out AND about

i think it's just adorable when the girls get all bundled up in their jackets and hats...we were really just going to run errands, but i had to take pictures!

THE ZOO!!!

we have had a busy week! today me, lucy, edy, sara, ethan, savannah, angela and emeline went to the minnesota zoo in minneapolis. the weather was actually decent today (50 or so and sunny) so we got to see the baby farm animals on display. we saw cows, baby chicks, pigs, roosters, lambs, goats, camels, fish, monkeys, buffalo, ducks, stuff we had no idea what it was and some other species. lucy especially liked the goats because she got to feed them right out of her hand. surprisingly, she wasn't scared at all and they were practically jumping through the fence to get to her food!

eagle's nest

today we went on a play date at eagle's nest, which is like a kid's gym. lucy had so much fun running wild and playing with the kids while i got a chance to chat with some other moms. she mostly was found in the book corner (no surprise) and driving the boat.

pLaY DaTE

today we went to play with ethan and savannah for the day. lucy really enjoyed seeing the snow fall on the way to the car. she was trying her best to catch it :-) these pictures are on our way out. the ones down below are on the way back...what a difference! we are so thankful to have friends here to hang out with. lucy was introduced to playdoh for the first time...mmm...it tastes delicious! edy thinks ethan's busy box is so cool and just loves to play with him.

it snowed today...alot! lucy was fascinated by it at first, but once her hands turned to ice cubes she was in a bad mood quick! these pictures are outside our friends eric and sara's house. all the snow you see is from this one day, so cool. we think this may be the last snow so i'm so happy we got here in time to see it :-)

lucy has been keeping herself busy for hours upon end with her new favorite toy that was actually a christmas present i just pulled out for her from grammie. thank you grammie, lucy is creating master pieces while i update my blog!

minnesota bound!

we are on our way to brooklyn center, minnesota where justin works to stay with him for awhile. we're not sure how long we're going to be gone for, but we're sure we're going to miss our family and friends at home and we're also sure it's going to be a fun adventure :-) these pictures were taken at a hotel along the way in rockford, illinois. this was the first time lucy or edy had ever seen snow! it was so freezing outside that we didn't get down and play in it because it was soooo cold! what fun!
