Spring Highlights



We tiptoed through the tulips at Thanksgiving Point in May.


 And since Benjmain is totally into animals... probably because he is one :)
We decided to grab as many cousins as were available and go to the ZOO.
 Yes, that is my SON wearing a PINK hat that his dad promptly scolded me for when he saw these photos.
 When my cute nieces are around I actually feel like sanity in public places is possible.

 I had never seen any official shows at the zoo before and we LOVED the bird show. Benjamin is really obsessed with animals at home and knows the names of some irregular animals. He knew and named the macaw, Cockatoo, Eagle... he may not be potty trained... and sure, he may still drink from a bottle now and again, but he knows most of the animals at the zoo! I haven't failed completely as a mother!

 Thank HEAVEN for family to help make up for my shortcomings.

 Especially for my husband who has more patience for me than Gandhi... and does crown molding in our bedrooms in his spare time. Go Mitch!!
