April dump: miscellaneous

Things have been a bit chaotic this year--really for the last 7 months.  There hasn't seemed to be any sense of normalcy in our lives.  We went from me being sick, then on extended "rest", a miscarriage, searching for a house long-distance (for 4 months), living apart for 2.5 months, living with family for nearly a month, and finally into a new house.  Now Scott is traveling A LOT for work (as in gone 1-4 nights every week).  I'm still waiting for normal.  I'm starting to think there isn't one. 

Here are some photos from various activities from April--our month of limbo.

Discovery room at the Science center

This is the first time C has been brave enough to go down to the dinosaurs.  He's always been terrified of them for the last 2 years.  This time he had a new friend to help him.

Do you seen "spider bear" a.k.a. Artie Snow Paws?

Here's A.S.P being "born" at Build-a-Bear Science center (C has never done this before--he was amazed). I'm a cynic and think it's such a racket.

A special surprise over Easter weekend was that my cousin and  her family along with her mom and dad (my aunt and uncle) were headed to the St. Louis zoo.  We happened to be free after the Easter egg hunt, so we were thrilled to be able to join them.  C got along with his "cousins" very well.  They were so sweet.

Silly boys

This is C holding hands with Livia Schaffer.  He usually won't play with girls, but he loves the Schaffer girls.  As soon as we got there, Liv came to show him around, and he actually took her hand. This is at Suson Park in St. Louis at the end of the month.  We met our friends the Schaffers for playtime.  It started to rain, so we had to head to CEC for an hour of indoor fun.
