Zoo

We bought an annual pass to the Colorado Springs Zoo so we can take Samuel as often as we like and for as long or short as we like. He really loves animals, especially the giraffes. He enjoys the real ones, but his favorite thing to do at the zoo is to touch all of the the giraffe statues.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Samuel has some Irish in his background so we thought we'd give him a taste of what St. Patrick's Day is all about. We went to the parade in Colo. Spgs on Saturday. It was a beautiful day! We watched it from the staging area (a block before the official parade started). While waiting, the cows from Chick-fil-A & the chickens from Wild Wings n things danced to "YMCA". Sort of ironic since Chick-Fil-A's theme is "Eat Mor Chiken"! Very entertaining!

Samuel's favorite word...

BALL!!! He says it ALL the time...

St. Louis

Samuel & I traveled to St. Louis last week to visit my family & a few friends. We had a great time & Samuel did VERY well on the plane both ways! Addy stayed at my parents house most of the time so her and Samuel could spend a lot of time together. She was quite the little helper! On Wednesday we enjoyed a nice day at the St. Louis Zoo with Brad, Addy & my mom. Samuel loves animals and enjoyed Uncle Brad showing him around. Brad & I took Samuel & Addy to the Magic House on Saturday which was a little chaotic with kids running around everywhere but fun. Oh, & I got together with some old friends, Susan, Marcy & Tami at Dressel's Pub in the Central West End. It was fun to catch up with them!
