Dad (Brett)
All around rockstar geek. Brett enjoys his job as a Clinical Data Manager (helping research medical breakthroughs at Celgene); in his time off he enjoys reading books, watching movies, and learning new tricks on his camera and in Photoshop. He absolutely adores his wife and 2 daughters.

Mom (Erin)
Complete supermom. Erin loves her job as a Youth Field Researcher (aka 'mother'); in her plentiful spare time (ha!) she enjoys sleeping, re-reading Twilight or Harry Potter, and cuddling with Brett.

Aeriana ('Wacko', 'Princess')
Hybrid Angel/Devil. Aeriana loves her mommy and daddy, each of whom she loves to test at times and pretend innocence at others. A veritable sponge, Aeriana wants to do anything she sees an adult doing; she loves babies and especially adores her little sister, taking great care of her every need.

Zoe Jean ('Stinker', 'Cutie')
Growing fast, Zoe wants to be just like her big sister. Very goal oriented, she'll find a way to get that toy she's been looking at. She loves her pacifier and can't help but snuggle up to her blanket. Zoe is as relaxed as they come, she just loves chillin' out and watching TV.

The beach and the zoo

This summer we took Aeriana to the beach for the first time (yeah I know kinda lame that it took us this long, but well we like our air conditioning what can I say) with our good friends Matt and Renee. It was so much fun and I want to go more often. Aeriana loved the water. We raced down to the waves and she was absolutely fearless. She practically dove into the waves. We had to hold on to her just so she wouldn't go too deep.



Now when it came to the sand... that was another story. She wanted to play with the beach toys so much but couldn't figure out how to make it not stick to her. Awww, just like mommy, she hates to be sticky. :)



Another daring weekend out of the house we had, we went to a local zoo thinking that Aeriana would love it. We tried looking at bears...



And we tried hanging on the railings...

but no matter what we saw she could not be impressed. She would have rather played with the buckle on the stroller the whole time. Silly girl. I thought kids were supposed to love animals, be afraid of the ocean, and love getting sticky? Well not our girl! I love her face in the picture below, you can just tell she is trying really hard to get the two pieces together.


Well I guess this is how we learn.

Beach = Good

Zoo = Bad

Lydia was obsessed with her stroller at the zoo too! It drove me nuts! All these animals and she just wants to push her stroller around, looking at the ground.

Let's both try again this summer and compare notes! =)
