Spring Snow

On a beautiful day in March we headed up the hill to let Patrick experience the white stuff for the first time. He wasn't so excited about the curvy drive up the mountain but he sure enjoyed the snow. It was a great day for snow in the spring. I wouldn't be so excited if I was on skis but this was a day for sliding around in our ski clothes so any snow will do. Maybe we will get to go again before the season is out if the weather permits.

Los Angeles Zoo

There is nothing like the zoo on a Saturday. Since we were in Pasadena for the 1/2 marathon on Sunday, it seemed like an obivous choice to drive over to the zoo which was only 10 miles away. All the animals were out waiting to be seen or maybe wondering why they were being seen. Patrick seems to like all animals but he is epecially fond of those that move. Today he didn't much appreciate the Lions who were napping but found much joy in the Sea Lions who were swimming around their pool.

It's Official!!!

The process began, well, a long time ago, but on Feb 3, 2010 Patrick legally became a Turner. It was the last, the final, the ultimate piece in the puzzle but now our little dude is officially a Turner. It was great to have my parents, our friends, the Kaisers, Kim Evans and the boys and of course the Honorable Cheryl L Leininger as witnesses to the proceeding.

Hangin with the cousins

The memorial service celebrating the life of Patrick's 94 year old great grandmother also allowed us to spend time with the cousins and visit the local attractions. Patrick enjoyed the time with his cousins Grady and Abigail and his Nana and Papa as well. He was a super traveler on the plane both ways from BUR to DFW to ATL and back. The pic on the lower left of the collage is from the Atlanta Zoo where Patrick thoroughly enjoyed himself even if it was chilly outside.
