Wonderful Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was wonderful this year!!!  It was one of the best Mother's Day I have ever had!  I got flowers and a card from my wonderful children (Thanks Amiee!) , and a beautiful bouquet sent to me(Thanks Sarah H!) :) 

Mother's Day began by going to church with the kiddos where we spend some time in worship.  Then we headed off with the Hacker family~a family who is also from MA that lives in PA:)~to the Pittsburgh Zoo.  As much as I am not thrilled with going "back to Pittsburgh" it was a wonderful trip this time!!!  The zoo was PACKED because Mothers got in free for Mother's Day. 

Here are several pictures of our wonderful trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo~all 4 of us, together at last!

 

I'm not sure what they were looking at~they all were staring at the same thing.  Here we are together though! :)

My girls!

The Hacker Family~minus Noah

The little guy sporting his hat.

This is how we roll, well, how Kim rolled :)
With 3 adults and 9 children you have to be talented like this!

Sydney checking out the tiger.

Might be one of the very few animals Savannah actually saw.  She was too busy eating to notice we were at the zoo!  She was so content to sit in her wagon for 4 hours just eating! :)

Sydney looks so thrilled that I am making her sit so I can take her picture with the elephant.

Action Shot! One drink in her hand, one in the cup holder.  One hand full of food, her mouth stuffed!

There she is again....with food!

Mommy, Xavier, and Sydney (love that face!)
Xavier did wonderful being carried like this.  He loved looking at everything then I turned him around and he slept for about 2 hours!
