A Day at the Zoo

Michael and I met Jessica, Lydia, and Abby at the zoo yesterday, and had a great time. The weather was absolutely perfect. We both got zoo passes for Christmas, and are taking advantage of using them before summer gets here and it is too hot to enjoy.

Checking out the Elephants 

Telling me that a lion says ROOAARRR!!

We couldn't believe he came right up to the window!
He just sat there looking at them for the longest time!

What a difference!

Easter 2013

Poor Michael woke up sick with a fever and ear infection on Saturday morning and we had to miss the big Easter egg hunt.

As  you can see, he isn't feeling well

But after some Tylenol and a good long nap in the afternoon, he was feeling good enough to go to Grandma and Papa's house for the family Easter egg hunt. He really got into it and loved looking for eggs.

Sunday morning, he was feeling better, so we went to church and then to Mimi and Papa's house for lunch and another Easter egg hunt.

Sunday Morning before Church

Aunt Amy was here visiting and Michael loved playing with her.

He knew exactly what to do and took off running to find some eggs.

We were able to get a good family picture too!

I know I am biased, but this has to be
the most handsome little boy ever!

Thrift Store Finds

I have been on the look out for size 4 pants for Michael. He has the longest legs, and all of his 3T pants are getting too short. I was able to find 5 pairs of pants today at the thrift store! Now I can retire his 3t pants and not worry that my son looks like he is waiting for a flood.

Here are my great deals for the day:

Timberland corduroy pants - $2.00
2 pairs of OshKosh jeans - $2.00 / each
JK Indigo jeans - $2.00
Levi's jeans - $1.00
American Living plaid button up shirt - $1.00
2 Brand new with tags Wrangler t-shirts - $2.00 / each
OshKosh long sleeve t-shirt - $2.00

Now if only the weather would warm up, I could pull out all of his summer clothes I have waiting. Hopefully soon!

Funny Face

I might be biased, but he has got to be the cutest kid ever!

Michael's Adoption Book

Here is the adoption book I made for Michael. I love how it turned out, and I love that he will always know the story of how he became our son!

Thrift Store Finds

I went in looking for a white button up shirt for Michael to wear under his sweater vest for Easter and I found one! I was worried I might actually have to pay full retail price for one. The thrift store always comes through.

Here's what I got this week:

Van Heusen button up shirt - $1.00
Old navy short sleeve plaid button up: $1.00
Black Capri pants for me - $3.50
Polo Ralph Lauren shirt for me - $4.50

I was hoping to find some khaki Capri pants too, but no luck. Maybe next time.

Our Weekend in Charleston

This past weekend, I got to go back to Charleston to visit Jennifer and Julie. Andrew was teaching a class on Saturday, so I decided to go down with him to see my friends.

We had so much fun, and had beautiful weather all weekend. We thought it would be fun to take Michael and Coleman to the beach to let them play in the sand. Well, just because it was 75 degrees in Goose Creek, does not mean its going to be that warm on Isle of Palms. It was freezing! The wind was so cold. We only ended up staying for 30 minutes. But we did stay long enough to take some pictures.

See, don't we look freezing?

(I really wish these pictures weren't so dark)

We decided to go find a playground for the boys to play on. Jennifer has a great one in her neighborhood and the boys loved it.

Then we went back to Jennifer's house and the boys got to play outside some more. Around 5:00 Michael asked if he could go take a nap, he was wore out! So he took a nap, and Jennifer and I got to hang out and talk.

Sunday we went downtown for lunch at a Tai restaurant. It was really yummy. Then walked around for a bit and then it was time to go home.

Weekends always seem to go by so quickly and I wish we had been able to stay longer.

Happy St Patrick's Day
