Just Pictures

We visited the Denver Zoo one day while in Colorado.  It was so much fun to watch Hailey look at the animals.  You could tell when she spotted something, she would just get a big smile on her face and start kicking her feet in excitement!  

Traveling with two was definitely a little different than traveling with only one, but both of the girls did great on the flights.  Thanks to my Mom's sister Mary Alison, we made it back to Virginia safe and sound.  She was brave enough to volunteer to fly back with me and hold Hailey on her lap.  The new toys and Aunt Mary Alison's great entertainment kept Hailey occupied!  I know that I continue to say it, but we are so blessed with such wonderful little girls!

Girls, Girls and More Girls

While we were in Colorado I had the chance to get together with some friends from college.  I hadn't seen either one of them for quite awhile, so it was great to catch up with them and get to meet their daughters.  At one point there were 9 girls in my Mom's house, needless to say my Dad felt very outnumbered!  Girl Power!!

Madison's Baptism

I haven't posted pictures for awhile because we spent about a month in Colorado.  It was wonderful to be with family and get to see friends.  We went to Colorado to baptize Madison at St. John's Catholic Church.  For those of you that don't know, Dave and I were baptized and married here and technically we met in youth group here as well!  We just thought that it would mean so much more to us, to baptize the girls here.  Hailey was baptized last year and a short 10 months later Father Brian also baptized Madison.  (Father Brian also married us.)  He asked us if we would be back next year... my response was "that's not funny!"  It was such a special day to celebrate with family and friends.

Hailey Walking

Here is a short video of Hailey walking.  Tori did the recording and did a great job.  It is obvious watching the video that Hailey can definitely walk on her feet, but she still prefers to walk on her knees!
