This Week

We had a great week. Ryan turned 29 and we partied hard. Deya swam for the first time by herself. To top it all off we got to see Scott again!

Hanging out with Uncle Scott

Potomac Mills Mall was packed but we had a great time shopping. Deya and Evalyn love their Uncle Scott!

Deya and Evalyn

This is Rapunzel with her long hair, she makes me carry it around for her because that is what Flynn Ryder does in the movie. Sometimes she calls me Eugene Fitzherbert.

This is her with her pile of hair. Sometimes she likes the braided look that is when I am in trouble.

Evalyn in her blessing dress.

Her face makes me melt.

My sleepy girl in her carseat.

Evalyn in her swing.

Deya's favorite song to sing to Evalyn. Here is Evalyn in her Bumbo seat.

Family Pictures

Happy Halloween!!!

Deya is a flower fairy.

We had a great Halloween even though Deya has been sick. She is slowly recovering and is acting like herself again. Only a little over two weeks until the baby is due. Deya is excited and I am big and ready. I hope the baby comes soon.

Deya Turns 4

Deya had a great time at her birthday party. Too bad she was allergic to her cake. I made up for it and baked her another one a few days later. Her favorite part of the day were the balloons and the sparklers. For fun we went and saw a movie and then we had hamburgers cooked on the grill.

New Orleans Zoo

We had a wonderful time at the New Orleans Zoo. Deya made a friend whose parents run one of the radio stations in Houma and they hooked us up with free tickets to the zoo, the New Orleans Aquarium and an awesome waterpark/amusement park in Baton Rouge. So far we have been to the zoo. Here is Kuzco the llama.

Deya really wanted to see some dinosaurs at the zoo. I am glad they had one.

This is Deya with her new best friend Amanda looking at the white alligator. She kept meeting new best friends at the zoo and she would hold hands with them and ask them their name and tell them her name. One time she went up to this little girl and her mom and told them her name and they just didn't understand and they kept repeating her name back to her wrong and finally Deya burst into tears and came running to me and Ryan. She was so upset that they couldn't get her name right. The mom came up and apologized and asked me her name. Now she won't tell anyone her name, she comes and gets me and makes me tell them. Maybe I should tell her about stranger danger.

It was fun to see alligators so close up, they were my favorite animal to see at the zoo.

Deya was so happy to go on the carousel, we went exactly a year ago and she chose the exact same animal to ride as last year out of the hundred to choose from.

They have an awesome elephant show at this zoo. We got to touch an elephant on the bum. Deya thought it was really cool. You can see her hands clapping for the elephant in the video.
