Ok, so I will admit that I haven't been blogging lately because I've been Facebooking, which I frankly just don't get! But oh well, so I'm back! Lots has happened of course, Michael turned 1 and the kids have enjoyed the 10 days of spring that it hasn't rained and they can actually go outside! Most recently however, we just returned from a super fun trip to Brian's mom's house for Memorial Day weekend. We had a great time! Mallory got to play with her cousin Trystan who is nearly 4 and Michael did his best to keep up when he was awake! We also spent a day at the St. Louis Zoo! If you haven't been it's an awesome place! I'm not sure that there are any animals that they don't have, it's huge! We got to see lots of baby animals too which Mallory thought was cute. It did rain a bit though so we went into the Build A Bear store they have and talk about a girl who can't make up her mind. We had to wait outside a bit for the crowd to clear out and then Mallory decided that she was making a bear, then a stingray, then a penguin, then a tiger, which she finally stuck with. She was mesmerized by the stuffing process! It was cute. Scary though that by that time of the day she only wanted to go find the snakes!
So we drove home Tuesday in and out of the rain and once we finally got here Michael and Dayna were like long lost friends. Now both crawling, they would follow each other down the hall, stop and sit up and talk a bit, then head off again. He has finally found a partner in crime that is more his speed. I feel like we've already been so busy that the summer should be ending but I know better! Hopefully I make it to the end!
