Woodland Park Zoo

We hit up the Woodland Park Zoo with the Bruchs

and Williams on Saturday.

If you didn't already know it was opening day for the Dawgs.

Chris was so excited we had to distract him all day

so he wouldn't pace at home and drive Will and I nuts.

(He had already been awake since 4 am because he

couldn't sleep through his excitement.)

We tried to walk Charlie out but it didn't work.

The triplet's stroller popped a tire and

we made it through the entire zoo with just 2

single strollers for 5 kiddos.

We carried, held hands, gave piggy back rides, etc.

and everyone had a great time.

All the kids were especially well behaved.

We had a picnic lunch and then packed up to head home.

On another note...

It has been a real treat for me having a

few days off with Chris and Will.

Just the 3 of us.

I am looking forward to meeting our new little dude

but I think we are all feeling that a lot is going to change for

our little family.

It's funny that you feel sad for your first kiddo because you

know their perfect little existence is about to get rocked

but you also know you are only having another baby

so that they aren't an only child.

I hope Will knows how much we adore him and

what makes us excited for another baby is that we think of all

the magic he has brought to our everyday life.

There are challenges everyday but one sweet "love you mama"

or "want to hold you mama" squeeze makes up for

infinite sassy, temper tantrums.

The good outweighs the bad every minute (well, at least every hour:)

We are very, very lucky parents.
