Family Time

I'm not doing to good at doing blogs lately, sorry for to all those who follow and look for updates on the girls.

Not a whole lot has been going on here, other then trying to get the hang of things on my own. Last Thursday, was the first time I was alone taking care of the girls. Courtney was lucky enough to have until May 20th off for paternity leave and then with that, my sister, Amber came for a visit along with my mother. It was very nice to have all the help with the girls, especially with McKaila because I couldn't give her all my attention all the time, like she's used to. So, having family around for a couple weeks was very helpful.

We haven't really gone on too many outings since McKenna arrived, but while Amber was here, we decided to head out to New Orleans. Not only to explore there, but Courtney and Amber wanted to get a Mega Millions ticket. (they don't have lottery in Mississippi) It only takes about an hour and a half to get there from Biloxi, which is great, because I know we are all looking forward to going back real soon!!

McKaila is excited for a road trip

Once in New Orleans, we went driving around and at one point we looked in front of us and saw a bunch of giraffes. The zoo was in front of us. We didn't go to the zoo, but we did get the chance to walk up to the fence to see the giraffes. McKaila loved it and can't wait to take her back, but next time we'll be going inside the zoo!! By the area where we got out to see the giraffes, there was this very old tree. It was huge and many people were climbing on it and sitting on the branches. So, of coarse McKaila wanted to take part in it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

While my mom was here, we basically stayed inside for the most part because it was too hot to do anything else. We did go out and hit up a few stores in which McKaila found herself a princess dress which she just had to have, so Grandma bought it for her. If she would of had it her way, she would have gone to bed with her princess dress on!
