While Daddy's Away: Day 2

The day started with Nathan sleeping in later than usual. I listened at the door every once in awhile, and when he finally woke up, he was covered in poop.... Awesome. It must be a rite of passage for moms.


A bath and a scrubbed playpen later, and we had a happy little boy.



Then we went to the library. We thought it would be fun for the kids, but Ellie and Nathan basically threw fits the entire time. It was strange. Those poor kiddos. They're still getting used to having their daddy gone.


After naps, Ellie and Evie read stories with Grandma...


They looked at scrapbooks and refused to look at the camera.


Evie loves Jonah. She is always asking me to hold him. And Jonah found his hands today. He has gagged himself several times today already.


Nathan felt better after his nap (compared to the fits at the library) and he actually ventured off to play by himself. That's the first time he's done that since we have been here. I'm glad he is getting more adjusted to his surroundings!

A Visit from Grandma

     My mother-in-law and sister-in-law and her baby came into town last weekend, and it was so fun to see them! Be warned - there are lots of pictures! I guess that is what happens when your brother-in-law is pretty much a professional photographer. It's nice to have him around, because then all the pictures of our family won't look like the one I took (I'll let you guess which one I took. Hint - it's the first one.)


All of the cousins were able to get together to celebrate a birthday. 


Then we made a trip to the zoo! I may be a little spoiled, because when I think "zoo" I think of the Phoenix Zoo. And the Tautphaus Park Zoo is a nice little zoo, but it definitely isn't comparable to the Phoenix Zoo. Like I said, spoiled. The kids loved it, though! And I love walking around outside when the weather is so nice.


Just standing around in the shade. It was a perfect day.


Looking at the tiger.


With Grandma. I feel like Ellie is intruding on a Kodak moment in this one... Oh well.


Sam must have said something he shouldn't have...


That boy loves his daddy.


Mom, look! Goats!


Hmmm, what's in here?


She LOVED the monkeys. They scared her a little bit when they got too close, but this picture basically captures her captivation with them.


Penguins!


Handsome boy. He loved the zoo just as much as any of the older kids.

I just love summer in Idaho!

Love,
