Zoo Day!

I'm off from babysitting today, so the kids and I made an early run to the zoo before it got hot or there were too many people. The kids did great, although I think I've said "Michael, stay where you can see me!" about a thousand times today already. The polar bears were swimming laps, the monkeys were swinging and whooping and the tortoises were all out walking so there was lots to see. Miranda particularly loved the tortoises today, while Michael just wanted to stomp in every puddle and make footprints.

No More Basketball For Dan!

So the big goings-on here at CasaMoore is the rupturing of Dan's achilles tendon last week at his Monday night basketball league. He had surgery the Friday of that week and he's doing much better now that we've got him on a pain killer that doesn't make him super sick to his stomach.





The kids have been really good about it all. We were worried about their inability to keep from climbing on Daddy like he is a jungle gym. Michael keeps coming in every morning to tell Dan "Don't worry, Daddy. It will get better soon, I promise." Miranda points out Daddy's "boo boo" every time she sees it, and they both keep giving his leg kisses to help it feel better.

Dan is going to be in this cast for four weeks minimum and then a walking cast for minimum four weeks after that. This sure has started out as an interesting adventure!!!

Through Michael's Eyes

Michael was given a great little digital camera for Christmas and he continues to try to take shots of the things he sees at home. For every good picture we delete about 15 shots of bright white light or blackness but he has actually captured some good ones!

Daddy

We turned the camera on him this afternoon and caught one of his recent "Smile" face!
