Fun at Maymont

Mark was baptized on January 17, so all of our family could be able to attend. Blake's side of the family spent saturday in Richmond. We were fortunate enough to have one of the few 50 degree days so we could be outside and not get cabin fever! We went to Maymont! I forgot how cool that place was and have a feeling that Mark will be spending a lot of time there with us in the future. If you live in Richmond, or even near Richmond, it's an awesome place...especially in the spring. Here are some pics of the day.

thanks to parenting expert - Susie for telling us we could turn Mark around. He loved to look at everything!

cool place to run through

Jon & J.D. in front of a sign for Sicca deer. They are native to Assateague Island. No, Jon isn't from there but close enough. Eastern Shore! Holla!

Maymont even has horse & carriages. Is there anything this place doesn't have?

Goats. Who else remembers the petting zoo at Busch Gardens?

The BIG rollover

Ok. It's official. Blake and I are slackers when it comes to the blog. But that's not because of the lack of pictures and videos. Most of you may have already seen a video but this is a different one with Dad's voice instead of Mom's:) Mark first rolled over on January 13...so a little over 3 months. He is growing so fast and seems to have a mind of his own and is easily frustrated when he doesn't get what he wants immediately. Hmmm.....I wonder where he gets that from! (hint...it's not Blake!!) Lucky for us, his favorite past time appears to be smiling!!!
