Then and Now

Way back in October, I downloaded a bunch of pictures to our computer; two days later, it stopped working! Thankfully, we were able to save the pictures - Whew! So, here's a little glimpse at how much has changed in just four short months...

First solo trip to the zoo was a...

SUCCESS!!!
I was a little nervous about taking all 3 boys to the zoo by myself; but after a couple of rainy days, Max and I needed some outdoor fun!

After visiting some of Max's favorite animals (the lions, giraffes, elephants, and penguins) we went to the Children's Zoo for a picnic and playtime.

Max even showed Calvin and Miles how much fun statues can be.

There were no tears or tantrums during our trip, and all three fell asleep on our drive home! It looks like we'll be able to go back again soon!

Baby Koala

One of Max's favorite things to do right now is pretend he's a baby animal, and Douglas and I are the daddy and momma animals. When we're inside, the type of animal is constantly changing; but when we're in the backyard, he's always a koala in his tree!

Getting leaves to eat

Yum, Yum!

Finding the perfect tail for Eeyore

Besides being the sweetest little animals, he's also an excellent chef.

Pancakes for Momma

Popcorn and hot chocolate with marshmallows

Imaginary play is the best!!!
