The Buerglers

A few weeks before I had Maggie, my nephew Zachary came to town to stay a week with my parents.  My mom and I thought it would be fun to take the kids down to the Georgia Aquarium. It's one of the activities on our Funday List too! They're the perfect age to start doing trips like this.  Evie and I had fun peeking in the touch and feel animal area. Then we were on to the beluga whales. I'll be honest, I think they're kind of nasty looking so I didn't take any pictures of them. Evie was over stimulated from the crowds.  And she hated every second in the stroller.  I gave her a snack and pulled her up to the colorful tropical fish aquarium to calm her down a bit. It seemed to work.  Seriously. The aquarium was so crowded it was miserable.  I was over stimulated.  We had a pretty miserable time, which is why I didn't take pictures for the middle part of the day.  The four of us ate lunch.  The kids ran around for a bit. ...

Once again, we have Amy from The Charming Blog to thank for beautiful family photos.  One of the things I loved about this session was that we'd do a posed shot or two and then she's just capture us doing normal things -- wrestling with Evie, burping Maggie, etc.  We had a great time.  And we can't thank Amy enough for capturing Maggie's first week!
