The Zoo, With Daddy

For weeks, the kids have been looking forward to Daddy’s Spring Break! Today we showed him the Santa Barbara Zoo!

I just realized I never posted pictures of Tommy’s cake! He was very particular about what he wanted this year–he even drew me a picture to show me. “A brown, round cake with a hole in the middle with white frosting to look like whitewall tires.” He was so cute–“That’s exactly what I wanted!”

Tommy and Susie had check-ups yesterday, and it only took us 1.5 hours. All three kids were gems (though as we left, Elizabeth asked, “Why didn’t I get a shot?”). We all had colds, so they weren’t able to finish his hearing test and just opted to give him two of the four shots he […]
