My Cousin's Wedding!

Over Labor day weekend, we went to Charlotte, NC to take part in my cousin's wedding. My family and I had the opportunity to spend some wonderful time together for 5 days. The wedding was wonderful...we all had so much fun with countless after parties and countless drinks:) It is just so nice to see two people fall in love.

I scheduled for us to go take professional family pictures for FALL but we failed. Aliyah did NOT want to cooperate at all. She woke up from her nap so early, the whole day was VERY challenging!!!

Aliyah's new obsession!!!


Aliyah is obsessed with the iPAD! Daddy downloaded apps just for her like ABC's/colors/spelling/coloring, but also loves piano and animal noises! J and I have concerns about how much she wants it...first thing every morning, before bed....before she leaves the house...she always comes into our room where we charge it and asks for "cow". We started limiting her to 5-10 min per day or maybe 15 min:)! Yeah she calls it "cow" since the first time she used it was when she heard animal noises:)But I can honestly say she uses it better than I can...flips through the many pages of apps, adjusts the screen size, restarts the programs, etc...Hopefully the benefits are outweighing the negatives!
