While our kitchen was being remodeled we visited with our good friends the Hoopers in Ohio.
Finally she sleeps!
It had snowed at least a foot the day we got there so we opted for some inside entertainment. The Columbus Zoo has an awesome Rainforest. All four of the kids loved it.
Hallie was fascinated with this alligator. We spent about 10 min watching him swim around. When we got home she kept telling us he wanted to eat us. lol
We had a great time in Ohio. I really didn’t want to leave. We love the Hoopers and miss them desperately in D.C. I’m so glad we went. We were worried about the long drive with the kids in the car. (Anyone who knew Hallie as a baby knows that she doesn’t do well in cars.) However, we were pleasantly surprised by both kids. They did great! More trips to Ohio may be in our future!
As I laid in bed last night I realized that I had had the perfect day. I am so blessed to have such a good life.
Here is why yesterday was so good:
*Ben watched the kids so I could sleep in.
*Kyle took a 2 hour nap before Church so I had plenty of time to get everything ready.
*Church was really good. Testimonies about being grateful for what we have were my favorite.
*Drove some little investigators home from church. They talked my ear off the whole time and I loved it!
*Came home and put the kids down for a nap then made Cafe Rio for dinner.
*Ate an amazingly delicious quiet dinner with Ben. (The kids were still sleeping.)
*Ben did the dishes.
*Played and read stories to the kids.
*Skyped with both families
*Bath time. (Nothing is better than clean chubby babies!)
*Read “The Work and the Glory” with Ben
*Feel asleep fast. 🙂
