Caldwell Zoo (in Tyler, TX)

Reader beware: LOTS of pictures! =) We drove out to Tyler this morning and met with Nathan's cousin Charlotte, her four (count them FOUR) kids ages 4 and under. Charlotte's friend and her daughter also met us at the zoo. We had a great time!

Easter Egg hunt in Frisco

We went to an Easter Eggstravaganza today put on by our local Christian Radio station. Gabe had a good time. This was a pot that he painted while we were there (picture taken at home). Maybe we will see some green beans sprouting up in a few days. =)

They had a small petting zoo. Gabe did not have much interest in touching the animals.

Egg "hunt" time! They just had all the eggs and candy thrown into an open field. It was all chocolate and melty. Gabe had his first Milky Way. =) He was happy.


The best part of the day by far was this inflatable slide. He climbed up there like he'd done it a thousand times. This is kind of a progression, but was actually several different trips. He loved it.

Here is what we woke up to in Dallas this morning. Happy Spring all! I tried to put more pictures on, but blogger hasn't been working for me lately, so I'll have to e-mail the rest.

Gabe's growth chart that his daddy made for him. Will we ever be as tall as this? (it is taller than I am)
He has not grown much in the last 6 months.

walk and birthday cupcake

Out for a walk/ride on Sunday. We took a few slices of bread to feed the ducks. Gabe said "here you go, duck" without fail every time he threw a piece of bread.





Gabe enjoying his birthday cupcake tonight from Buca di Beppo. He mostly tried to eat the sprinkles off of it. They sang to him and everything and even brought us adults a large piece of cheesecake. I think that was mostly to make up for ignoring us the whole meal though. Happy birthday, Gabe! I think it's over...finally...right?
