The Blog Updating

As you are aware, the blog is a wee bit behind. In order to get it back up to par (or at least within a week of current), I am going to be posting pictures with brief descriptions and will go back when I can to add more story. But everyone really just wants to see the pictures, so I'll work on that part first :)

Happy Birthday, Ren!

Time for another cul de sac birthday party! Happy 6th birthday, Ren!

Ben's Earned Trip To the Zoo

The second week of school got off to a bit of a rough start for Ben, with two yellow days (it goes green, yellow, red). He was not alone, as most of the boys in the class had the same issues according to the class email that was sent out. So to reign back in, Ben could earn a trip to the zoo if he got all greens for a week. He worked hard and pulled it off, so he got a special, Ben only, trip to the zoo. He got to do whatever he wanted which included feeding the parakeets, finally seeing the baby orangutan (for a brief second), finally getting to see the red pandas, and seeing the bird show, which we had never done before. All around, it was a good day :)

The Evolution of Picture Taking Faces

Just so much cuteness (or ridiculousness) 







Fun at the 577 Foundation

Nick and I spent a morning at the 577 Foundation with Julia and Ben taking some photos. Got lots of cute ones of the kids.
