Wiser Family

I just realized  that I hardly have any pict. of Zach's side on here recently. I want them to know how truly grateful for everything they have done for us and how much we miss and love them!

They are great grandparents and I wish they would move closer! These picts were a few of my fav.!

* My mother-in law Gail won't let people take picts. so they are scarce! Not sure why though!

Bye Bye Baltimore!

On sunday we moved yet again to Herndon, VA.  We wanted to separate ourselves from some bad situations in Baltimore and feel that it was for the best that we join this office that will cover the same areas as last summer! It was so much work but we are mostly moved in now on the third floor, (no elevator this time!) and while the apt. its self isn't as nice there are trees, two playgrounds, a kid-friendly pool, a river, walking paths, and less chaos! Poor Allie though! She asked me today if we could go home. I asked her where, and she said to where her new friend Linley was in Baltimore! She is so confused! 

These are a few picts. of the pond that was across the street from where we lived in Baltimore where we spent a sunday feeding the fish!

Three months?

Three months?

What? Today Leah is three months old! Can't believe it! She is so sweet and getting big so fast! She is definately more petite than most babies and is just barely switching to 0-3 size- (finally, I was bored with the nb clothes!) Don't worry though she holds her head up great and has four teeth showing through already - (Yeah not sure what that's about!) Her favorite thing - Mom!

I thought I would just show some picts. for family so enjoy!

Reunited!

We were so excited to meet up with some of the friends from last summer! We went to the colonial farm just outside the CIA headquarters and then to a park with the coolest playground i've ever seen! Allie was so happy to play with her little buddies again!

Seriously though if you are ever here for very long you should check out this playground!

Having a busy two year old can be exhausting- especially when you just had another child. So for the summer I decided to schedule different days with different activities here in Towson. One of the days we go to the library for the scheduled story time and to check out books. I decided to then pick another day of the week with a theme that matched a few of the books. So for instance we did a fairy theme. That day we read two very cute books by the same author,  The knot fairy and The sock fairy, played fairies, made a "magic wand" and dressed Allie up like one! She had so much fun and it was nice to do something different!

So all of you know that Leah was born the end of March, but many of you don't know that my brother also returned from his mission at the same time. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Cebu, Phillipeans for two years. This meant it was also family picture time. I am the oldest of four children, and the oldest grandchild on my mom's side, so their were many different family combinations but these were just a few!

Baby Blessing

Leah's blessing was such a special day and I want to thank all of you that were able to come and share this day with us! (I know many of you had to leave before we took this pict. sorry! Also, we did forget to invite some and thought that some just wouldn't want to come since it was an hour and a half from home! Sorry if you are in this category! But we love all of you, and are so grateful to all our family and friends that have helped us with this "transitioning" time!
