Riverbanks Zoo

Our first trip to the zoo since arriving in NC. 
Some of the highlights according to the girls:

*Pony Rides
*Carousel
*Elephants
*Feeding the lorikeets (we were too late to feed the giraffes :-( )
*The aquarium (wait until they see the Georgia Aquarium in a couple of weeks!)

Sebastian loved being in his baby carrier!

Pop Pop and Mom Mom Visit NC

Pop-Pop Jim and Mom-Mom Dolores came to visit a couple weekends ago.  The girls were so excited to spend time with them and it is easy to understand why...playground time, restaurants, and trips to Target, combined with tickle sessions and cuddles..some of the girls favorite things!  Sebastian enjoyed meeting his grandparents as well.  We all can't wait to see them again!

One Mommy + Three Kids - Nanny/Any Kind of Help = No Time to Blog

The past two months have flown by and I have not had any time to update our blog!  Between the holidays, visitors, dealing with the kids (and Mommy) being sick,, a trip to the ER for the baby, etc., etc., time has gotten away from me.  I am going to make it a priority to get back on here now that I can catch my breath every so often.  However, I am going to gloss over the events that have taken place since I was last on here because, to be quite honest, I can hardly remember them now!

*Bianca's X-mas Play
*Emily's Birthday Party
*X-mas 2012
*Sebastian Turns 2 Months Old
*Sebastian Turns 3 Months Old
*The Girls' First Trip to the Nail Salon
*The Girls' First Real Snow Day

Ok, pictures not in chronological order but, just go with it...







They LOVED being pampered and thought we should go right back the next day!
The snowfall in Charlotte so far is perfect...just enough to make snowmen and snow angels but, not enough to require shoveling!



Ahhh...Christmas 2012...the year that our entire family (except Mark but, including Zarin) came down with the flu.  After many trips to the pediatrician, the ER for Sebastian, and lots of Tamiflu we finally began to recover.  You wouldn't really know anyone was sick from these pictures.








Happy 5th Birthday to Emily!
Allie and Ellia

Bianca and the "real" Tinkerbell, not to be confused with "fake" Tinkerbell!

Bianca's Xmas Play at School - she was the archangel and had a speaking part.  She was fantastic (although a little nervous)!!!
