Farm Babies, Cousins & Diente Numero Tres

despite the nasty weather here in wonderful minnesota, we enjoyed a pretty fun week. the sun finally made an appearance again on friday, so cruz and i took full advantage and we headed back to the zoo. we were able to hit some of the outdoor exhibits, including the farm babies. cruz got to pet a baby goat (a kid?!)and he loved it! he's definitely not afraid of animals...guess he gets that from heath, not me! :)

we also made a trip through the tropical trail again. did you know that colombia is a hot spot for several animals? we love the shout out to colombia and captured it on film this time:

on sunday, all three of us headed over to the skala residence in eden prairie...we had high hopes of playing some catch to loosen up our arms for our first softball game this week, but the weather did NOT cooperate (in fact, there were snowflakes flying!). my cousin erin & her husband adam were back from chicago with their two kids, conor and riley, so we got to see them as well as leah, andy & carmen and laura. the kids had a fun time interacting and checking each other out! this was the best photo of all four that we could come up with:

carmen (5 mos), cruz (10 mos), conor (3 1/2) & riley (1)

tooth number 3 also made it's appearance in cruz's mouth late last week. he now has two on the bottom and one on top. he's been such a trooper throughout! it's looking like the second one on top could pop through at anytime as well.

fingers crossed for warm weather soon....
