Bryan's sister, Rachel, came for a fun visit to help me out while Bryan was at a conference in Boston. We had a good time hanging out, playing with the boys, shopping, re-organizing the house, and watching the Olympics! Thanks, Aunt Rachel!
Bryan had a great time in Boston...other than having the APA conference go well for him (he was called "the new face of calling [research]"!), he also enjoyed spending time with his friend, Andy Tix, going to a baseball game at Fenway Park, visiting some historical sites, and sharing an interesting dinner with a homeless couple. We were glad to have him home, though, and spent a day at the zoo as a family with Aunt Rachel (her Christmas present to us)!
Eli enjoyed the elephants!
Watching the gorilla eat made us all hungry!
The boys loved playing the drums (of course!)
Silas and Aunt Rachel watching the sea lion show.
This polar bear was quite active for being out of his climate zone!
I asked Eli to smile for a picture...he pulled this face instead. It's still cute, though.
This is after I caught Silas playing with some bird droppings....ughh.
And I decided to continue posting photos of myself...even though I am not crazy about my "great with child" appearance as I just get bigger and bigger! (Oh, and by the way, there is a giraffe in this picture. I completely dwarf the thing!)
He actually was quite a tall and beautiful creature.
Silas liked the flowers.
Rarely have I seen a hippo out of the water!
Bryan went on a train ride with the boys.
Later in the afternoon, the majority of animals were snoozing, like these lions.
...and Silas, too!
This leopard was aggravated about something. He gave us quite the roar!
End of the day family photo. We're all pretty exhausted, but we had a great day!

1. Love the zoo pictures and the commentary...very entertaining!
2. Eli is a genius and I can't even believe he was able to do that. He's using word patterns - urn - that aren't taught until 2nd grade!! Plus, the e at the end of ghost is b/c he knows that e comes at the end if a vowel says its name (another 1st/2nd grade rule). Um, yeah, you need to look into grad schools right now.
3. The cowboy room looks awesome...where did you get the table?? I expect everything to stay in tip top shape so I can use those pillows again along with everything else. :)
4. I promise to read Bryan's article tonight...that's awesome.
5. Okay, I'll catch up by phone soon.
6. You are huge.
HA!
