Monkeying Around

We did more this weekend than we have in months, hence the multiple blog postings in one day! I have been looking forward to this past Saturday morning for weeks now. We were scheduled to have Blake's next round of professional photos taken in honor of him turning one. I have loved his past sessions and was so excited to see how this one would turn out. We woke up early and got all beautified and on our way to Southlake...not a close drive mind you. Blake fell asleep 15 minutes before arriving to the studio. Not good. We woke him up when we got there and he was NOT happy about it. He proceeded to have a complete melt down when we tried to get him to sit for pictures and therefore the session was scratched. We'll have to try again later, but I was COMPLETLEY bummed out. Of course as soon as we left Blake was all smiles. So frustrating! Saturday we enjoyed a nice dinner (see post below) and today we went to the zoo! My roommate from college and her husband and 10 month old were in town for the weekend to see her parents so we arranged to spend the afternoon together. (I am kicking myself I didn't get a pic of us all together) We enjoyed lunch and then went to introduce our monkey to the real monkeys. Even without an afternoon nap by either of our children and both rather sleepy, the boys did great! They loved being outside and seeing all the different animals. It was fun to see our boys together and interacting. We were all convinced they'd both be sacked out by the time we hit the highway, but instead they spent the drive home talking (or squeeling) back and forth to each other the whole ride home. We can't wait to see our friends from Kansas again soon! Thanks for a great day!
