palm sunday

i love when we can finally break out the spring/summer clothes :)

zoo!

we had a wonderful day at the zoo yesterday. we were able to get to see some of the animals, but the bulk of our time was spent on the choo-choo train, carousel, and a camel - YES, the girls got to ride a huge camel with danny!

ella, ella, ella dancerella!

ells has 2 cousins who are ballerinas :) and she gets a lot of their old ballet things. we are hoping to start her in a class this fall, but until then her cousin mackenzie sent home with us from florida, her old bar and mat and video to help learn all the 5 positions! i cannot count the times we've already done this 30 min video :)

swingin at the park

never too early to get into the AU spirit :)

9 month check-up!

We had norah's appt yesterday and it was pretty routine! no shots :) she's still a little peanut but she's growing consistently so we're not concerned. still no teeth, still no crawling - but you can't find a happier baby :) she's 17.5 lbs (20%) and a whopping 30inches (95%)!

her big sisters always come along for moral support!

the dr. was running quite a bit behind yesterday so finally layla resorted to comedy to keep us entertained :)

just for you melissa :)

this is the new routan - love it :) it feels like we went from cramming 5 people into a 1 bedroom apt to now a mansion!!

outside fun

we got to play outside again yesterday - maybe spring has decided to stick around!

someday their prince will come . .

girls to the core :) they love anything wedding . . and princess!

pinkalicious!

"pink is my signature color!"



it looks like my child has been hosed down w/ pepto bismol :)

my goofballs!

spring sprang - but just for a day?!?

friday & saturday were wonderful days but now it's back to cold and grey! i thought we left seattle?!?! :) but we took full advantage! the girls and i spent friday afternoon w/ a picnic lunch in the park!















we had a wonderful weekend! we went out for dinner w/ joel & allison friday night (long time overdue!!) and saturday we went to ATL to buy a mini-van - also long time overdue :) and we got to visit w/ kathy and ryan for a bit before they move to gainsville :( here's hoping they don't forget their tiger roots!!!
