MIA

Yes I know we have been missing in action for a while now. During this time I lost my paternal grandmother to cancer. She was a great lady and I will miss her very much - though I know she is happy to be with my grandfather who passed the day before Sam was born and my uncle who passed in March of this year.



This picture was taken just a month before she passed.


Coming soon though I will have updates on Sam's 1st black eye, time spent with my dad, step mom and sisters from California, Greg's birthday and our up coming beach trip with my brother-in-law and niece from New Jersey. Expect to see more of me now that I have my laptop set up and will be able to have access to a computer with out having Greg begging me to hurry up so he can use it ; P

Zoo Adventures

A few weeks ago we met our good friends Alex and Chad at the zoo. This was Sam's first time going to the zoo - one of my favorite places. It was so much fun though it was super hot! It was fun seeing her name all the animals she knew and watching her learn new ones.


Here we are with the Hop Hops- though now she will say Kangaroo.
At one point one hopped away and she was ready to go after it



Here she is helping Greg feed the Lorakeets. She was ready to go after about a minute.

She loved the monkey's - especially the Gorilla.

At the petting zoo - petting the goats- she stated that the goat was soft
and was not scared at all to pet them.

Riding the carousal - this was also a first -

Telling Alex about the monkeys she was seeing. He is such a cutie!

We definitely can't wait to go back - just when it is a LOT cooler!
