Going to the zoo...
Wow, those bears are so big!
Can you see the River Otter's behind me?
Max & Rylie reunite.
Max and Mommy timeHappy Thanksgiving to all! This year has sure flown by quickly. We had the good fortune to meet up with Sara and Rylie last month. They flew up from Arizona to visit family and we got to spend some time with them. They were in Kazakhstan a month before us, we just missed meeting them over there but we have kept in contact ever since. The neat thing is Rylie and Max were in the same baby room but I don't think they remembered each other. At first we tried to get them to sit in a chair for photos and they were crying, it was so funny! After a morning of bubbles and snacks and lunch they were having fun together and we got another photo of them together. We only wish that Sara, Adam and Rylie lived closer to us so we could visit more often. It was great meeting you guys in person finally!
Last weekend we took Max to the zoo. It was a perfect day, no crowds and a nice breeze. I thought Florida had only one season.......hot! Max's new word is 'giraffe'. He has an animal puzzle (one that Sara and Rylie got us) and he just loves the giraffe. (I wonder if it has to do with his Halloween costume as well) Sadly the zoo did not have a giraffe, but that's OK, we saw plenty of animals and will return soon.
We are all getting excited about our trip back to California in a couple weeks. My Dad hasn't met Max yet as well as some other family members and friends. This will be our first plane trip since the 'big one' coming back from Kaz. I think since we are so much more bonded, it should go smoother. I will post on our trip when we come back.
Enjoy the holidays!
