Zoo Fun

We had never been to the zoo just as a family of 3. :) Milo and I go often and the 3 of us have gone with other family members, but we had never just gone by ourselves....our little family. So, yesterday we did and it was so much fun! :) There was a moment that hit me when I was pushing the stroller, Matt was carrying the camera and we were headed down a dirt path to go see the elephants. I looked down and watched as Milo trudged along beside us full of excitement and independence. It really hit me that these were the moments that I have longed and ached for. I reminded myself to soak up each and every one because as I've learned this year ~ those moments pass way too quickly. So, here's a few little pics from our day at the zoo. :)

Oh my goodness those are so cute!!! Looks like you had a really good time! It is nice to be able to do things as a little family. I think we all forget that sometimes. :) I don't know if Cory, Wyatt and I have ever gone to the zoo by ourselves. What a nice way to spend a weekend day. I love you! I love Milo's face in the picture of the two of you looking through the hole.

The zoo is so much fun. I love watching the children's faces light up as your pictures show of Milo.

Oh I love the one of you and Milo peeking through the tree, so cute! Sounds like you had a great day at the zoo. I totally know where you're coming from with the "these moments pass all too quickly" thing. It's so true. Strange, we know that before we become parents, but somehow watching a little person grow and change makes the passing of time that much more striking.

Hugs to you and your beautiful little family of three! :)

How sweet! Love your pics, Jamie...especially the peeking through the hole one:)...your words brought tears to my eyes...I do the same thing...stop and realize that "these are the moments" we dreamed of for so long...sounds like a song:)...think there is a quote about this somewhere...hugs,

HI Jamie, Me again:)...I was just checking my favorite blogs this morning and looked at your zoo pics, then I glanced at the comments to make sure I left one. I had to smile because I referenced the song here that I just wrote a post about...without realizing it:)...Guess it applies often:)...thank you for your sweet comments...Looking forward to a post about Milo's B-Day soon...Wow, where does the time go?! Hugs, Lori
