Potter Zoo

I told myself I couldn't post new things until I had finished posting back-logged things. But if I do that, it could be months before you see any pictures. So I'm breaking my rule and posting recent happenings and maybe I'll go back to other things later. Maybe.

Last weekend we took a little trip up to Lansing to visit friends, who conveniently live a half mile from a zoo that is free during the "winter" months. (I feel compelled to put quotation marks around winter, since the temperature has been averaging in the high 70's for a week now).

Here are some of my favorite photos, very few of which actually include zoo animals. I think you'll agree that the alternative subject matter is equally endearing though.

Aaaaaack! Cute overload!

These two are up to no good for sure!

Baby Alex was more interested in stairs than the zoo animals...


"It's a lagomorph? Are you sure Daddy?"

I know this is Benji because he has drool on his chin.

Daddy's are the best.



Mommy's are ok too.

Hanging out.

Riding giraffes.



Group hug.

Playing tag.

A couple of actual animals. In the second one, the Peacock was rattling his tail feathers at the giant rabbits (I don't remember their actual names--I'm a theoretical ecologist after all.)


Just for fun edited photos.

I'd Rather Be...

Sledding on ice right now. Wouldn't you?

I'm Still Pregnant

In case you were wondering.

Someone (you know who you are) has been asking to see a belly photo. So here it is.

Racing

Clearly I'm way behind in my blogging. I'll be sorting through all my Christmas pictures as I get time. Until the next post, I leave you with this picture of Abby and Deke racing. I'll give you two guesses who won...

Christmas in Utah

In early December Abby and I went to Utah for a week to visit my mom and grandparents. My visit fortunately overlapped with a visit from my sis, so I got to see the whole fam damily! Here are a few pictures.

Drawing pictures with grandma Messy.

Hanging out with Deke.

Loving Olivia.



Just for old-times sake.

I tried to get a picture with grandma and the great grandparents, but alas, nobody was cooperating. Except grandma Messy. Oh well, at least they're all in the picture!

First Snow!

It finally snowed here! It's all melted now, but it was fun while it lasted.

First you get some snow,

then you taste it,

then you build a snowman.

Full snow gear.

Just a pretty picture.

Abby, Uncut

This is long. But if you're really into Abby, like I am, it's worth the watch! What a crazy, silly girl we have.
