Since we've been back...

It has been really hard to get back into the swing of things after Christmas vacation. I think the main reason is Daddy has been extremely busy! The day we got back, Daniel had to go to a campout with the boy scouts. Then we had (almost) a week of somewhat normal activity, when Daddy had to leave for a week to go present at a conference in San Diego. The kids and I tried to make the best of it, but we are extremely happy to have him back again!

Heather graduated from nursery. I can't believe we have a sunbeam!

Just shovelin' the walks!

The glove goes ON your hand.

What is it with my kids and gloves...

Yeah...I got awesome mom points that day.

Hammock under the table= new reading nook and hours of fun.

Just hangin' out!

While Daniel was gone, we went to the Zoo! It was so much fun! Here we are petting sharks.

The grizzly bear

Josh had some very close encounters with a tiger.

Very close...she was probably thinking they were for lunch.

Yikes!

Josh was thrilled! This was definitely his favorite part of the day.

Heather was a good helper

Priceless

Heather loved the walruses and the dolphin show.

The happiest Josh had been since we had been back from Christmas vacation.

Heather and I also made hair clips. Heather entertained herself by sticking feathers in her hair.

Lots and lots of feathers

It's the simple things in life.
