Zoo Atlanta

We had a fun family morning at the zoo today. Here are some photos of the zoo, along with a very sweet video of our little animal lover. She also hugged some pigs and sheep, in addition to half a dozen goats at the zoo's petting zoo.

Talking in sentences

Stella started putting words together this week, which is exciting to hear. Her first sentence was "Bye bye, choo choo!" to a train we drove by. Next was "Bye Bye Dada" in the morning and "Baby LiLi" (Elias), which is her babysitter Deb's infant son. She's in love with him! Today I heard "Bye Bye Poo Poo" (Thanks Nana) and I swear she looked at me at the park this morning and said "Go Home". So we did.

We're having amazing weather down here and I keep getting pink from all the sun - it's just too early to think about sunscreen. One week from now, though, Rob and I will be basking up the sun on a Mexican beach, so I'd better get used to the thought of slathering up or else we'll be burnt toast!

Here are some pics from my New Orleans trip two weekends ago. Alligators, Bourbon Street and crawfish boils. Good times.

Wild Things and swagger wagons

It was quite a week for the Coles! I had a job interview plus some good news on the consulting front, and we bought ourselves a minivan. 8 seats, 8 cupholders...4 just for the front two seats. Life is sweet.

Jess and I took the van to the GA Aquarium today to make Stella's dreams of fish come true. As suspected, she was in heaven. Literally went in the door screaming "FISH!!!!!"

Here are some pics of her playing in Daddy's static-y sofa fort last weekend and the aquarium today.
