big sigh

my sis & bil just left. it was such a nice little visit. pumpkin loves them so much- her auntie makes her giggle just by looking at her & her uncle found out she loves having him sing to her while being held. we all went to the aquarium & then out to dinner yesterday. such a good time- even if we had to stand in line almost 45 minutes just to get in! next time we will pay for the convenience of buying online & skipping that with a baby!
i also had yet another obnoxious 'i love my sling' moment. since we were there for almost 2-1/2 hours & it takes about 20 minutes to get there- my lovely chunker was getting restless as her meal was fast approaching. rather than try to crowd into the back seat of the car & be most uncomfortable- i opted for a nice wooden bench on the waterfront to nurse her. i'd never nursed her in the sling & after a momentary adjustment period it was sooo easy & i was able to be hanging out with everyone without hanging out in front of all the families leaving the aquarium with their kiddies & cameras. not that i am shy at all- i really couldn't care less, but i know it could make for some interesting family photo background shots!

well- pumpkin is a little cranky since she's been off her nap schedule again- but before i go- here's a couple shots from yesterday:

a really awesome squishy coral or anemone- not quite sure which...
squishy shiny pink thing

family portrait in front of the oh so awesome cheesy fake coral!

I love the family photo! That's awesome. It makes me want to come up there and take pictures of the three of you, too! It sounds like you guys had a great visit together. And I *love* aquariums. That squishy-coral thing is really cool.
