Louisville zoo

Andi and Laurana
 with the Giraffes 
So Wed. we went to the Louisville zoo.  Andi, Nana, and a friend of Andi's went with us.  It was alot of fun.  Laurana was so much bigger she really seemed to see all the animals.  She still says her favorite animal at the zoo is the giraffe.
As it turned out, Andi knew the guy doing the elephant show and we got to go in and touch the elephant.  It was so cool.  No wait.. it was 102 heat index.  so not cool, but the kids and a blast.  They were very well behaved and I think everyone had fun.  


In comparison, the Cincinati zoo has a much better petting zoo (you actually get to feed the animals at Cincy) lousiville had 3 big goats and one baby goat.  and if their had been more people we wouldn't have gotten to pet them at all.   However there were quite a few animals that we got to see much closer up at the Lousiville zoo. I also feel like it is more of a circle so you don't spend as much time going backwards to see things.  I think next year we will go back to our usual Cincy zoo, but you never know.  We might try St. Louis some time. :)   


At the start of the day.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
