Samuel and Daniel

Once a year, our church hosts the "Annual Baby Day Parade"! It is a special (indoor) parade of all the young ones who stay in the nursery during services. This year, we have two of our children in the parade - Samuel and Daniel! Daniel is actually the youngest baby of the parade (as was Becca in 2002), so he gets a special honor from the Pastor. The theme this year is "Your Favorite Bible Character", so we decided that Samuel will dress up as...Samuel! And Daniel will dress up as...Daniel! ;-) We are even putting together a little "Daniel in the Lions' Den" float for our baby boy. Here are some pictures of Samuel in his outfit for the parade. We'll post some of Daniel later when we are done with his float.


Samuel enjoys "reading" his little Bible Storybook.

Escape to the Tropics

We decided to put our Minnesota Zoo Membership to good use today! The best part about our Zoo is that it has the "Tropics Trail", which is always warm and humid. It was nice to see so much green, and it almost felt like we were on vacation to some exotic island!

We took some pictures of the kids enjoying the adventure:

Eric and the kids see the otters sleeping the day away.


Becca sees something new in the Komodo Dragon exhibit.


It's nice to get out of the cold for a while!


"What's that, Mommy?"


It's just so exciting!


This is Daniel, enjoying the Zoo his way! ;-)


Sam was fascinated by the tropical fish in the aquarium!

The Content Baby

Nothing like a happy, content baby, except...
a happy, content baby in his crib! ;-)
Ahh, but he does love his Mama.
