Mar. 14 - Feeding Giraffes

What a beautiful, beautiful day.  This week is our spring break from school, so Oliver and I have our daytimes all week to spend together as a family!  What a much-needed break for us both!  This morning, we went to the zoo again.  This time, we let Griffin feed the goats and had the new experience of feeding the giraffes!  You would not believe how huge and beautiful these creatures are up close; Oliver and I were talking about how they just don't look like they should "work!"  Griffin absolutely loved feeding the giraffes lettuce, and Oliver and I were both quite shocked at how brave he was to stick his hand in such a gigantic animal's mouth!

Mar. 13 - Baby Blues

My child is gorgeous.  Parents are allowed to say that without sounding pompous, right?

Mar. 12 - Frenzy

Today, Griffin and I dropped Oliver off at his new job with Frenzy (t-shirt screen printing company) and got to see where he is and what he does all day Saturday!  It's a neat little shop, and the job has been a real blessing to our family.  Oliver is still working for Dominos throughout the week and on weekends as well.  After we dropped him off, we went to the zoo to enjoy the beautiful day and sunshine. 

Mar. 11 - Grocery Shopping

Oh, grocery shopping....

Mar. 10 - Laryngitis

Well, I woke up this morning with good, old fashioned laryngitis.  This is my third sickness in all of about two and a half weeks, and feeling under the weather is really wearing out its welcome around here.  I forced myself to go in and take the exam for the Romans class I'm currently taking, but I am starting to realize that I'm beginning to wear out.  That being said, no photo today; however, I have a sweet one of Griffin, Anna, Henry, and Carroll from yesterday that will do just fine!

Mar. 9 - Cousins

Today, we went with Oliver to Charleston for the day.  He had an appointment for a root canal in town, and Griffin and I got to spend some time with Griffin's Gigi, Aunt Anna, and cousin, Henry!  The cousins look like they're both very focused on reading a Veggie Tales book together; however, it was hard to get them both in the same spot, let alone focused on the same thing, for more that a couple of seconds!  Griffin was walking here, there, everywhere, and not really wanting to sit and play.  But, we captured a few sweet moments of cousin togetherness, and that's just about all we could really ask for at their respective ages! 

Mar. 8 - Bucket of Leaves

We've been sick a. lot. around here lately.  This has led to a few different things:  1) an epic disaster of a house, 2) staying in our p.j.'s pretty much all day every day, 3) having to come up with creative solutions to keep a 14 month old entertained and happy in the house when mama is feeling like...roadkill.  Griffin is big into putting things in bowls, buckets, etc. and taking them out again right now, and he had found a small piece of a leaf that he was carrying around everywhere with him.  So, I scooped up a bucketful of leaves and let him have at it!
