After three trips to the zoo over the past few months, we finally got to see the lions. It seems like they even posed for our pictures. Here is a closeup of the large male. All the kids seemed to enjoy watching them.

Home and Away
Daddy and kids have recently become big soccer fans together and are now closely following the Seattle Sounders. When deep discounts were being offered on last year’s jerseys this Christmas, Daddy couldn’t resist. Well…they were a big hit.

Her First Day
It’s hard to believe that Elisabeth has been in school for a couple of months already. Here she is on her first day, flanked by her younger brother and sister. They may have been just as excited as she was on that morning.
