The Natural History Museum!

For President's Day we went to the Natural History Museum. There is a fascinating exhibit about bones and the Chesapeake Bay that Xander was dying to go see. It is on until 2011, but we HAD to see it just 7 days after it opened! I must admit, it was really cool to see! Thanks to Xander, we are all educated for the weekend!
When you enter the Natural History Museum, you are greeted by Harry the Elephant, that is what the guide on the elevator told us. So, here's to Harry and our trip to the musem....

Garrett has been learning about Native Americans, so we needed a picture of a buffalo...

I am always amazed at the cool things they have there!

I will NOT smile, even if there is a T-rex behind me! You can't make me!

A T-rex! What T-rex!?!?!

You're just kidding about the T-rx, right mom? Xander's new friend, the armadillo.

Garrett's love for panthers facilitated this picture. His name is Pawber, like Garrett's Webkinz.

Who is that big hairy fellow behind you? Did we ask him to get in the picture?

Sisters...

When I found out Savannah was a girl, I was very excited. It meant that Eleanor would know the joy of having a sister. I have five great sisters and three sisters-in-law who I love dearly. Words cannot describe the strength and joy I gain from them. Though miles separate us, I still feel so close to all of them. We have laughed and cried, fought and forgiven, hoped and dreamed, worked and wondered together. We have shed tears together and laughed until tears rolled down our faces. There is something special about having a sister. So here's to sisters everywhere...especially mine!

SNOW!!!

Am I the cutest little snow bunny you've ever seen?

You mean we can't throw this at you? I'll just throw my gloves instead...

Maybe you'd like this one thrown at you...

Mom and Savannah The other cutest little snow bunny...Eleanor Two full snow days and we are in HEAVEN!!!
