President's Day Weekend

Over President's Day weekend Katie and Lili flew down from up north for a visit. Valentine's Day also fell on this weekend. Time flew by, but we had fun. The weekend included some shopping, the zoo, baking cookies, crawling around in diapers, flossing our teeth, and play time. The highlight of the LA zoo was probably the giraffes, at least for Cairo (and me, too).

Here are some pictures of our visit:

Cairo and Grammy making yummy heart sugar cookies. Cairo's job was to add sprinkles.



Of course the chef must taste test the cookies.

Lili and Jonah at chow time.


Is it just my kids or are all kids happier when their clothes are removed?
Lili and Jonah Bear- only 2 weeks apart.

One of Cairo's favorite past times- flossing. I don't think that I am going to have to worry about her dental hygiene. She chases after us with her toothbrush.

Cairo, Jonah, Erik, Lili, and Katie's first visit to the LA zoo. Cairo is checking out a sunbathing kangaroo through the fence.


Cairo's hat matches the flamingos or the "ducks" as she was calling them.
Xander and Cairo on their "best" behavior while we stopped for a snack. Can't you tell by the smile on Cairo's face that they were being perfect angels and not running wild through the tables?

The grump and I.

Yum, applesauce!

This bird is SO UGLY! Just look at its feet. What is the purpose of those HUGE feet?

The zoo's highlight. I learned some interesting facts about the spots on a giraffe and how they cool down...

Lili was so excited about the giraffes that she passed out on her mama.


You'd think that I'd have more pictures of Katie, but somehow I don't. :o( It sure is more difficult taking pictures now that I have two kids.
