Our Memorial Day Trip to the Philly Zoo

We went to the Philly Zoo for Memorial Day 2008. It was Emilys 4 or 5th trip but Abby's first trip. We went with Canio's mom (nana> As many of you know Canio lost his job on April 24th. I began working full time to make up the money difference. Memorial Day was very special because it was the only day that we had as a family the entire month of May that I didnt work somewhere (other than Mothers Day).

Emily got her face painted. She chose hearts for "love" (even though I tried to talk her into the butterfly design)

Just Emily being beautiful, even near an ugly vulture! hehehe

Abby spent a lot of time in the stroller, only because she likes to run away if she gets out. If you take a real close look at her legs you will see a TON of bruises. She is a boy trapped in a beautiful little body....and yes, her hair is still red (strawberry blonde).

I love this look - she was in the childrens zoo petting a goat. She gave a funny look. She has soo many expressions. She is getting tall and talking up a storm. Yet she still cuddles with me and nuzzles her head on my shoulders. These are the best things in life. I love my two girls with all my might. I am blessed with two very different but very good girls. Abby loves to fold her arms to pray, but refuses to sit still for anything --- and she loves "babies"....she carries them around. (Naked of course).

After a long day, Abby zonked and slept the entire trip home. Thank goodness she sleeps better than Emily or else she would have been up all night!

And finally... in other big news..... EMILY IS POTTY TRAINED! YEAHHHHHHHH
