Kentucky Railroad Museum and Lincoln's Birthplace

Suffice to say (for now) the railroad museum was a bigger hit with Claire than Lincoln's birthplace. I suspect we will be revisiting the museum with Grandpa Springsteen a few times - it is pretty cool and not far away.

Louisville Zoo - May 5

As you can see the Orangatun's were particularly cooperative at the zoo today! Claire kept yelling, "Hi Big Monkey!" at the poor guy/girl when she was nose-to-nose. I think she wanted to hug him (her?). Not many pictures, it was a Tuesday so it was just Mommy + 2. Harris was awake most of the time and a sweetie per usual.

We also saw/chased peacocks, saw a crocodile yawn, were annoyed by the loudness in the penguin room and saw the tiger's noggin but he wasn't willing to come down off his ledge to visit.

A day in our life...

I was getting Claire a new shirt (thanks to a PB&J incident) when she got my purse, sunglasses and keys and told Ray, "Bye!" At dinner she decided to play peek-a-boo with her clean shirt... after dinner she read a book about farm animals to Elephant. Harris had a nice bath and was Mr. Happy afterward. He decided he needed to eat like he is going to hibernate tonight before bedtime. Looks like another growth spurt is looming...

Bubbles! (yes, we do this alot)

Claire had an afternoon of mega-bubbles the other day. We haven't managed to find the Bubble BBQ in the boxes yet. There are a few more boxes to go through, so it will turn up...this was fun, though - a little splattery, but fun.

New Video!

The top 2 videos over on the left are from Easter weekend - one is Claire dancing to the Imagination Movers, our new fave show. The other is Easter morning.

And I finally renamed the blog appropriately, or as well as I could think of at this point....

Easter, or thereabouts

We had a rather non-traditional Easter - no church or egg hunt, but the kids had baskets and Claire got her first basketball goal! We went for a long walk along the lake next to our subdivision - very fun. Rosa and Claire ran themselves ragged. Harris slept the whole time. We call that a successful outing! Later Harris and Ray watched the Masters...ok, Ray watched...

Noses

Just some random pics - Harris was doing some tummy time which turned into "clean my nose, Mommy" time and then Claire decided she needed some floor time too....and so it begins....

I think they could have the same noses though...
