Zoo!

We decided to take advantage of the perfect weather and holiday from work (for Jake) and went to the local zoo. Although it is much smaller than our old zoo, it's actually pretty amazing! Elayna loved feeding the parakeets, riding the train, hanging on dad's shoulders, playing on the huge children's playground, and seeing the coy fish feeding frenzy. We probably saw half the zoo (if that) this time, so we will be going back soon. Hopefully with Aunt Mimi, who is coming to visit, and who happens to like giraffes. :)

Enjoy Elayna's joy!

Found another new place to hang...

Elayna and I found a beautiful new place to explore the other day. Looks like it could be a good place for portraits as well. :)

I can't believe how gorgeous and grown-up Elayna looks sometimes... time is going so quickly. I love every new thing she learns, and she constantly makes me laugh now with her jokes and funny observations, but some days I am just glad she still fits on my lap and will snuggle me. It's sad to think that this time won't last forever...
