Lovin’ the animals!

The girls have been completely delighted that a few blocks from our house, there are animals!  Their favorites seem to be the piggies. Jada can even say “piggy”.

“Do you think we should pet him, Jada?”

(We weren’t directly behind the horse, don’t worry!)

“Yee-Haw!  We love the fair!”

Out of the blue, a lady came over and without asking, grabbed Jada and walked away. Really?! Jada, my little girl who gets scared of even people she knows!  This woman had the idea that we needed to get a picture of the girls on her daughter’s horse. “She’s never had twins ride her before”!

We laughed, tried to be gracious, took the picture and as we were walking away heard, “Who is the Mom?”  “I am”.  The lady looked a bit more and Jon volunteered, “and I’m the Dad”.  She looked at us and said, “How’d they get dark”?  We told her it came as a complete surprise to us. 

Just kidding. We explained a bit about adoption and then bee-lined out of the horse barn. :)

It was getting cold so we decided to head home.  The girls hit their second wind and both just wanted to give Daddy kisses! :)

Daddy didn’t mind one bit!

And to make the evening complete, Tiff stayed with the girls after they went to bed and Jon and I had our 2nd official “date night” since we have been parents!

too funny - I can't imagine the comments that come your way with a dark baby. We've had a few so far and it definately is best just to laugh it off. :) Those girlies are too stinkin' cute!!
