To the zoo we go


Libby woke up on Sunday morning with a smile on her face and a hunger in her tummy. She seems to have totally recovered from her sickness. Since it was a beautiful sunny day and was suppose to get in the mid 80's we decided to take Libby to the Memphis Zoo before running the rest of our errands. She seemed to really enjoy it. Her favorite animals were the brand new polar bears that just arrived in time for the March 1st opening of the Northwest Passage exhibit. There were 3 of them and they swam and played in the water right in front of us.

After the zoo we went to our favorite mexican restaurant for lunch, el Porton. The food was great as usual, but I made the mistake of telling the waitress that I needed two more minutes to look at the menu before ordering and of course she took 10 minutes before she came back. Since Beth was very hungary, I am lucky there were chips and salsa on the table for her to eat, or I would have gotten a beating.

From there we went to Target, Micheals, and Old Navy to get me a new pair of pants.

We would like to thanks everyone for the nice calls, emails, and letters asking how Libby was doing. You can all rest easy knowing your granddaughter, niece, and friend Libby is doing just fine now. If you would like to see more pictures of Libby in her "going to the zoo" outfit, click here.

Also, it's good to see more of Beth and Libby and less of Jon. Thank you....

Rich the pants were a smaller size, everything else I had was falling off me.

Being a parent must be easy when you actually have time to do a link for the pants you bought!!! Wonder why I went to grad school?!?

And if you're wondering...today I am wearing these...
