Eight is Great!


We have been caught in a whirlwind of activities, and just more life piled upon life, since my last post.  We’ve had school, travel, breaks, Easter and in the middle of it all this beautiful boy of ours turned eight.  We celebrated with cake and ice cream with a few friends here in our town.  Eldest son decided he wanted a panda cake, which I didn’t consider disturbing until all the plastic animals were lined up around it (waiting to eat it???).  Anyway, the cake was enjoyed by all =), but the real celebration was when we crossed the border to the country-with-the-cool-zoo-next-door.  We then spent the next several hours jogging after our eldest as he announced each and every animal, before he dashed away to see the next.  It was a day well spent. 
Thank you to Mimi again for the very cool animal print shirts!
