Bismarck Zoo

Claire is now a Peregrin Falcon. She's growing and growing!

Taking a break from the animals to have some fun!

Claire loves feeding the animals. I think she may be Chris' daughter ;)

Hello, Mr. Emu!

Mya thought it was SOOO funny when the animals licked her hand! Yuck!

Pretty little Ava.

Mya and her little goat friend.

This is a classic Mya. She tried to fit both hands in the fence so she could give them some love.

Love that smile and this girl!
One of our annual stops in ND is a trip to the Bismarck Zoo. We love that zoo and we have such a good time each visit. The poor zoo was flooded last year, so it was in rough condition when we visited. It was nice seeing everything dried and back in routine condition. The highlight is always their new cat caves that you have to crawl through to get to see a close up of the tigers. Claire LOVES it. Thankfully, she has some pretty amazing cousins who are happy to oblige her requests.

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

Claire Crawling

Claire is finally crawling. We saw her move forward a bit on Saturday for the first time, but she didn't last long enough to capture it on video. She finally crawled for a bit longer today. She isn't going very far, but is great to have achieved this incredible milestone. Now Harvest better watch out!
