I don’t think we are going to make it to Wildlights at the Zoo this year – with the warm weather, the crowds have been crazy, and well, I’m giant pregnant. We were supposed to meet some of Jenson’s friends at the Worthington Mall to

Easter fun 2015

Easter weekend fell during the calm before the big storm of moving.  We closed on our new house on Thursday, but didn’t take possession of the house until Monday evening.  Lo’s mom was off for Good Friday and she wanted to keep Jenson overnight, so
