Valentine's Day

Daddy's make our Valentine's special at our house!! Ray C. bought flowers for Mary Frances (and me:)) and put them in different places around the house!! My daddy sends me flowers every year, and this year, he sent some to Mary Frances as well along with a cute little teddy bear. She was so excited that she got some too! We felt very special on V-day! Thank you Ray C. and daddy!

For Christmas this year, we bought the kids an annual pass to the zoo. We have already been 5 or 6 times. It is so nice to be able to go without worrying about staying long enough to see everything!
So, we went to the zoo on Valentine's Day! Thursday is Ray C.'s day off now. So, we have been doing some fun things! Anyway, we had a blast seeing the animals and learning a little bit more about them! They are quite entertaining!

This is baby Jack and his mommy! He is only 2 or 3 weeks old. We saw him the day after he was born! Isn't he cute! Bot am I glad our babies don't come out that big!

After visiting the zoo, we walked around a little in Hermann Park! It is very pretty with lots of water and grass! That may sound funny to you, but we don't see a lot of trees and grass out here! It's mostly concrete! Anyway, the kids laid down for a very brief moment for me to snap one picture and then they were off again!

And would you believe, we had TWO nice meals with the kids that day! We went out for lunch and dinner while we were gone, and we actually enjoyed both meals! Again, this may seem crazy to some of you that I am surprised, but remember they are 2, 4, and 5 and not exactly calm! They are full of life, energy, and lots of love!
