Como Park and Zoo

I can't remember the last time I was at como park/zoo, but we headed there today for a picnic in the park and a little zoo time. It couldn't have been a more perfect day, nadia slept in until 9am while we got ready, then she stayed awake, loved laying on a blanket in the shade at como park while we grilled, and she slept the entire time we were at como zoo. The new polar bear exhibit is wonderful, the boys got to see the bear swim right in front of them, and then we took in "sparky the seal" show. Mommy and daddy are exhausted, and it's just the start to a fun filled weekend. Better get to bed.

Nadia loves her bouncy now, she just kicks her feet and smiles and coos. :)

Nadia's first jean skirt - her "birthday party outfit"!

Today Kobe helped out since Nadia was crying and gave her a book - it actually worked, she stopped crying, and the book stayed on, even though the swing was in full motion! Amazing.

Brennan is 4?

My baby boy is 4. We had Brennan's "zoo" party on saturday. Thank you everyone for coming, brennan was so excited that he got to open the door for everyone, it was his special day. Then on tuesday, his real birthday, daddy met us for lunch at BK and then we had birthday sundays after his birthday supper which he requested "breakfast" - pancakes, eggs, bacon and fruit. Happy birthday bren, mommy and daddy luv our little boy.

simplify

Pastor Bill talked about "simplify" one sunday in church. Appreciate the little things, the things God puts all around us - on the way home this is what we saw in the field as we drove by.

antique??

Can clothes be an antique?? If so, this sleeper is one, it is 40 years old, worn by my oldest sisser, and the most amazing part is that the zipper still works perfectly!!
