Welcome Baby J

Lil' D's first Baby Shower for Baby J. His favorite part was the food, but he also enjoyed the games. The "see how fast you can put a diaper on a baby" game was Lil' D's favorite. He thought all the adults were silly...until he got to try, too!

Saturday Adventures

Beautiful Spring Days! All too quickly the HOT, HOT temperatures will be here. As our BUSY schedule allows, we are trying to enjoy as much of the outdoors as possible.
 A little hike at Hornsby Bend. See the beautiful hummingbird?
Followed by a little picnic at Zilker Park.
Lil' D made lots of doggie friends.
Slack Rope walking
And an evening at the Dellagiacoma's Barn Party! Lil' D had a great time chasing chickens!
And petting baby goats
And miniature horses..."Come say hi?"
Showing sweet M how to chow down on some corn.
Sweet dancers!
Taking a dance break. When I got Lil' D's attention and asked him to dance with me he said, "No, Mommy! I doing yoga!"

Observations From Today

How did I ever live without a digital SLR camera? Ours has been not working for 3 weeks, and I am miserable. Also, just sitting on the shelf does not seem to be the solution to fixing the camera.

I started not feeling well yesterday...for the first time in a long time. Ugh. I greatly dislike being sick. Also, Lil' D has an upper respiratory infection. And missed his music program at school today!

I am thankful to work from home and for the mute button on my phone so that when I almost burst into tears on a conference call today, it mostly went unnoticed. My utter frustration with how the meeting was going, however, I think was clear.

As long as we avoid the bewitching hour, Lil' D is pretty good at the grocery store...when he is not trying to eat everything in the basket. Luckily he is easily bribed [read that: distracted] with cheese, Triscuits, bread, fruit, or raisins. Depending on how much shopping we need to do, he can make it through all the bribes.

Denver Zoo

Our trip to the Denver Zoo with Jeremy.
The animal Lil' D wanted most to see on our zoo visit...the giraffes!
Lil' D learning the difference between leopards and cheetahs.
Gibbon acrobatics
Hippos are crazy big!
