A new friend

Ally got to play with a great new friend, Colin. Adam, Gina, and Colin came to visit us on their way down to FL. We had a great dinner and then headed over to the park to work off dinner. We had a great time!

Easter

In between our trips from Indianapolis and Louisville, Easter came. It was a crazy weekend, but again it was perfect how it worked out. It was wonderful to be able to spend the holiday with some family. Originally we had planned on staying here in Atlanta for the holiday and then head up to Louisville after that. Well things changed when Butler was headed to the Final Four in Indianapolis. Thankfully we have great family and friends in Georgia, Indiana, and Louisville that understood why plans were changing suddenly and we were going to be heading up early and leaving family during the holiday. Anyway, it all worked out great and Ally even got to do an Easter egg hunt on a beautiful Easter Sunday. It was a wonderful day and I am so glad we got to spend time with family, even though it was crazy and full of Butler love too. Thank you to everyone who helped make this Easter holiday one to remember for ever.

March Madness

So... If you haven't heard Butler made it to the championship game. And yes, this was a huge part of our lives this past month. In fact it took up most weekends and the Thursday or Friday leading up to the weekend. WOW!!! It was just about awesome and I am even more excited that we had a wonderful little one to share it with. I mean we finally have someone in the family that we can try and convince to go to Butler. We already decided that we are going to do a yearly summer trip to Butler and get pictures next to the bulldog and the BU. You will see some from last year and get ready for some this year, b/c our little girl is going to be a bulldog!!! Ok we have a long time until then, but our fingers are crossed for someone to return to Indiana to the real school, Butler. Sorry Ben, Jess, and Neal Butler wins in our family. GO BU!!

Sometimes it pays to be an educator

This past Saturday was educator day at the zoo, which equaled a free day for me, Justin, and Ally to go to the zoo. The weather was awesome and it we had a great time. Ally did great by just cruising in her stroller checking everything out. I think she liked all of the other kids more than any animal we saw. I am afraid I am raising a people watcher. She loves to stare at people and sometimes she will even sing at them if they don't look at her. She had a great time and it was even better for us b/c it was free for everyone :). Here are a few pictures from the day.

Munch, munch, munch

Well, we are raising a munching machine these days. Allyson is eating and loving almost everything she can put her hands on. We took her off of baby food a few weeks ago and she has not looked back once. They started giving her more food at day care and she was eating it up, so we thought what the heck lets go with it. Let me just tell you that she eats better at day care than she does here. I know bad parents, but at least she is getting a good breakfast and lunch. Today she had fruit and yogurt for breakfast and then chicken teriyaki, brown rice, carrots, and pears for lunch. And guess what.... she ate all of it!!! Some other things she loves at day care are; peas, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, cinnamon toast, tomato soup, noodles, and pretty much everything they give her. We have found one thing she doesn't like though, eggs. She is not a fan and she will let you know that she doesn't like it. It is pretty funny! I have attached a picture of her eating blueberries. Yes, she did love these too!!
