We love love love the STL Zoo!

We love living so close to such a wonderful and free place! Forest Park is so much more than the St Louis Zoo. Someday, we will explore more of it.

Birthdays are fun!

Our little girl isn't so very little any more. Anna turned five years old last Thursday. Mimi and Grangraddy came up to visit for a couple of days. Anna and Mimi made cupcakes on Friday. (Funny, there aren't any pictures of those.....)

Sunday Funday....complete with snow!

Anna loves the Beach!

We are so lucky to have access to a beach house every summer. Anna had a wonderful time with Mimi and Grangraddy in Myrtle Beach last week. She loves buidling sand castles and knocking them over, as well as collecting shells.
