Catching up...

This is a much-belated picture from the very happy day in January that I became a deacon. ------>

Below is just a cute picture of Curran playing with great-grandma's pitcher collection...as apparently every visiting child does :)

A trip with wild animals (not just the kids)

We recently went to a wild animal sanctuary with the kids and some dear friends of ours. Here you can see Curran's favorite part of the park. He kept running back to the entry point so that he could see the animal that he could touch, and the dog loved it too :)









They had tigers, ocelots, lions, bears, wolves, and cougars to name most of them. Nearly all were rescue animals. Here are a couple of the many many beautiful tigers they had. There was lots and lots of roaming space for the animals, and even a pool area that they got to rotate in and out of.








Here's Avery trying hard to look just like them! He enjoyed watching the tigers play with giant exercise balls and play in the pool.











Here is Curran all dressed up for Mardi Gras a couple weeks back. He went around with his brother begging beaded necklaces off of everyone. (They were just laying on all the tables during our potluck.) He thinks he's pretty hot stuff in sunglasses, let me tell you!
