Mothers Day and more...

We had a wonderful Mothers Day, which included a nice trip to the Baltimore Zoo, picked up our family membership for the year and saw many animals. Braydon loved the giraffes and swinging bridge in the childrens area,and Brielle loved the penquins and the fish (part of the crocodile exhibit).

We are staying busy here, but anxiously awaiting our trip to Michigan next week where we get to meet new members of our family...(come on Aunt Leslie....we can't wait). Braydon continues to change, his vocabulary has taken another leap, and his sense of humor....well, continues to develop. He is definately a 2 1/2 yr old boy...very active, into wrestling, running, climbing etc....

Brielle just had her 7 mos appointment (can't believe it).....she is our more dainty child...with only a 1lb gain in 2 mos, she is at 16.4lbs, and 26 3/4inches long...perfect for her. she continues to try more everyday....loves to rock on all fours, put herself into a sitting position, and just smile. she is babbling, screeching, and laughing a lot.

halfway through may....more pics will be posted after our trip to Michigan!
