| Happy March everyone! Emerald loves these chairs, even though she seems to get stuck under them and occasionally falls over the foot bar and bangs her head on the tile floor... |
 |

 |
| A fun birthday dinner at Arris' pizza with Nene Orange, Nana and Papa. |

| A special treat for the birthday boy. After he blew out the candle, I told him to, "dig in!" He took this very literally and immediately stuck both hands into the chocolate and licked his fingers clean! |

Spring break day at the St. Louis Zoo.
Kieran was so engrossed in an ipad game on the car ride over that he didn't notice the urge to pee until it was too late, resulting in this frantic comment as we pulled off the highway onto the zoo exit, "Mom! I have to go to the bathroom!" Thirty second later, he had... in his car seat. Luckily, Rick was thinking ahead, and packed him a change of clothes. After a quick change up he was ready for a picnic lunch at a park outside the zoo... complete with PB&J's and Fresca in "fancy cups". Disaster averted, time for some fun!
|
 |
| Emerald found a sweet gum ball to play with while we took a little snack break at the zoo :) |
 |
| So contemplative ;) |
