The Pittsburgh Zoo

We had a wonderful time at the zoo this past weekend! The weather was beautiful, and we got to see so many animals up close. The favorites included the baby elephants, giraffes, penguins, bears, sea lions, and kangaroos.

The baby elephants were so cute! We got to see how the big elephants drink water with their trunks.

More zoo...

The kids got to get really close to a kangaroo!



Alina and Maddie next to the lion's fence. If you look very closely, the lion is sleeping on a rock behind the girls.

The kids next to the zebras. Nicholas wanted out of the stroller.

More zoo pics...The penguins were a big hit, and Nicholas loved watching the fish and "shoaks" (sharks) at the aquarium.

College Football Season Has Started!

I'm a little behind posting this! Last weekend, we were all excited for the start of football season! As you can see, the kids enjoyed wearing their favorite team colors (influenced by Mom and Dad, of course). I think we're compromising nicely. The girls are in Penn State cheerleader uniforms and Nicholas is in his Notre Dame attire. Both teams won, by the way, so I told the kids they had to wear these outfits every Saturday during football season!

Aunt Nat's and Uncle Matt's Wedding!!!

O.K., so I'm really tired, but I have to post just three wedding pics. Believe me, I'll post many, many more later (maybe tomorrow). Anyway, the wedding was absolutely perfect! Natalie looked gorgeous, and the wedding and reception were beautiful - and a total blast!! I was so proud of Alina and Maddie - they were perfect flower girls and of course they looked gorgeous! Nicholas did a great job as honorary ring bearer, although he did not enjoy getting his picture taken until we were at the reception (after he lost his bow tie and coat). But I did my best to get some good pics. Here are three good ones!!


Rehearsal Dinner at Heartland Hall

The night before the big day!!! We had a fun time at Aunt Nat's and Matt's wedding rehearsal and dinner. The food was delicious, and Matt and Nat put together an awesome slide show of pics from when they were little. Wedding pics will be posted soon (hopefully)!

It was so nice of Matt's mom to give the kids little gift bags at dinner! The girls loved posing with their new feather scarves!

Nicholas was sleepy, but he was trooper. Pretzels make everything better! Here he is enjoying a snack with Gi and Pappy.

A very smiley Nicholas with Uncle Wayne.

Aunt Kelly made it in all the way from San Francisco to sing at the wedding. We've missed her, so it was so wonderful to spend some time with her. Here are the girls enjoying time with Aunt Kelly.

Nicholas with his beloved football. An awesome present for the honorary ring bearer from Aunt Nat and soon to be Uncle Matt!
