Baby Bird

admin | June 22, 2009

Brenden found a baby bird that had fallen from his nest this morning while out for his morning run.  He rushed home, got our littles and hurried back out to see if we could help him back into his home.

admin | June 16, 2009

7. “Don’t you know what causes that?”
6. “Babies are cute, but they are all going to be teenagers one day, you know!”
5. “How are you ever going to pay for college?”
4.”Are you done yet?”
3. “Are you really here – ALONE – with 1, 2, 3, 4 – FOUR – [...]

Don’t feed the Bears!

admin | June 15, 2009

But you can feed the giraffes!

We were so excited to find out it was feeding time at the giraffe area at the zoo today.  Brenden was doing some work in “zoo town”, so we hitched a ride with him and spent the hours that he worked hanging out with the [...]
