Cheetah Power!

This is Mia's second year of futsal and she is really lovin' it. I think that having your daddy as a coach helps.



sock power is back!

Lions and Tigers and Bears....

I did not know that there was a zoo in D.C.! Yesterday we visited the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. We had a really great time visiting all of the animals in the zoo even though the lemurs were hiding. I even tried singing to them... i like to move it move it... everybody on the dance floor. They have probably heard it a million times and are pretty sick of all of the extra attention. The leopard seals were very entertaining however, we had to hide Myles's penguin.

Baby Zebra

Today we traveled to the Lacey Spring Stable to visit a baby zebra and his trainer. Not only did we get to see a baby zebra we were able to feel one too (and yes, you can feel the stripes). His name is Zoro and he is 4 1/2 months old. Definitely a memorable experience. We learned that baby zebras are born brown with white stripes (notice the legs) and then black hair begins to take its place. By spring Zoro will be black with white stripes or is it white with black stripes???



This is such a great photo!

She is an Incredible girl

Yesterday we volunteered at the community school in Harrisonburg. I think that we will be helping out at the school every Thursday morning. The kids loved the imaginative play and the new games. Mia LOVED the Incredibles costume. (If anyone comes across the Violet- Incredibles costume size 7-10. Please let me know) She definitely is a super hero!

Christmas in MN!
