We went to St Louis for the weekend to meet some friends. Even with the chaos of seven kids we had a good visit and a great time. And what is a visit to St Louis if you don't go to the zoo? So we did- go to the zoo. It is taking some time for me to recover though. Today I'm doing laundry and enjoying the fall air coming through the windows.


Tears, what a huge frog!


All the girls and I.


Watching some huge fish.

I have an artist in my house. She would rather be drawing, painting, coloring, beading, crafting than about anything. This is one of her creations this week. I think it is hysterical. Study it a while and tell me what you think. Sorry I can't get it any bigger, the detail on the shirt is really what makes it.
