Lions and Tigers and Bears!

Awhile back we went to the zoo with our friends the Merlers.  It was so fun to see Aylen pointing at all the animals.  Here was some...well I can't remember what they were...Gazelles?  I don't know, but Aylen kept "Mooing" at them:)  Too funny!


Grandma insisted that we take Aylen on his first carousel ride.  Aylen enjoyed watching it from afar, but then it when he was on the peacock he wasn't sure AT ALL.  He came over to me and we rode together:)  But I was so proud of him for being so brave and riding the FIRST big ride of his life!  



This montage of photos is very near and dear to me.  My dad took several photos of me like this when I was a little bit younger than this.  Dad felt such a tie to those pictures.  It was so symbolic of the life that we were beginning together...my Dad saying Goodbye to me as I ventured off into the big world, and me always turning around to make sure my Dad was there...  This is exactly what happened here.  Aylen took off running so DARN fast, it actually made me a tid nervous.  So of course I hollered at him to come back and just when he got a bit too far for my comfort-he came giggling back.

I love that boy, more than anything.  He is AMAZING.  And so sweet and ornery at the same time.

Love,
Momma
