Did you know Reindeer Swim???

I sure did not! Until today....

During a routine fieldtrip to the zoo today with my daycare, we were quickly put on alert that we needed to get into a building quickly and run if we had to. (talk about scary....trucks were driving down the sidewalk, drivers yelling at us to get inside a building quickly and dont ask any questions yet.)

After a few minutes we learned that a reindeer had escaped and was running through the zoo.....then learned it jumped into a lake at the zoo...... 52 minutes later, after being stuck in manatee cove, we were freed to leave!!!!

Thank goodness we were in a cool, not smelly building!!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my dad, Rob's dad, all the other dads out there, but most especially to Rob..... You are the most amazing dad for our children and we are blessed beyond belief to share our lives with you! We love you!!!!

Aaron and Karleigh (oh and our mom and dad too!)

We miss you our angel!!

No goodbye words were spoken,

No time to say goodbye.

You were gone before we knew it,

And only God knows why...

5 years ago today started out as one of the happiest days of our lives when you were born, but quickly turned into the most painful day of our lives by far.

I know we will meet again someday, but until then my angel just know that there is not a day that passes that we don't think about you, miss you and love you.


We love you Annabelle!!!
