fell asleep while I was pushing her.


First day of Gymnastics-She was supposed to run around the circle and sit down. Once she finally understood what to do she didn't want to sit down and ran around a few more times. That's her at the top of the picture standing with her teacher telling her to sit.
