Baltimore Aquarium!











On Saturday we took a family trip to Baltimore to go to the National Aquarium. We knew Payson would love all of the fish! Although he did like them, we think his favorite part were the glass tubes full of bubbles! We had such a great time walking through the Austrailian Desert, a rain forest and then heading into the ocean. We got to see a lot of cool animals and some fish that we have never heard of. We even got to see a dolphin show under water! Strollers were not allowed so Shayne got to carry Payson in a backpack. Payson thought he was pretty big up on Daddy"s back! We had such a fun time but by the end of the day, Payson had fallen asleep in the backpack....he was exhausted! And so were we, but it was well worth it!

8 Months Later.....


Ok, after lots and lots of harassment I decided we should do some major updating...and I promise we will stay up to date this time! Shayne finally graduated and comissioned as a 2nd Lt. in the Army from MSU in may and we then began our new jouney! Shayne is currently training at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, MD until November, so we are taking advantage to explore the east coast. We have already had the oportunity to go to Washington DC to Capital Hill and see all the sights there. That was definitly amazing and we had a great time! This weekend we are headed to Baltimore to go the National Aquarium. We think that Payson will really enjoy all of the fish.....Speaking of Payson, he is getting soo big! He started crawling a few weeks ago and now is pulling himself up onto things! His Daddy thinks its time for him to start walking but mommy is not ready for that yet :( But since he is growing so fast, I am so grateful that I get to stay home with him and watch him every step of the way. So for now we are just enjoying life ( and being very home sick) and taking advantage of all this time we get to spend together! I also promise that new pictures will be coming very soon!
