Ayla Blair & Jasper Paul: Memorial Day Weekend

We've had such a nice Memorial Day weekend - the weather has been beautiful and we've gotten to relax for most of it! On Friday Night, Blair was down in Salem attending Calling Hours for Craig and Lesley's sister-in-law, Amanda (so incredibly sad), and I decided that I wasn't going to cook. So I picked up Abe after school and we wizzed through the Taco Bell drive thru and ate tacos on the front porch when we got home. It was nice to relax, and throw away the dishes when we were done. We played outside all evening until it was time to take a bath and go to bed.

Saturday was spent at The Zoo with our girl. She loves the elephants so much! It's exciting to see her little face light up each time she sees the animals. I love that we got a Zoo Pass for Christmas. I'll renew it for years to come for sure! That night, Chad, Fancy, and Grand Dude came over for hamburgers on the grill and to watch the Pacers game. It was a disappointing loss to say the least.

Sunday morning we got up bright and early to get family photos (those to come soon). We thought Ayla would be the happiest in the morning, so we opted for the 7:30 am shoot time (it was either that or like a 7:30 pm. time, and we know that she's about ready for bed at that time) but she was "Miss Independent" anyway. We decided that she's only happy when she can do her own thing and she doesn't have to pose. Falynn gave it her best though, and she said she's confident she got some great shots! Thank Goodness. In the afternoon, we decided to go to the pool in our neighborhood and play for a bit. Abe was reluctant to get into the water, so we'll have to try again some other time. But she sure didn't have a hard time posing in her newest little bathing suit on the pool deck!
