a little night-night reading

Lolli

Not sure how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop - ava never made it. But it sure was fun trying!

Happy 60th Dad!

We got to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday this weekend! A fun time was had by all. Did I mention we all went out as grown-ups with NO kids? I can't even think of the last time that happened. Happy Birthday to a great man! love you Dad.


















It's the thought that counts...





















It was supposed to look like this (instructions at bakerella)...





















but somewhere between the fridge and the final butter-cream coat of icing...something happened. Ahhh well - there's always next year.

Spring has sprung...

at least it has in our yard. Hundreds of purple crocus cover our yard and are a perfect example of the beauty of life after a long, dead winter.


















































And here's another pretty perfect example...

Zoo Time.

We went to the zoo on Sunday afternoon with some of the family. It was a fun day with my Mom and Dad and my sister Megan and her family - Jim, Abby, Chris and Alex!
























Up Close and personal...































































































And at the end of the day we had some tired little animals coming home with us...
