Silly Emmy

These two are not the zoo, obviously. I had Emmy's hair in braids and took them out. She loved her hair that way, she wanted to show everyone. And note the beautiful artwork on her legs--that's the place she likes to color most. Silly girl.












So, one morning when Chris had gotten up for work (early shift 5am), he had covered Kaien back up with his blanket and was going to cover Emmy too...Only he couldn't find her. He had to open the door and turn the hall light on, only to find her snuggled up in the DIRTY clothes basket!! I couldn't believe it! She must have gotten up in the middle of the night and thought she was climbing into bed with us. Oh so funny!!

Fun at the Zoo

We went to the zoo just recently and we had a blast (well, I did anyway)! The kids were having a lot of fun until close to the end...they were hungry (as was I)! The tigers were so neat, they seemed to pose for the pictures and everything. The lions were really neat. We even heard the male lion roaring!! Way cool! It was so loud, and I don't even think it was roaring it's loudest. The kids liked all the slides and the toys to play on the best...the animals came second! Funny! Well, anyway, here are some pictures from the zoo:








































As you can see, the kids liked the non-animal things at the zoo the best. I put the tiger picture in there because it is so cool! I just realized there are only 2 animal pictures. How funny!!

In one of these Cameron asked Kaien if he would tie his shoe for him. Kaien said, "Oh, sure." It was so cute!

The one with the squirrel was outside the zoo while we were eating lunch. This squirrel came right up to us, not shy at all. Took a chip right from my hand! Cool.

News! News! News!

Hello everyone!! The weeks have been kind to us! Chris has a job!!! Wahoo! He is working at a verison call center. Not very good pay, but we are very grateful to have a job. He even gets sick pay and paid vacation!! Awesome, huh?! We will be using the vacation pay for camping this summer!! FUN!

So, about my baby...It's a boy!! Yay! I am feeling very well, the only thing is I am so much bigger than usual. I am only six months along and I look as though I should be giving birth in the next few weeks!! So, so big. The funny thing is, everyone always comments that I am so small. That is always nice to hear.


Now for some fun news. I got my hair cut!! 14 inches!! Now it is very short. But I love it--and Chris loves it too (that is what counts for me)! I was really nervous at first, as I always am, but it all turned out well. I wasn't sure I liked it so short, but I got loads of compliments from my family right off and when I came home Chris said he loved it too!! That made things all good for me. Here are some "before" and "after" pictures: Sorry the before isn't a very good one.
