Girlie Girl

Now that Larsen is wearing girlie dresses and outfits, my goal is to take pictures of her everyday in a new outfit.  I really want to capture and remember her cute spring/summer wardrobe! 

ADORABLE dress from my friend Audrey...
 Dress from Aunt Susan...
 Little 80's rock-star look...
So much more to come!

Trip to the TN Aquarium

While driving Todd to the airport on Wednesday afternoon, we found out that the weekend shows were being cancelled -- so after one show he was back home.  Since we had a wide-open weekend, we decided to head out Friday morning to Chattanooga to the aquarium.  We had been wanting to take Anders there for a while now and thought it would be a fun family outing.  Anders was excited, but kept thinking he was going to see dolphins and whales.  My mistake...I told him that he would see all the animals that live in water.  
Our favorites:
Anders -- the sharks
Larsen -- the ride in a new double stroller next to her big brother
Mommy -- the big sea turtle
Daddy -- the small alligator & the jellyfish  

 Checking out the sting rays -- he just looked, maybe he'll want to touch next time...
 Touching a butterfly (after he first tried to kick it, ugh)...
 We spent a lot of time watching the fish, sharks, sting rays & turtles in the big ocean tank...
The day was long & exhausting, but really fun!

I love my sweet, MESSY girl...

Grandma's Visit

A couple weeks ago Grandma came to visit.  
We headed down to the playground and Larsen had her first ride on the swings...

 Hang on tight...

 We went to Chick-fila and Anders traded in his kid's-meal prize for ICECREAM...


 And we went to the zoo.  The weather was beautiful, and it was so fun getting back to the zoo!
Anders rode the train with Grandma...
 Little photo shoot with Grandma...
 This kind of smile from Anders has bribery written all over it (I think candy was promised)!

Brother & Sister video

Anders likes to go upstairs with me to get Larsen, and he often wants to get in the crib with her.  This is typically what happens...

Yesterday...



 Scary face, think she is pretending to be a bear...


Many faces of our little girl...

Anders & I took pictures of Larsen the other morning, all kinds of funny & sweet faces...
Then Anders took these next two pictures...
 Eating puffs for the first time, and trying so hard to get them in her mouth...
 We had extra paint from Anders' art project, so I painted Larsen's foot...
