all of gods creatures...

smiled for me today......

except my own.

Yes, she is still protesting. Before you start feeling too sorry for me though, I remind you that I have another little wee one in tow that I think may be a willing participant..too early to tell, but I am hopefull.



We went to the Hogle Zoo today. Fun! Our favorite part was seeing Christie, the 22 year old *pregnant* African elephant. Will someone please give this girl some food! She was pretty impressive. I cant wait to meet her baby! (cant tell if I like color or black and white better, so you get both :)

And here are a few of my little "animals". They were really sweet and loving with each other today, man I love that.


From the Alligators perspective, wouldnt you think these were just the yummiest, cutest little kids you have ever seen! I know you cant see it, but in this next picture they are gawking at the white alligator. I love that I could get on the other side of the glass and see their reaction to it. The only other way to do that normally would to be the animal itself, so I thought that was pretty cool. I think I may have to go back and try some more of these shots.

I dont know why anyone would care to see this, but I'm adding it because I like the picture. Maybe its because its one of the only times she listened to me today when I asked her to zip up her little jacket because it was getting nippy.
