Fran and Dannie's Wedding

On May 5th Kinsie's birthmom, Dannie, was married to her fiance Fran.  We were lucky enough to be apart of their special day and Kinsie and Brtinee made for two beautiful flower girls.  They were both so cute and did such a great job walking down the aisle with their little baskets.

Dannie was gorgeous and rRan was as dashing as ever.  It was such an amazing day for both of our families. Many of Dannie's family members hadn't seen Kinsie she was born and they visited her in the hospital.  They were abl to see her again and talk with her and we were also able to meet many of them.  It was such a neat experience and I'm so grateful that we were all able to share that together.  It was also great to see Kinsie's Birth grandparents again.  They attended our sealing and it was nice to visit with them again and have them see and hold Kinsie.
It was just another witness to me that adoption is really about love.  Kinsie is so lucky to be loved by so many amazing people.  It really was a great day!

Spring Break at the Zoo

Back in April the girls and I were able to convince my mom and sister to join us for a day at the Zoo during their Spring break.  I figured it would be a good time to go since all of my girls would be free.  (Kinsie just turned 3...more to come on that)  We were also joined by Kylene's friend Alex who took some great pictures of our little outing.  We had so much fun and the girls continue to ask if we can go back to the Zoo.  Luckily we have another trip planned this September with some friends of ours, but it sure was nice to spend the day with Grandma and Aunt Kylene.

We got to see some pretty amazing things this time around.  There was this peacock who had decided to flaunt his feathers completely fanned out.  I don't think I had ever seen that before, or heard a peacock's call either which is very loud.  The alligator was trying to cool off and had it's mouth wide open.  A little intimidating, but very cool.

Mylie was amazing and enjoyed being held and carried by everyone without complaint.  We finished our day at the zoo with a train ride and headed home.  Hopefully I can continue to convince my mom to make this an annual trip because it really was lots of fun.
