My new favorite picture!!

So we needed to take the kiddos somewhere, and I wasn't quite brave enough to battle the Texas temperatures, so we took the family to the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science. It was amazing! At some points it was more like a giant playground (playground/giant box of germs) which THRILLED the kids. (I believe the technical term for "giant box of germs" is "hands-on") Taylor was psyched about the dinosaur dig and the "real actual" paleontology lab, which I admit was awesome. And yes, real paleontologists look like you would imagine. (think more Woodstock and less Jurasic park) We had lots of fun- and as you can see in the last picture, Cade was no exception. :)

A few random more...

Yes, you would think that I would be posting mostly pics of the sweet new baby, but I haven't read the (quite large) instruction book for the new camera, and I don't know how the stupid thing hooks up to the computer yada yada yada. It's on my to do list!!

The kids love to play in boxes- can you believe he actually fell asleep in that thing?


This was Taylor and Lincoln's subtle way of telling me that I had turned the air conditioner down too low and I was the ONLY one who was still hot.

T has wanted to be a paleontologist for quite a while now, and it was so cute- we went to Dinosaur Valley and she took very good notes.
