Confession time again

Dear blog-gods,

it has been over a month since my last post so I beg forgiveness and offer the following update to appease you . . .

Life still refuses to settle into a steady rhythm at our house as well all struggle to march to a different drum but the beats are at least starting to sync up a little. Alaina is getting more and more into her role of big sister everyday, instructing Kayla on how to best please big sister and enjoying it immensely when she gets the desired results.
Kayla is practically running around now and I've slowly caught on to the fact that childproofing was not a factor when Alaina was a baby which is why I'm struggling with door latches and keeping the carpet cleaner than the table.
But lets get a few pics out now for the photo starved . . .
2 Weekends ago, we headed up to the zoo. We arrived and departed in good time, spending 3 hours pushing and pulling one stroller and one wagon, because we learned on out last trip that a wagon is too close together for the girls, and one stroller guarantees a hurting back from carrying one of them around for an hour. At least I wizened up and ordered a canopy for the wagon.
Since we arrive within 1/2 hour of the zoo opening, we have a pretty easygoing trip for the most part. Alaina enjoyed the penguins and Kayla hollered for all she was worth at the gorillas that were getting a morning treat of apples and oranges.

And while that wasn't much of an update, my camera has decided to run out of batteries, so I'll just give up and post a short update.
