It's All Happening At the Zoo

On Memorial Day, Jason and I took advantage of the cool morning air and a day off from work to visit the Dallas Zoo with Ian. He loved it!

At Gigi's Lakehouse

The Sunday before Memorial Day, the three of us headed east to Grandma Hazel's lake house in Mineola, Texas. Lake water freaks me out, but the boys (Jason, Uncle Josh and Ian) had a blast swimming around in that murky water!






Before jumping in the lake, Ian enjoyed exploring the grounds around the lake house, smelling hydrangeas, yelling "tree!", and checking EVERYTHING out very cautiously. So cute.

Good-bye School!

This past Friday was Ian's last day at his very first daycare - Arapaho United Methodist. We were all very sad, but no one was as sad as his caregivers, Tia and Nina. They loved "little Bubba" so much. Jason and I backed cookies to say "thank you" for their compassion and caring, but there really is no way to thank the first "strangers" to fall in love with the Chunks.



We'll miss you, Arapaho!
