Visit to Great Grandma and Grandpa's

Caitlin and Patrick playing on the floor at grandma and grandpa Bushell's. Can't tell you how cute (and rare) it was.


Gotcha!

Caitlin tickling Patrick

love the puma suit.


I cannot tell you how important this image is to me.
Maybe the most valuable picture I have ever taken.
This captures all that's been important to me for the first thirty-five years of my life and for the last three and one-half years of my life.
The reason I moved back home.
To spend time with my grandparents, to have kids, and to make sure my kids get to spend time with my grandparents.
Mission Accomplished.

On the Train at the St. Louis Zoo

Love the look on Patrick's face.

I"d like to think she's covering her ears because of the loudspeaker in the background and not because she is not listening to me.

Whatchulookinat?

funny picture of a camel.

Goats!

Momma introduces Patrick to one of the goats.

Caitlin jumped down in the pit and began to brush...

and brush goats,

goats,

and more goats!

She earned her treat!

Working on the Farm!

Caitlin really enjoyed the little 'farm' area at the zoo.......


Put her to work as soon as we arrived.


Caitlin standing post at her newly stocked 'store'.

Selling the goods. She charged me $3 for a pear and then sold an entire basked of fruit to this little sucker for only $1. What the....?!?!?

Meanwhile momma and patrick caught some zzzzzz's.
