Well, it's a month late, but our allergies and pink cheeks will attest to the fact that it's finally SPRING here in the Bay Area!!! Yesterday, we went to the zoo--courtesy of our new zoo membership. The kids had a blast riding the carousel and Danny the Dragon train over and over again. Since I had Benjamin in the stroller, I asked EmJ and Willie to hold hands while we walked around, and they never let each other go! It was so adorable. We also went swimming yesterday for a minute--literally a minute. As soon as we got to the pool, EmJ had to go to the bathroom, so we trekked right back home. It was lame, but I'm still just happy that it was nice enough to go swimming!
Here's our cute Willie story for the day. His vocabulary and brain are starting to work together and it's so cute to see what he comes up with. Today, it's free-associations. He said, "Emmeline?" I told him that Emmeline was sleeping, and he replied, "Sleeping? Night-night. Prayers. Nursery. Camryn. Cars." It's like the "six degrees to Kevin Bacon" except he always comes around to cars!
And finally, last Sunday there was a special "primary chorous" in Sacrament Meeting. It was only supposed to be about seven kids singing (one primary class). Well, they announced it, and when the kids starting gathering up front EmJ joined them. Just left the pew and went and stood up there with all the CTR 7s. She didn't know the song, waved to her teacher in the middle of the song, and was eating a cookie the whole time! Luke didn't stop her because he thought it was supposed to be all the primary, and I was distracted (suprise) with Joshua. By the time we realized what was going on, it was too late. Plus, it would have crushed EmJ to be pulled away in front of everybody. Oh man! She's a nut!
These aren't the best pictures Joshua has ever posed for, but I know you are all chomping at the bit to see what he looks like as a "real boy!" He had a cold this week...and a fat lip from jumping off the couch, but he's cute anyway! Have a great day everyone!
