Tanner's Birthday at Museum

For Tanner's birthday, we went to the newly updated
Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History.
Quinn was on a scout camp-out,
but the day was open for the rest of us to celebrate Tanner's special day.
They did dino dig:
it wasn't as much fun as Tanner had remembered it, but there were also lots of people there, too.
The kids explored the light room, craft room, and tinkering.
We also watched an experiment using liquid nitrogen (I think).
We saw "Animalopolis" in the Omni Theater IMAX.
Tanner and Connor made a chocolate cake on Sunday for us to enjoy.
Happy 9th Birthday, Tanner!!!!!

Snow Christmas Eve

Well, it came as a surprise....we had snow on December 24th, Christmas Eve.
It was quite windy and such soft fluffy snow.
The kids played in it both on Christmas Eve and Chrismas Day.
That made such a nice touch to Christmas this year, after going through the disappointment of the adoption falling through.
There's been some sadness around here.
But, there's also been lots of laughing and smiling, too.
It'll all work out (I'm not sure how anymore), but that's what I have to believe ;)
