Home again

I lost all of my pictures from the North Carolina segment of our family trip back east, but I’m still hoping to get them from a friend, so that post will come—I hope!  When we got back, two things happened right away:

We put Georgia in a forward facing car seat.  I think she likes it…

I kind of took more pictures than necessary for a relatively insignificant event…but it was obviously pretty significant to her, because she doesn’t smile like this very often—thus the pictures!

And then the next day, she was still beaming, so out my camera came again…tell me you could have resisted!

Can you even?

When your one year-old isn’t very happy, you take a ton of pictures when she is.

The other thing we did right away was get Elna’s birthday fish.  More than anything, this girl wanted a cat (and if not a cat, a chinchilla, a hamster, or a guinea pig) for her birthday, but since Brian said no to each of those, she settled for a fish.  On the way home from the pet store we asked her what she was going to name her (actually a him, but don’t tell her that) I told her it might take a couple of days to come up with the perfect name, and she sweetly interrupted me to say that she already knew her name.  Meet Adelia—our first pet.  Now, to keep her alive!

Happy new pet owner!
