The Pippin Family

Me, Johnny, the sprites and Parker...together at 3:30 AM then again at 4:30 AM and once more at 5:15 AM. Due to the fact that Parker can't tell me what's wrong, I have no idea what happened last night but if I had to make an assumption, it would be that he REALLY wasn't feeling well. Thankfully he's asleep now at least for the moment. On a more positive note, Monday night was the first night in probably a year and half that I slept through the night, I didn't wake up even once. It might've helped that I took some benadryl before I went to sleep, and then luckily Parker slept through the night (which is rare)...anyways, it was WONDERFUL.

Yesterday I went to the zoo with Mandy and her kids. We had a great time, the weather was beautiful and the kids were fun. I LOVE the zoo. So here are some pics from the day.
Parker liked the little wire in front of him more than the animals...in the last 30 minutes I think he actually "saw" an animal. One of the little monkeys came right up to the glass in front of him. He giggled and reached his hand out.
I think I counted 4-5 times that Mandy had to make a mad dash after Isaac, don't be fooled by that adorable grin, he is QUICK. I watched him for a min while she did a bathroom run, taking his picture was a great way to get him to just stand there at least for a minute...then I too had to make a mad dash after him.
No Mandy doesn't have a beer belly, that's a little bun in the oven.
Emma had recently learned the difference between boy and girl animals...and was willing to share which was which and how she knew it. It was quite funny. That girl is a real crack up.
