Beautiful Day!

Happy April! It was a GORGEOUS day here today! We spent it going to Sam's Club and to the zoo!!! Samuel's favorite place! There were about a million and one people there; you've never seen so many minivans and stroller and wagons all in the same place in your life! We probably spent the longest time watching the polar bears, where baby Hudson was entertaining the crowd by jumping in the water, splashing and playing. The lemurs were also a hit with Samuel. They are cute little creatures:) We followed the zoo trip with naps for everyone, including a very tired mommy and daddy:)
Zakkai has started some new fun things lately! He started dancing to music and thinks it's great fun. His new favorite song for me to sing is, "Ho, Ho, Ho, Hosanna" and he tries to sing it after me. He says, "He, he he," and gives me a big smile:) He has been a little stinker! He loves to turn on and off the tv and goes back a hundred times after you take him away. He's going to require some patience as he enters the toddler years! There has been some more hitting, too:( He got mad that I wasn't preparing his dinner quick enough tonight. He kept saying "ma ma ma" (more) and then screamed and started hitting the table. Temper, temper! Pray for us!!
Samuel is so happy to be spending more time outside! He just brightens up so much when we go out. He loves to dig in the dirt and go down the slides, obviously loves the zoo, watching for helicopters...It's going to be a fun summer! Tonight Samuel was eating chicken nuggets and he was bringing a piece to his mouth, stopped and said, "Mommy, there's a chicken inside here!" and then ate it:) He makes me laugh!
Life is busy here in the Thomas household and each day with these busy boys is an adventure! We miss our families and friends and wish we could see you more often, especially Mugga and Grandma!
