Lexi Splish Splashing

Olivia was off to a pool party today, so Lexi got to enjoy the baby pool all by herself with Papa. Here are some cute pics of her in the pool. Lexi was surprised when Beth sent home a goodie bag for her as well, how nice!

Olivia's Garden

Back in February, Olivia started her garden in the house with seeds. She kept her plants in the front window where they would get a lot of sunshine. Here is how her garden looks now on the back porch. We have tomatos, purple peppers and cucumbers. Her first crop is almost ready to be picked (cucumber)!

The New Way To Watch Cartoons!

So, after Olivia's meltdown this week over not being able to swim and her current goggles no longer work. Off we went to Target yesterday to purchase new goggles.

Here is a cute pic of the girls sporting their new goggles while watching cartoons this morning. It is too funny seeing them sitting around in the living room this way.

Lexi To Have Surgery

So today Lexi had her consult with the ear, nose and throat doctor. He said it was about 50/50 whether or not to have surgery to correct tongue tie. I have opted to have it done, to be scheduled for August 27th. I didn't want to wait until she was older, I wanted her to get it done and over with now. It is a very minor surgery but they do put her under "gas" general anesthesia so they can quickly make the cut without her moving around. She will also have a few dissolvable stitches.

So, stay tuned for her surgery on August 27th.

A Day At The Franklin Park Zoo

Yesterday after a morning of showings in Southie, Fawn, Skylar and me and the kids ventured back to Dorchester (a kind of rough area of Boston) to the Franklin Park Zoo. Neither of us have been to this sister zoo of the Stone Zoo, but thought it would be nice for a change. And boy we were surprised it is a very nice zoo.

We entered via the Zebra entrance (there are two entrances to the park) and a train that once you get to the other end of the zoo for $1 will bring you back to your entrance (what a great deal and saved my sort feet). I think I need some bigger feet now that I have gained all this weight!

Look at these crazy animals that greeted us when we entered to zoo!




Anyways, the girls had a fabulous time, seeing all the Lions, Tigers and Bears. There is also a farm petting zoo (not many animals though). Here is a cute picture of the goat that we nicknamed PAPA.



Here is a picture of all of us inside the Butterfly Landing.



We saw some very sleepy tigers and lions and then made our way to the Tropical Forest where the gorillas and other animals are. This area is very nicely designed, with waterfalls and bridges, very pretty inside.



Outside the Tropical Forest area they are shooting a new movie, The ZooKeeper. So there was a full movie set, no filming on the weekends though.

We also saw a baby giraffe and a baby lemur, how cute!

Then, we took the train ride back to our entrance and braved the rough neighborhood to come home.




If you have never been to the Franklin Park Zoo, I highly recommend it. It was a great time.

Watermelon Anyone?

Once again, Lexi decided I don't feed her enough. So, she went into the refrigerator and helped herself to some watermelon. Good Grief!

A Little Witch Among Us!

Lexi really loves dressing up lately, so here she is dressed up as a witch. She walks around the house scaring us and then when we acted scared she says, "No, it's me Lexi!!".

How Cute!
