Flashback Friday

May 26, 2016

We checked out the zoo in Sioux Falls and enjoyed seeing different animals than we have in Nashville.

 Checking out the monkeys with Uncle Jeremy

 The whole crew

(Nathan really wanted to see a pig and they had some in the farm area.)

 The giraffes were licking the fencing. It was weird.

 I love my Sioux Falls family!

It was a great time! :) We ate lunch in a park outside of the zoo which was a hit for the kids. Nathan has reflected back on this zoo trip several times because Jeremy's zoo had elephants.

Writing His Name

Nathan continues to practice his name and he's getting better and better.  He's mostly writing the letters with just a bit of prompting on how to write them. He's adjusting more to the new class and working toward a week's worth of happy faces so that he can get a flying horse. (Isn't that what you'd want?!)

The Boys

 This sweetie pie is all over the place as he gets better and better at walking.

Look at the handsome fellows today and just over a year ago.

What changes!

Quick Visit

Papa and Nana came Sunday afternoon for a very quick visit. We needed to talk through some things so they played with the boys and hung out with us until the boys' bedtime. Then we were able to talk!

Unfortunately, whatever the issue was, we don't know, but Zachy decided from 9:30pm- 12:30am he didn't need to sleep and no one else did either. It was crazy. Papa and Nana left when we left for work so that they could make it back for Dad to work his shift at CFA. Whew! It was a quick trip..

Playing Outside

With Zach's increase in mobility, he wants to be out and doing things. I think, too, we have been more comfortable with being outside and going for walks. These boys are growing up!

Flashback Friday

[Whew! It's been busy around here. Sorry I got behind again :( but stick with me and I'll get caught back up.]

Last Flashback, I showed you how brave Nathan was as he rode the horse. Today, we'll continue on with our trip in Sioux Falls to a Western standard - buffalo!

Along with the buffalo area, the owner had created a 1800's frontier town. He had collected all sorts of historical items and there were boards up with information on what was in each spot. The land had a long history too as the Native Americans had some tribal ritual there. It was a pretty neat experience.

We have a Walker!

Somehow today it clicked. Maybe it's because he was finally feeling better today after a bout of teething and stomach issues. Who knows what it was, but today he is walking all over the place. It was super fun to see. What a big boy! 14 months today.
