our new house came complete with a slide/swing set and we replaced one of the old swings with a girly pink toddler swing (thanks mimi and grandpops!). alexandra enjoyed some hang time in her new swing - i could not seem to get a good picture of her smiling, for some reason. she alternated between looking relaxed and enjoying the breeze, and kicking her feet madly and laughing her little head off....oh, how i love that sound!
**please ignore the ugly, bare, sorry looking fence behind the swing set - we plan on covering it with lovely wisteria to cover up all the drab!**
we followed alexandra's swing time with a walk around the neighborhood. we really do love our new neighborhood (i promise there will be pictures of the new house in future posts!), and our neighbors are so friendly. pearl had a particularly good time on our walk - she met some new friendly dogs and got a lot of love from one family who told us they had just lost their first dog, a lab that looked just like our pearl, in february. seriously, the wife was almost in tears looking at pearl and called pearl by her old dog's name a couple of times. it was very sweet. after all of that exercise and attention, pearl was wiped out.
i love how she is looking straight into the camera in that second picture as if to say, "seriously, mom, get that damn camera out of my face!" (oh, and you can see a glimpse of one of our new great room chairs in the first photograph).
i think both my girls will sleep well tonight ... (wait, i just jinxed myself, better go knock on wood).

i just looked online last night at those swings. they are really cute and alexandra is even cuter!
i'm loving this weather right now
I love your Pearl pics. While we were in Gulf Shores my parent's beloved Golden Retriever Elliott passed away. I keep thinking I'll get them a white lab, my mom has always wanted one.
I wish we had trees big enough to hang a swing. Hope to get a swingset soon, I can imagine both my girls would enjoy it.
PS LOVE that chair.
Looks like Alexandra is adjusting to her new home just fine! I'm so envious of the swingset - what a deal. Oh and I love the new chair too.
"mings" are a bit hit for sophie right now too. there are usually a lot of tears involved when it's time to get off and let someone else have a turn. how lucky are you to have one right in your backyard!
looove the chair!!
She is just getting cuter!
Also, LOVE the green chair in Pearl's photo session. So fun!
Love the chair!! BTW, Jeremy is is becoming semi-pro photog. He is only charging for prints at this point to build up his portfolio. Let me know if you want to book a session for Miss Alexandra!
