Fun adventures at the park and outside fun!

Oh this Callahan boy

Could you die?

I could eat him alive

He was a beasty at target- and the only way we wasn't crying was if he had every ball in target in physical contact with him.

Callan's version of a selfie-- love this

My Ellie belly boo boo

She is so funny and often wears her flip flops like this.

I walked in to the front room and Elle's was asleep like this-- doesn't look all that comfy- but she is one sleepy girl

My very favorite garden fairy 

Just waking around with her best friend uncle josh 

Here she is celebrating spring because she found this flower- I love her!

Emmy the artist

Emmy made a thank you card for one of booky's neighbors-- who gave her a pink dress. Here is a pic of the card- notice Emmy with her dress and the neighbor- and Jesus (in blue) up above- and the 2 rainbows 

"Daddy's work" - built by Emmy 

Playing house with transformers 

Ems caught "Apple " her green chameleon.

Birthday cards for Ryan FHE

We came to Florida just in time to make Ryan a b day card and have it go out in the b day package from booky and papa!! What luck ;) 

Here is Emmy's amazing card ;) so so cute.

And here is Ellie's-"it's a girl" not sure what that has to do with b days-- but still- pretty darn cute-- interesting side note- she drew this entire picture upside down... What does that even mean? 

We had to say goodbye to Goldie the kitty.

It was a little bit sad-- but Miss Goldie declared war on her litter box and still wouldn't get along with pepper... 

Knowing that a newborn was coming my direction very soon - we decided that Goldie needed a new home. I know my limitations. And kitty poop and babies and toddlers do not mix :-) you're going better original plan of getting kittens when you're done with residency- and the girls were surprisingly supportive of that! They enjoyed her for the time that she was with us as illustrated with pictures of any dancing with her and we were so happy to found another little family that is absolutely in love with her. And next your good news is that we still have Pepper- our very best friend to take Showers with us whenever we want!

Time Out For Women

We drove down from Columbus to go to tofw-- it was amazing!!! 

Cavan loved it best of all- the Friday night music group was Hudson Lights-- and he crazy danced the whole time

We came home to this adorable view my dad and uncle Josh you were kind enough to watch the kids so that I could have a timeout I love them!

saturday was equally as amazing and bookie got to have some serious bonding time with Cavan as he kicked and punched his way through the day

I got to see many friends I should holiday being one of them and she always brightens my day

And Old friends the girl although in the left was my very best friend Beth when I was growing up from age 8 until 11 and I have not seen her since it was so fun!!

A quick hello to Annie and Ryan!

We just love Annie and Ryan for so any reasons-- one of them is the intense patience they have and willingness to play with the kids ;)

Another is that our reunions always involve Delish food ;) so fun- to have amazing friends!!

The Atlanta Zoo!!!

Jason got Friday off- combined with a no call weekend= a quick trip to Atlanta!!

We found free tickets to the zoo through our library -- so that's what we did ;) 

We surprised the kids-- we told them it was something fun- and kept giving clues - the biggest being their outfits.

They loved it!

 The one legged sleeping blew the girls' minds.

Because we got in free- we spend $2.00 on letting them feel "the winds of Africa" they adored it-- 

One of their favorite books right now is "Marsupial Sue" -- so, needless to say, the kangaroos were a hit. 

Cutie girl

The petting zoo had only goats-- but this one was named Ariel and was three-- both details salvaged the experience.

Callan played and ran and crawled through the wire fence to get to the rhino-- like I caught his foot-- the only thing left in safe territory... And then passed out-- he hasn't been in the moby in months (Cavan is too big) but I brought it for him to take a nap on Jason-- look how huge he is!! I love/hate how long he is. ;) 

The little birdies in the nest.

The parakeets where hands on and the kids thought it was paradise. Such a fun fun day-- Emmy had a running list of which animals she plans on owning when she grows up and did ask if we could buy the twin baby panda bears now... Bless her heart.
