Day at the zoo

Day at the Oregon Zoo

Last week GaGa treated us to a day at the zoo! This was Samuel's first visit! His favorite part was the zoo train. The train ride is about 20 minutes long, I thought for sure he was gonna fall asleep but no way, he was having way too much fun! We ate elephant ears, saw just about all the animals and of course spent about an hour in the gift shop.

 Sammy loves his binkys!

Sam loved the train. Maybe he'll take after his brother!

Squished in a cave :)

Sam kept calling the goats "Doodle" which is the name he gave our cat.

Maddy loves elephants.

I cast all of my cares upon you

Cares Chorus by Kelly Willard
I cast all my cares upon You,
I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet.
And any time I don't know just what to do,
I will cast all my cares upon You.
This is my favorite church hymn. Makes me cry every time I hear it. I break down when I realize that the only thing I have to do to feel better in life, is to just give myself, and my sins to Jesus.
What is your favorite hymn?

Samuel's Teething!

Sam likes to take his time on everything! Late to gain weight and learn how to eat. Took his time figuring out how to crawl. Is very cautious on this walking thing. And now, is just starting to show off some teeth. Instead of getting one at a time, he's decided to push out 4 in one week! AHHH the pain, the crabbiness, the SLEEP LOSS! I sure hope he feels better soon :(
