Trip to the zoo with the Peterman’s

Zoo with Peterman's 2010

Click the photo above to see all the photos I took with my new camera. All I have to say is check out that “zoom, zoom, zoom”

We are so excited to have the Peterman’s here with us on their road trip to/through Texas. We headed to the zoo and the weather was glorious and it wasn’t crowded at all.  The big excitement was to see the zoo’s new exhibit MOLA! And it was totally awesome and much better than the old herpetarium. Nadia even touched a snake! (after mommy did first)

It was a wonderful day and the girls were exhausted by the time we got home. So they had a nap and then played outside until dinner was ready. Nadia loves having Abby and Evie here to play with.

That night Jessica and I made one of the cupcakes out of our cookbook since that is tradition when we are together. This time we made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip with Cream Cheese icing 🙂

Jessica M comes to visit

Jessica's Visit 3-2010
Click the photo above to see the whole slideshow.

A little less than a month ago I got a call from Jess asking if she could come to Texas to visit and meet Nadia. Come on down I said. WOO HOO! Jessica got here last week and we had a great time. Jessica had 2 requests when she came – to put together a package for their new sponsored child in Ethiopia and to hit the Flying Saucer for lunch that included Dill Pickle popcorn. I was in the process of putting together a little package for our newest sponsored child so we had a blast shopping and getting everything together and mailed off in their neat little 6×9 envelopes. Otherwise we did a lot of playing, talking and eating.

Here we are at the saucer and yes I asked for a second bowl of popcorn.

Jessica's Visit

Jessica and her buddy the longhorn. He is a little balder than 2007. I blame it on the snow.

Jessica's Visit

Jessica bought Nadia her first piggy bank and we will just say that Mommy and Daddy have been feeding it a lot. LOL.

It was a wonderful visit and I am so glad that Jessica was able to come spend some time with us. Come back any time! (and Jeff is invited too of course!)
