Matilda Jane does the Central Florida Zoo

So, today we decided we would take Giuliana to the zoo. Now, mind you, it was 90 degree so we were out of our minds to even ATTEMPT that, but we went! The best part was the water park that was attached to the zoo so she was able to play in the water and cool off after looking at all the animals..

Giuliana also wore her VERY FIRST Matilda Jane dress today, and I do think it was quite a hit with all the animals ;) She looked adoreable, if I do say so myself, and continued to "fluff" the aprin on the front of the dress:) I have a few more spring items coming, which she will get to wear for another few months and then I have placed an order for some fall items that are To Die For CUTE!!!

Speaking of Matilda Jane... I am going to have a few shows this fall, so if you are reading this and like the way Giuliana looks in it ( Ill post more pictures when the new stuff gets here ) then please let me know! I'd love to have you attend my show, either in person, or through the virtual window to my house ;)

Janie & Jack photoshoot :)

These are just a few that the talented Allison took last weekend of Giuliana and Evie, and Carli too.. there will hopefully be some more I can add after Allison is done proofing them. They were all taken a local park which was nice, but very hottt!

Illonois & Iowa

Well we made it back okay. Everything went as well as could be expected and I think Giuliana and her cousin Siena had the best time out of everyone. The two girls enjoyed playing with eachother and watching the wiggles every morning. They quickly adapted to their new routine :)

I will have to say that the car ride there and back, although long, really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I don't think I gave Giuliana enough credit ;) She was amazing and such a trooper! I don't think she ever really CRIED while we were driving, just a fuss here or there when she wanted to get out for the day or to get us to stop and have lunch

Ill have some pictures to post of that when my Aunt & Uncle send them. So far I only have a few.. This one is my 2ed cousin Erin with Giuliana at the reunion on the 4th of July.

Giuliana and Evie in their Tutus :D

Last week Elizabeth and I took the girls to the Zoo here in town. It was SOOO HOT. The girls didn't care so much for the animals and couldn't see most of them anyway because they were so small and not moving around so much. They did however like riding in the joint stroller and sharing snacks. After we went through the zoo and we were all hot and nasty we took the girls over to the water park part of the zoo. Thats where they had the most fun. I wasn't able to get any pictures of that because it was far to wet for my camera to have survived but I did get a few of them before hand... I really like the 1st one of Evie and the last one of Giuliana... They were my faves

Evie's 1st Birthday

Well, as the title says, Miss Evie has turned 1! We were of course in attendance for the festivites and Giuliana of course enjoyed a cupcake with her best bud.

We have also been to Allison and Forrest's shower for Miss Carli whos due to arrive in the next few weeks. I don't have the pictures from that yet, but when I do I will post them :) The room was a little dark and I'm waiting on Allison to have a free minute or two to lighten them up!

Saturday Morning Breakfast With The Girls :)

This is becoming quite a ritual these days...

Elizabeth and I have been meeting the past few Saturdays at a local place so the girls could have breakfast together and socialize. Not to mention that it gives Elizabeth and I sometime to socialize as well :D

Here are a few pictures from this morning. These two little girls were STARVING!!

Sunday Morning...

So, Sunday morning at about 6am Giuliana decided that she wanted some attention. I went in her room and handed her the sippy cup of fresh milk. She promptly through it to the ground and then reached up for me. Now, mind you, she never refuses any kind of food or drink, specially right when she wakes up. So I picked her up and she layed down on my sholder and almost instantly she began snoring. I laughed, and took her to my room.I know I know. I caved. But sometimes, I just can't help it!! I layed down in bed and went back to sleep with her in my arms. About 2 hours later I woke up and took this 1st picture of her asleep on my arm. I waited another few minutes and then I shrugged her off and went to get her cup. When I woke her up and handed it too her I snapped this 2ed picture...
