visiting the zoo on SUNday!

The weather has been mild so we took advantage of the blue sunny skies today and hit the zoo. What a day!?! It was all but empty, and the animals were active and visible - so fun! McKenna fell in love with a lizard in the reptile house and Kaitlyn literally squealed while watching the seals swim over her in the polar bear exhibit!

Though the girls were sad to see the dinosaur and dora/diego exhibit closed for the season, we were all excited to learn that the Planet Earth exhibit is coming this spring! We have been enjoying this series on the National Geographic channel so much (it all started when we stumbled upon a planet earth marathon playing on new years day lol)!!!!!!














getting back on track!

The start of January has gone well! With Kaitlyn back at school and McKenna starting a 1-day-a-week morning program we are falling into routine (which I always crave after the holidays). 

We have all been enjoying the cool weather; and trying to appreciate it while it's *mild*



 hanging up daddy's new flag!

PROUDLY showing off work from her first day of school :)
