Me and My Friend Wynn

Can little girls get anymore Southern than seersucker and bows? I think not.

Take a look at these cuties at the park today. They would only sit still for graham crackers.

Happy Easter!

We had such a fun time with Juliet this year! She was really into hunting eggs. We practiced on Saturday morning in the house, so Sunday afternoon she was ready to roll! Really, she is so adorable!! Juliet wore a bonnet, a true southern tradition. Deda (my mama) made the bonnet for Leigh when she was two! I've worn it and now Juliet is too. She also wore my pearl necklace that I have from my Aunt Deda. Her outfit was very special! Easter dinner was at Leigh's and as always, it was beautiful and delicious! We had the traditional fare. It was sooooooo good! Deda, Granddaddy and my cousin Rachel joined us to celebrate Easter. I'll let the pictures to the rest of the talking...

Started out Easter on Friday dying eggs with the Simmons (Nathan, Leslie and Jamie is in the oven!)

Juliet This Week

Juliet started out this week with strep throat; her first real sickness and first antibiotic. She was pitiful, but within 12 hours she was better. She didn't get her appetite back until Wednesday though. I am so ready for the anitbiotic to be over, so many dirty diapers. Example: today every diaper has been dirty! I'm over that (I know she is too).

first pig tails!

beautiful weather for playing outside!!

getting excited about Easter! She calls bunnies "hop hop".

Our cherry trees and daffodils have been beautiful! I took the picture a few days too late, but the cherry tree was a perfect puff and I had enough daffodils for a bouquet!

First Zoo Trip

Yesterday was Juliet's first trip to the zoo! We had a great time with Wynn and Jan. Wynn and Juliet are the best of friends. They liked holding hands. It was really cute! The video is on the way to see the elephants. Wynn is talking excitedly about the elephants while Juliet makes her elephant noise and laughs at the end.

It was cool and cloudy, but we were dressed properly so it wasn't bad. Thankfully Juliet likes her hat and mittens. Juliet enjoyed the animals, but walking around is a pretty big hit right now. A few of the animals were hiding, Jan and I spotted a few, but trying to get the girls to find them was too hard. I was most impressed with the cougar and the giraffes! We saw elephants, bears, deer, storks, flamingos, eagles, tons of other birds, otters, alligator, bison, rhinos, elk, apes, monkeys, gazelles, ducks, geese, roosters, zebras and a bunch of other animals I can't think of...the Montgomery Zoo is surprisingly good and it is so close to our house!

what's a trip to the zoo without a crying picture?

My favorite were the giraffes!

So tired she was asleep before we were in the car one minute!
