Photos of the Day: A Day at the Zoo

Many of my facebook friends have seen these photos, but my blog friends have not. It’s funny how things change once you’re a parent. For my birthday this year, we spent a day at the zoo!

The Kansas City Zoo has a great new penguin exhibit.
Elephants are one of my favorites, because they are so smart! We watched this one paint a piece of art.
I was given the once-over by this guy.

Photo(s) of the Day: New Landscaping

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we just got new siding on our house. The next tasks were to pain the front door to match the shutters, and to add landscaping. I thought the landscaping would be in the distant future, but my parents graciously came over on a couple of different occasions to watch Baby K and help till, spread new soil, and pick out plants. I’m so happy with the final result!
