The one thing that people forget to mention when you get married is how awesome it is to gain new siblings. Sure, they are your spouse's siblings, but they become yours. I feel so lucky to have gained two new sisters in my life. We may all be at different stages in life, but regardless, we can all learn from each other's experiences and mistakes and that is something I love about having new family members. Jordan and I are especially lucky at this time in our life because we get to be so close to his sister Taniel and her adorable family. We live about 25 minutes away from each other and I wish it was closer! She has two children that we absolutely adore and can't get enough of! Nothing beats seeing the excitement on Abby's face when we surprise her and show up at their house.
I had the day off on Wednesday and got invited to go to the zoo with Taniel and her kids. We had so much fun! Abby was so excited to growl at the lions, except when she thought the glass wasn't there and that they could actually attack her :) It was fun watching her run around and get excited about each different kind of animal. Little Micah was even interested, especially in the water animals. The favorite part of the day was probably the train ride around the zoo. Abigail couldn't control her smile! That smile quickly faded when we tried to take a selfie with her though. Lesson of the day: Don't interrupt a train ride with a selfie. There is no need for such foolishness :)

This is the closest we could get to a selfie with her. Love this little girl!
