A visit to the Aquarium

Kiley has been asking to go the Georgia Aquarium so we decided to surprise her and take her today. She was so happy when she saw the building. She LOVED it. Her eyes just lit up when she saw the big tanks and all the different types of marine life. I was proud of her for trying to touch the baby bonnet head sharks and actually touching a sea anemone. Her favorite part was crawling under the penguin exhibit. She did it 3 times and would have done it more if she could.
Lily was a little squirmy at first. She wanted to crawl around and explore. I guess that is no surprise for a 1 year old. She calmed down after we fed her and then the rest of the trip was great.
It was such a wonderful family day!

On the way in.

She loved the jelly fish.

 She is so fascinated!

Me and my sweet girl. She wasn't happy that we stopped for a picture.

1st time in the penguin crawl!

Riding under the big aquarium with daddy.

Again, not happy to stop for a picture.

Getting silly with mommy.

Penguins the 3rd time through.

My two very tired girls fell asleep within minutes of getting in the car. It was a nice, quite ride home.

What a great Saturday. I love my family!

Photo Shoot

My friend from work Melissa, is starting her photography business, Melissa Gaffney Studios, and wanted to get some pictures of kids for her portfolio so we went to her house. She was so great and patient, which was definitely needed with a 1 and 4 year old. She took beautiful pictures of the girls and family. Of course, we forgot about the time change so the light wasn't as good as it normally is and Lily wouldn't really smile for anything. I always brag about how happy of a baby she is but of course, she wouldn't do it when needed.

Kiley loved having her picture taken. I was a little surprised but she was working it.

We got a few Easter pictures too.

Lily wasn't quite sure about the cake at first, but after a few tastes, she loved it. Of course, not much smiling though. She was really concentrating on eating the cake.

Pictures of the family! These turned out pretty well. It is so much harder to get a good family picture when there are two kids you're trying get to smile at the same time.

Welcome

I started this blog so I could remember and share all the big and small things that happen to us. I also wanted a place that my friends and family could go to keep up with our lives. I hope I don't get too busy to keep up with this blog =)
