My monkeys

Our little monkey has officially mastered the monkey bars...
I wonder where she gets it? The park is even more fun now that she actively plays on all of the equipment.

I was floored when she wanted to go down this tube-slide. She's just such a big girl!

Here she is running up to total strangers after shooting out the bottom yelling "slide, slide"...

Can you tell she's having fun?
One last shot before heading home for dinner after a perfect day in the city...

Bye-Bye "Brrr"...

On a daily basis, Josie wants to look out of our front windows over-looking the city. Whenever you say "outside" she instantly says "Brrrr". Poor thing; I think she had forgotten what warm weather was like. Thankfully we got our first taste of Spring on Saturday with 70-plus temps. We had an awesome weekend! (Much needed after a major hit that came on Thursday with a 50% reduction in my work hours - yikes!) Anyway, here are some photos from this season's first trip to the zoo. We couldn't believe the difference between the last time we were there in the fall and this time. What used to be mostly pushing Josie around in her stroller has definitely turned into chasing her around from exhibit to exhibit while she points at, names, and blows kisses at all the animals. Enjoy!

My two favorite people in the whole world...Josie getting as close as she could to the bongos...Josie refusing to turn her head for even a second to pose for a photo because she was obsessed with going "Mahhhh, Mahhhh" at the "sheeps". Incidentally, this was just moments before I realized she was also chewing on the feed-covered fence. Yuck!A weary Josie ready to be carried on her dad's shoulders....Josie cracking herself up in the backseat on the way home. For no reason and totally unprovoked, she just started shouting "Happy Birthday" over and over again. My birthday was over a month ago, and we were just amazed and laughing hysterically at the fact that his resurfaced out of nowhere.
