Hot, Hot, Hot

Alan and I looked at the calendar one day and realized that if we wanted to take the kids to the zoo this summer, this weekend was our only chance for quite some time! So we packed up the kids, the wagon, the stroller, food, goodies, etc on the hottest day of the year thus far and headed to the Columbus Zoo. Despite the heat, the kids did fairly well. We packed plenty of water and Marissa munched on ice cream. Marissa's favorite animals were the penguins and Jake's seemed to be the colorful fish in the aquarium and the monkeys. (They seemed to like him too!)

I always look forward to going on special trips with the kids such as this one - I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves.... best of all - we ended the trip with a yummy dinner at City Barbeque!! :)

She Just Keeps Growing Up...

Where did the time go? It doesn't seem possible that my little girl is already taking swimming lessons! Marissa graduated from the Pike swimming class at the YMCA this past Friday. Here is some footage as well as a couple pictures. :)

Engagement Session

Our wedding photographer, Sharon (http://sharonelainephotography.blogspot.com) took some excellent photos of Alan and I, but check out our sweetpeas...... their pics are too cute! I'll treasure them forever, I can't wait to get some of these photos printed out and hung around the house. :)

Welcome to Our Family's Blog!

Hi! Welcome to our blog! We're the Seger family - Alan, Jamie, Marissa and Jake. As of our first post, Marissa is four and Jacob (Jake) is 9 months old! Wow, how time flies! We're hoping that our blog will help us keep family and friends up to date with how we're doing and keep us in touch with them as well!

Alan and I are getting married on September 20th of this year! It's fast approaching and we're working hard to make sure everything comes together on time. We'll be posting wedding updates here too, so be sure to check back closer to the "big day" for final arrangements (our guests will receive their invitations in the mail sometime in July).

And of course, we'll be frequently posting updates on how the kids are doing with lots of posts, comments, and pictures. They are, after all, our world! :)

So......... here we go - into the "blogging" sphere!!

A Much-Needed Getaway.......

In May, Al and I took a little trip to San Antonio! I attended the fantastic CYFAR national conference and Alan was able to get a relaxing vacation out of it! :) San Antonio is such a beautiful city. There was so much to see and do - from the Riverwalk to The Alamo (we probably visited the Alamo five times!!!) Not only was the conference excellent, the trip gave Al and I some much-needed alone time. We missed the kids terribly, but it felt good to get away. I thought I would share some pictures.
