The past few weeks

These are pictures from my (Bethany's) camera in the past few weeks. I know Zach's camera is somewhere around here with other pictures on it, but naptime will be over before too long, so today I'll just post the pics from my camera.

Katy, Daddy, and Moby Dick (the book, not the whale)

Katy and Daddy all clean and ready for tooth-brushing and book-reading.
The blanket I knitted for Ruby.

Petting a 6 month-old llama. Katy and I were pleased to hear that this llama, almost as big as her mama, is still nursing.

See how many llamas and alpacas were in this barn? You'd think it would be noisy with animals sounds, right? But no. You could hear a pin drop - it was like a silent movie. Eerie that they are so quiet.

These alpaca babies were less than a week old.

In the park behind our house.

Zach flying a kite.

Katy holding Maizy's yucky tennis balls. "Go get, Maizy!" she likes to say, even when Maizy is nowhere around.

Blowing bubbles with Gabby.

Blowing out A-A's birthday candles.

Chillin' with a book.

Chillin' with Wolfie.

Her booster seat was by the door, as we were getting ready to have dinner at a friend's house. She sat there for her snack.

An ice-pack for her goose-egg.

Playing with Play-Doh.

Miss Jane got into her room somehow while she was napping.

The Red Boots

If you have ever spent more than 5 minutes with my mother, then you already know the story of me and the red boots. Yes, I loved my red boots. I even wore them in the summertime. In fact, they were often the only thing I wore, I'm told. So you see, Katy comes honestly by her enthusiasm for being naked. The little cutie next to me is my big brother and constant playmate Jarrod, who is politely ignoring my nudity.

On another topic entirely, did you know that becoming a member of the zoo includes such benefits as swimming with the hippos?
