Trip to Indiana

This toad does indeed have a string tied to it. And it hopped that way too!! Austin and Lisa had this pet toad on a leash. And this is a cicada with string tied to it. Keegan used this to catch a fat catfish. I guess this just shows that you can tie string to pretty much anything.

Happy birthday Grandpa!!
We had a great time!!!

Trip to Indiana

Malaya spent every day just walking around the yard and exploring. She was having such a great time on her own, I actually got to read a few magazines! Sean caught this bass and the first thing Malaya did was squeeze it with both hands. Then she wiped the fish goo on Sean's shirt.
Malaya thought it was funny to ride on Ma!
Such a little lady.

Trip to Indiana

Malaya loved the airport!! As Sean said, it was like she was in Disney World. She walked all over with a huge smile on her face and was just fascinated by everything. The flight out to Indiana was perfect. We hopped right on the plane and took off. Malaya loved looking out the window and was just so happy to be there that she stayed right on my lap. As soon as we leveled off in the air she went to sleep and stayed asleep until we landed. Yes, Sean covered her with napkins.
Now, the trip home was a different story. The flight was delayed 2 hours. When we finally got on the plane, we sat for about 1 hour with no air conditioning. They were having trouble starting the engine. It was soooo hot they finally made us get off the plane and told us to go back into the terminal. And when we landed, we sat on the runway for about 15 minutes. Of course it felt like forever because we were exhausted. However, Malaya was absolutely EXCELLENT. Once again, she just loved walking around the airport and seeing everything on the plane. And when we were finally in the air, it was so late that she went to sleep. Such a good girl!!!
This is Malaya at 10:00 pm after we landed in Philly. She loved walking on the moving walkway.

other stuff

Malaya is always laughing at herself....she gets that from daddy.

Malaya will not eat watermelon if I cut it up. She has to eat it like this....like a big person.

Grandma and Grandpa visit

Grandma and Grandpa stopped by for a visit and had fun playing with Malaya. I wonder who was more exhausted by the end of the visit?

Loving the water

This is a travel bathtub I bought, but we decided to use it as a pool. Malaya absolutely loved it!!


Our friends belong to a swim club, so once in awhile we bring Malaya there for some fun.

Butterfly house

Opps, what's on your head lady?

Sean always says, "Malaya loves to hold hands and take long walks."

Ma and PaPa and I took Malaya to the Butterfly House at Springton Manor. She loved just being out and walking.

Zoo Trip

Look closely at the turtle. At first we thought maybe his shell broke and they put the strap on to hold it together. Then we realized that he is actually on a platform with wheels. I guess even old turtles need walkers sometimes!

Sean and I took Malaya to the zoo one Saturday. We had a great time!! It was so hot though, that the animals mostly just sat around. And that's all we felt like doing by the time we got home.

Snuggle bunny

Look closely and you'll see a little smile around her thumb.

Malaya is a funny girl. We have blankets, lambs, stuffed animals, and baby dolls. But she chooses to snuggle my bra strap. Here she is helping me with the laundry and finding something to snuggle.

building a swingset

I need the 1 3/4 inch screw over here!



Thank you daddy!!
