The Zoo

Last week I had the week off of school so we took advantage of it by doing fun things like going to the zoo. It was the first sunny day we had in a while and it is prime field trip season so it was pretty busy but we had a good time. Here are some pictures of our day at the zoo.







New Furniture

We found a nice couch on craigslist for a nice price...so we got it. The guy was also selling a chair that Jenny couldn't resist, so we got that too. Here are pics of our recent furniture upgrade.

Playdate

(Note: This is the 3rd post I've done in the last couple of days, so keep on scrolling if you want to catch up!)

Last Friday, Grace and I went on a playdate with the other podiatry student's wives and kids to Preston's Hope Playground in Beachwood. It was one fabulous playground! There were tons of fun things for the kids to do: themed kid-sized houses, swings, rocking toys, big play structures with slides, and even a big sandbox. This is definitely a playground we'll be coming back to!



Grace was all over the rocker toys, and promptly started rocking herself before I even showed her how to move on them. Rockin' baby, rockin' baby! =) It was too cute!

Taking a ride on the zebra:
The car rockers were her favorite though.
Watch out Cleveland! Grace is behind the wheel!


Silly face!


And a sweet smile. =)


Grace has been really into pointing lately (which is a huge help sometimes in communicating what she wants, especially at meal times).
Hanging out with a dinosaur. She sure loves to stand!


Swinging is something that she's starting to like more and more:


After a morning of playing and having a picnic lunch at the playground, several of us went to the White Flower Cake Shoppe for dessert.

It was cool to go here, because a few of their decorators had been featured in some cake challenges on the Food Network (which we love to watch).

Plus, their cakes were amazing! I got a chocolate cheesecake to share with Travis, and it was divine!


Thanks for the fun morning everyone! Let's do it again soon!
