We Love Daddy Day - Wednesdays!

Ok, so i'm terribly embarrassed its taken me so long to update the blog once again. Unfortunately its always the last of my priority list. So if i've updated then that means i'm feeling a "little" caught up on everything else.

Bill is off every Wednesday and for the girls and i, its our favorite day of the week. For the past year we've used this day for errands, house hunting, then furniture looking, then unpacking, etc etc. Just now we're starting to do some really fun things on our special days. No, the house isn't finished yet, but all we have left is to hang pictures on the walls, organize the garage, and Bill has to sort his books in the study.... then we'll be done!! Nothing more to do than all the usual stuff like,... mow the grass, wash the clothes, blah blah blah!
Here we enjoyed a day at the Woodland Park Zoo! It was a great day, the kids really enjoyed it, .....the big ones and the little ones. Lilah is sporting her lovely hat. I know she's not smiling in a lot of these photos, but she currently prefers to smile when the camera is not pointing at her, or when the mood suits her.
Bill scored us some last minute tickets to the Mariners game off craig's list and we had a great time! Here we are posing with the mascot. And the girls even got certificates saying it was their first Mariner's game. Surprisingly everyone did quite well with the lack of naps and I certainly recommend a game for a fun family event. It was my first baseball game since i've become a parent and it was much more family friendly than I had imagined. They even had a great play area for kids.
Aubrey Jane really loved the game. She sat in our laps just content as could be watching the game. I think she's a big baseball fan already, which her Papa Jack will be thrilled about! How do you like her Mariner's hat? Of course she and Lilah have matching hats!
Here's our day at the Seattle Aquarium. It was a great day, and we got to see a huge octopus. Lilah loved the otters the most, but who wouldn't? We plan to take Beth and Lily to the aquarium when they come to visit us in October.

How wonderful to see an update on your family!! You were one of the original blogs that I followed that gave us the idea of adopting from Vietnam! Now we are waiting to travel for our 6 month old son! Our blog is http://wehavebeenblessed.blogspot.com. I have you on my Google Reader, so I won't miss an update, no matter how long it takes! :-D
