Happy Memorial Day!



What a beautiful weekend we have been having here in Ohio. Spent some time camping,and visiting with friends, a parade this morning and a BBQ with family. Thankful today for the life God has blessed me with. Thank you to all of the men and woman throughout our nation's history (and those who are there today) who have served to make this country great! Hope you have had a wonderful weekend as well!
Happy Memorial Day!

A Day at the Zoo!

We have had so much rain in Ohio that it was such a treat to have a nice (warm) day outdoors. A few of my MOPS friends met us up at the zoo yesterday. Here are a few photos of Liam's first trip to the zoo. I am seriously considering getting a family zoo pass and visiting a few more times this summer.








This guy posed for me! :)
Liam was facinated with this guy. He kept saying "k, la, bear" (still working on it)




Some of Liam's friends checking out the mini horse.


Mommy, a goat!


Surprised by his fearlessness. He just went on up and touched him. A future 4-Her perhaps?







Next trip: The Monkeys, Lions, and Polor Bears.

Quiet Rainy Days







link unkown


Most people hate when it rains. Me,..I love it! I sometimes think that I should have been born in the UK. With all of the rainy days these past few weeks, I have felt inspired. Rainy days allow me to stay indoors and create! Something I have been doing a lot of lately. In the next few days I hope to post some new aprons in my etsy shop,..and there will be a fun surprise coming soon. ::wink:: We will see if I can keep the fun "secret." (No, I am not expanding my family just yet....just throwing that out there.) Hope you are enjoying a warm cup of coffee, and snuggles with your loveys.
