Zoo Train

I wanted to post one of the kids' (and mine too) favorite activities: The Zoo Train. It 's a mini-locomotive that runs right next to the Zoo and also goes by The Sunken Gardens and The Witte (where cousin Rachel will have her wedding reception next April). This was Finn's first time REALLY getting into it.

More Party Pictures

Maisie & Tinkerbell

We celebrated Maisie's 5th birthday yesterday at our house (aren't we crazy, renovations and all). We had an outdoor swim party and it was Texas-hot but there were many opportunites to get wet (just ask Craig who got soaked by our niece, Brandee!!) The theme was Tinkerbell and everything was green and purple. We had lots of food, Tinkerbell cupcakes and lots of fun. We even had a pinata in our living room. It was attached to our exposed ceiling beams which the kids kind of got a kick out of. We're going for the whole new-age, urban loft look :)

Fun was had by all and Maisie thoroughly enjoyed her party!!

Love, Deb

Finn is walking

Swim Day!

Swim Day at MDO (I forgot to post these earlier!!)

Maisie Graduates from Preschool-MDO End of Year Program

Last Saturday morning Maisie had her graduation from preschool and Ainslie and Finn and I also participated in the End of the Year Program at MDO (Mother's Day Out). The theme was "A Day At MDO." Maisie and her 23 classmates, from 2 classes, took the stage and sang "Our God Is An Awesome God." Maisie received her own picture Bible and graduation certificate. Ainslie's class sang (and jumped) "5 Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed," and Finn's class (sort of) sang "Itsy Bitsy Spider." The classes I taught sang and danced to "Imagination Movers." It was a fun morning!! After the program, there were just 2 more days of school left until summer.....see next blog!

Let's Swim

Today reached almost 100 degrees and certainly felt like a summer day!! We got out our kiddie pool and let the water festivities begin. It was Finn's first time swimming and he even got to try out his 1st swimsuit. He looked like a little surfer dude (and it's even got 50+ SPF, how cool!) He did NOT want to get out of the pool, even though it had been 2 hours!! The girls had a blast too and they loved having their little brother to splash with.
