Backyard Landscaping and a Trip to the Zoo



Since we live in a new construction home, Mick has been going a little stir crazy with nothing to fix or renovate. So, over the Christmas break, he started to landscape the backyard. While Mick was hard a work doing back-breaking labor, Cash and I played in the yard and enjoyed the very un-wintery weather. It's still a work in progress, but it's looking great already!

We also took Cash on his first visit to the Houston Zoo on Saturday. We're not sure how much he actually saw, but we know he didn't like the smell of elephant poo, (who does?) as he started to wail as soon as we came downwind of it. I can't wait to take him back and watch him get excited over all the animals!

That's better!
