We're Back

So, it's been, what, a month? Well, we were sick for a while, and then I don't know what happened. So, here's a little recap, and some photos.

We went to the zoo.

We went to the zoo with some of our friends, and didn't get any good photos of Zoe. But they saw lots of animals, including the penguins. About a week later we saw a show on PBS about penguins, and Gunter points at the screen and says, "pengins." Well, I'll forgive him the "u" there. He must say 5 new words a day, it's really amazing to see your kids become little people.

Gunter and Zoe made a mess.

Yes, that's Comet on the floor, along with oh, Lime Away, dish soap, furniture polish and various kitchen utinsels. I was gone all morning a few Saturdays ago. Blizzard wanted to get the lawn mowed. So, I left, and he mowed the lawn, and didn't check on the kids for about 45 minutes. We're lucky they just made a mess and didn't eat anything. They also dumped about 2 inches of dirt from the orange tree we have in the entry onto the floor. Blizzard said he couldn't get mad at them because he wasn't there. Then, he cleaned everything up so when I got home I didn't know a thing - smart guy.

We went to Thanksgiving Point with Grandma

I had never been to the garden at Thanksgiving Point, so we had to go see the tulips with grandma. It's a beautiful place and Gunter and Zoe had a great time poking flowers, soaking themselves in the little fountains, and looking at the waterfalls. Gunter couldn't stop saying "water. fall." But, of course he didn't say it as much as he says "gate. broke.", just ask grandpa about that one.


Well, I may see you tomorrow or in a month, one never knows!
