Morello Girls Visit...

Becky, my best friend from college, and her 2 year old daughter Sydney arrived Thursday for a visit to me and Riley! The girls are cute together and Sydney likes to help Riley with her paci and she plays really well with her! Becky and I have had the evenings to ourselves after the little ones have gone to bed...we have cooked good dinners, watched Olympics, and just caught up...it has been refreshing and relaxing! Looks like Sydney had fun relaxing on my gumdrop pillows too...


Today we ventured out to the Zoo...I have to admit I was not expecting much from the Little Rock Zoo because the last time I went it was pitiful...but my how they made improvements...it's looking very nice and they had lots of fun animals! The giraffe was my favorite! I think Riley was mesmerized most by the Bobcat...it kind of looks like Jack, my parents' cat!




Here's Riley checking out the fishies...

Here's Sydney talking to her daddy on the phone...




Cool Giraffe...


Huge Elephants...

The Gang...


After the zoo we went to Burge's to grab a bite and then to Cupcakes on Kavanaugh...a new cute cupcake eatery! I had the Mud Pie, Becky had plain 'ol vanilla, and Sydney had the Black Bottom...of course we all shared and tasted each one and Riley even got a swipe of marshmallow icing...YUMMY! It was a fun morning and now everyone is napping...except me!

Hey you two....it's Laura Smith typing since Tyler's gone TDY right now. I just wanted to say hi and let you know we've been checking out your blog online and have really enjoyed keeping up with you three by reading it and enjoying all your pictures. We decided to start up a blog of our own to help people keep up with our life since we're so far away.

Riley is such a cutie pie and it's great to see so many pictures of her on the blog. We'll definitely have to meet her someday...I hope it's sooner than later that we get to see you again.

Life is great for us -- Tyler is currently TDY for 2 weeks in Romania and then when he gets back we're going to Vegas for 2 weeks since he has an Air Force class there. Should be a fun time for us both and it will be good to see him again.

Our blog is: http://tylerandlaurasmith.blogspot.com/

Our co-email address is tylerandlaura@gmail.com

Please e-mail me with your contact information...for some reason we don't have either of your e-mail addresses anymore. Thanks!!

Talk to you soon,

Laura
