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!!!

Sorry it took me longer than I thought it would to post more pics of the wedding - but here they are! The pics are out of order - but that's O.K. - they still show how much fun everyone had!

Our family all dressed up! Nicholas was not very happy at this point, but at least he's in the picture!

Nicholas with his juice. After he got rid of that coat and bow tie and had some juice, he had a blast!
