Jam packed Weekend

Saturday
While Ronin’s Godmom, Nikki took Candi to see Sex and The City Sean watched the kids – as a belated mom’s day gift. It was awesome and inspired and appreciated (the gift AND the movie!) When we returned and woke up the kids we prepared a BBQ feast for Nikki and the family. Ronin enjoyed his corn on the cob and chicken and KETCHUP (that would be Sean’s doing) and he loved the new trains that Nikki bought him. It was the first time Ronin has even shown shyness but within a moment’s time he was loving on Nikki and loving the new TRAINS!! When it was time for her to go home Sean scooped him up and brought her to the train station and was very happy that she got to be on a train – which can be a major event for Ronin.

Sunday
We took a family trip to the Bronx Zoo. This was the first time I have been to Zoo since I was pregnant with Autumn. The walking was quite difficult and S.L.O.W but I did it! We walked for at least two hours and Ronin said he wanted to see monkeys and lions. We also saw seals, bison, baboons, butterflies, deer, a bear (on top of a rock which was cool,) chipmunks, and peacocks. We had just hit the African exhibit to see the giraffes (at Ronin’s request) but then he wanted to get FOOD (hot dog) and head back home as he was tired and Autumn was exhausted. After his nap he played some more with his trains and Sean and Ronin watched all kinds of great trains on Utube.

It was a great weekend, filled with laughter and fun and Sean and I are thoroughly exhausted but great parents! Which I now understand makes my life complete.
