Blogging the Past - May 2008

I'm trying to do some catching up -- this is the 2nd long blog of the night...more to come.


May was definitely a busy month. Around mid-May, Chris' Dad and Stepmom came to visit for Chris' sister Liz's Graduation. We had a fun-filled three or so days to spend with them. The girls are especially excited in the above picture because they are waiting on their ice cream on lawn at Sheridan's, excuse me, of course I mean frozen custard and not ice cream.

Grandpa was so nice and decided to take Ava & Elise to the Topeka Zoo...gotta love that zoo. It's the perfect size for small kids. Ava & Elise are wearing their new outfits that Grandpa George got them.

The whole group: Me, Liz, Jenny, Chris, Elise, Grandpa George & Ava.

Ava made instant friends with Grandpa George. She hadn't seen him for quite a while but made up for lost time. Thought I'd add this cute, or what I think is cute, photo of sloths. Every mother loves her young.


Had to ride the train in Gage park.

After the zoo, we drove out to the Legends shopping center and had dinner. The girls were sure hamming it up.
Liz's Graduation from JCCC. Congrats Liz!

One of the highlights of the visit was our trip to Jack Stack BBQ.

After a few days of go-go-go with few and short naps, the girls finally conked out. Overall, it was a nice visit and we're glad that we got to be a part of Liz's big day and to catch up with Grandpa George and Grandma Jenny.
