The Donaho's

Monday morning was so nice and cool that we decided we better head to the zoo to enjoy the day (since it will be 100 degrees before we know it). We finally got to check out the dinosaur exhibits Garrett was eager to see them from afar. Once we got close he wasn't so eager anymore. He kept saying "i don't yike them". Cooler days always bring the animals out... This was the first time we attempted the bird exhibit, and we loved it. Garrett only got nibbled on once by a bird as he was trying to catch it (something that is NOT permitted in the bird sanctuary).  Someone had a blow out in line for the train, so he got to ride the train in only a diaper. He was one happy boy. so thankful that Mindy got to take a break from unpacking to join us.  Glad he still loves trains. Thanks for joining us, Mindy!

We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday evening with the Hanckowiak's. Adrien practiced holding his baby sister (eta October 2011) by holding Gus. The boys relaxing after playing in the sandbox... Pit stop Gus can't wait to have a playmate... I had lots of helpers when it came time to changing Gus's diaper Thanks, Joanne, Chris and Adrien, for a wonderful afternoon!

Mindy came with since she was in town. 4,  My sister, Mindy, and Jarrett signed on their new house, so they are officially homeowners. AND only 15 minutes from us. 3. It was National Day of Prayer 2. I found Skinny Girl margaritas at our liquor store 1. I quit my job (I till can't believe I did it). It was a tough decision, and I'm going to miss the company and my co-workers, however, I'm thrilled to be at home with these crazy boys. Garrett was happy to see us when we arrived for lunch Mindy came with and got to meet his teacher and see his classroom. His gift to me (along with a necklace he made; he made one for Mindy, too). One of my favorite projects he's made.....a Mother's Day prayer with a picture of him praying. We celebrated the big day by meeting our friends at the park (and ...

Gus and I finally made it to Stroller Strides while Garrett is at school.... He's a mess... He has been touching his toes...He'll be rolling over at any moment.
