We all enjoyed our time with Victoria last week. We had a full house for 10 days; they went by so fast. Victoria seems to be a natural model; fun, very good nature and knows when to smile…just enough to make the capture great. Here are a few samples of our last session with her. She is getting a lot more mobile so it was a bit more challenging to keep her within the background.
Hot and humid day at the Fort Wayne Zoo. The whole family made it and we had fun looking around the new areas of the zoo. For a small city, this zoo is very nice. Francesca really enjoyed herself with the sea lions and feeding the goats at the farm. Victoria will not remember this day since she is only 7 moths old, but have plenty of pictures to show her when she gets older. A few pictures of our day at the zoo to share with you all; hope you enjoy. To view more pictures click HERE.
Entering the Africa section of the zoo. They had cool mist all around as you entered in; it felt soooo good!
The while gang. Yes, we all have raccoon eyes, but feeling good.

Just hanging around - OK, waiting for some fresh lettuce...hey you. Be a sport and feed me please...
You guessed it - a Zebra! Notice the bird under it taking advantage of the shade her buddy is casting.
We were not the only ones hot and needing some quick cooling off
Victoria taking a quick nap - wish I could have been in a stroller...
Jellyfish are so cool...but maybe dangerous so stay away

Now this a Ferrari red bird!
Looking busy, but wonder if he has a clue as to what he is seeing.

This zoo is awesome! I loved visiting it with all the family.
While riding my bicycle early today I came across a group of tents with a group of re-enactors. They were camping next the the “Fort” (recreation of the original Fort the settlers in Fort Wayne – for more info click HERE). It was early in the morning so they were preparing breakfast. They were cooking nice thick bacon and pancakes in cast iron skillets over a hard wood fire. The aroma was great! Hope you enjoy your weekend!.

Victoria will be going back home tomorrow; we are going to miss her a lot. She has been a joy to have around. Below are some of the pictures I took of her today. She turned 6 months on June 19th. She is almost crawling and will be a tough one to catch in a week or so. Thanks for looking.

We are having lots of fun with our great niece Victoria. Victoria will be staying with us for just about three weeks. Today she turns 6 months and her mom (our niece Rafaela) misses her terribly. Rafaela asked us to watch her while she completes a two week training course in the U.S. Army – we are very proud of her for all her contributions to this country (while in Iraq and in her current US base). Below are a few snap shots I took of Victoria this week. She is so, so good. A true pleasure to have with us.
