A Trip to the Zoo and a Ponytail

I realize we have talked a lot about Isabelle lately, but we have had some other big news items take place in the Wagner home over the past week.

Josie went to the zoo last week with the Gregory Family. It was her first trip out of town without us and she had a blast. I think she learned a new word - orangutan - because she kept saying it after she got back. She still talks about going to the zoo. It was so special for her and she felt like such a big girl getting to go away without us. Thank you Lucas, Meghan and Lizzy for making such a special memory for Josie! It helped us tremendously as it also gave Evelyn some one-on-one time time with Mommy, which she desperately needed and wanted. Meghan did a great blog post on it if you are interested in seeing more pictures from the day.

And in other big news - Evelyn wore her first pony tail last Wednesday. What a big girl she is and the pony tail only made her look even more grown up. She was so proud of her new hair do. She kept turning in circles modeling it for us.

A quick picture before they walked out the door. Don't you love the choke hold...I mean hug... that Lizzy is giving Josie.


Meghan thought we should take a picture without the choke hold pose.

Kevin had to hold her still from spinning so I could take a quick picture. Can't you just see the excitement on her face?
