I went to the zoo this morning.

And so did my mom, my sisters, and a few friends from their (and my former) homeschooling group. It's so beautiful outside! Ahh....I love it! I have so much more energy when the weather is nice, you know? My mom & Ambrose. Sari & Ambrose Sari, staring in awe of a horse. Alea, carefully doing her paperwork. I think they were on a scavenger hunt of some sort.... Hope, quacking at the ducks...that crazy girl. She's really growing up, and becoming so much more of a young lady than a little kid (she's 6). It makes me a little sad. And of course, my hilarious baby. Most of the pictures I've been getting of him lately are of him with his arms outstretched for the camera as if to say, "Hey mom, I'd like to eat that." In other news, I think my house is nearly fully recovered after two weeks of neglect (during the icon workshop). I have a few more "I'll-deal-with-this-later" stacks to take care of, but for the most part, I'm back on track...and that's always a relief.
