Baby book comes to life:


These are some pictures I took at the Phoenix Zoo this week. The zoo was practically empty so we had the chance to really see the animals up close. That little monkey and his monkey friends were running right past our legs! And we made sure not to taunt the tiger so he didn't come out and eat us like what happened at the San Diego zoo recently. Some people are, well, not smart. Ethan made connections between some animals he's seen in his books too. I love it that he's learning so FAST!!!

Looks like you guys had fun! I love how you did the picture with the giraffes--color and black and white! Are you feeling any better? I hope so! Lets take the boys to the park next week if you are feeling better!

I love the photo with the giraffes, very cute.

Random memory alert...I remember when we were all living in Chandler and I was just pregnant with Matthew, we were at IHOP before going to a movie, and we were talking about baby names and you guys called dibs on Ethan. So when I first found your blog and saw you had a son named Ethan, I thought it was so cute and it brought back a lot of fun memories and a sad one (poor Dexter!).
