Look! Adlai has friends, too!

It can be hard being a little sister...hand me down toys and clothes and even hand me down friends! It was high time Adlai got some friends of her own... other little sisters!

Thanksgiving in PA

We spent Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh with the macaleer's and Leonard's this year. I know, I know... You all have heard us say "we never travel for holidays"... we made an exception this year since our brother-in-law(who is doing his residency) actually got a holiday off! Who knows when that will happen again!?! The girls were good travelers (better than their crazy mom who can't stand to fly) and we had a nice time spending time with family... Leah even got to catch up wIth an old YL girl! Here are some pics from our trip...
The whole family to a trip to the zoo a couple days after thanksgiving
