a day at the botanical gardens

The botanical gardens are not boring! Who knew? I've been stallling going as I figured the kids would not have a grand time of it but how wrong I was (granted we went with our preschool buddies for spring celebration week). See some lovely photos, some even of the kids...

this family is missing one thing...daddy...and we really miss him. we’re going on day 8 without him and don’t know how much longer we can hold out. mom’s fun cards are almost gone (at least the free ones). it would sure be super if we lived close to grandparents, or aunts/uncles and cousins for entertainment and relief! but, that’s why daddy has been gone for so long...the great job hunt has begun. but don’t ask us where until mid-may.
