Two cute fledgling wild beasts who pretend to accept captivity and the rules of their existence. And a couple of giraffes.
The tiger in the background gave grandma a good show while we were there.
This kid was quite entranced by a number of the critters we saw that day.
I explained I don't know how many times to Johnathan that John is a highly talented professional stylist, but he approached the experience with his usual suspicion and skepticism.
Now that's a handsome kid.
This cute girl was there and somehow managed to talk me into paying for her haircut too.
Hey, no one said good eats weren't messy.
A heap of Barnhurst and Fairbanks kids.
Always a treat to see Grandpa Horrocks!
Future Chess Club president?
Johnathan got this Easter egg hunting thing down pretty quick. I'm pretty sure I heard him singing the "Clean Up" song while darting around Alex & Amy's back yard filling up his shopping basket.
Emily has a busy pre-school!
Snow in Dallas, or, as the thumpers here call it, the Pale Rider.
One of life's simple pleasures: packing peanuts and a cardboard box.
Johnathan improves on the opportunity to just sit and be.
Grandma J came to vist. And quilt. And play with the grandkids. And make frames.
Johnathan loves cheesecake. Obviously.

Johnathan finds his niche in the new kitchen.
Emily's self portrait.
Johnathan pondering this strange new device that makes such curious noise...
The Johnsons came and spent a few days with us. We found a GREAT restaurant called The Bavarian Grill.
Entryway at the new house.
Emily was a bit sick when we moved in. Here she's crashed out at the Residence Inn in Plano (where we lived for a few days until the movers brought the furniture).
