I'm moving!

No, I'm not moving to a new house; my blog is moving. You can now find me at:  

henhouse.rubberchickenfarm.com

The rubber chicken farm is a website of my husband's, where he occasionally (he is a worse blogger than I am and hasn't posted in 3 years!)) posts about his job, which is a software engineer. My blog will now be just another rubber chicken farm site. It will still be the same ol' blog, just a new name and look. 

You can see a post about what Andrew and I were up to this past weekend if you head over there today. Looking forward to seeing you all over there!

Oliver's Waiting

Oliver is looking forward to spending some time with my parents this weekend. He posted himself at the window yesterday. Poor boy didn't know that it was only Monday and he isn't going over there until Thursday, or that we are driving him. 

Grandparents

At our wedding we had photos set out at the church of our grandparents that have passed on. Recently, we found those pictures again and decided we should have them displayed at home. 

In the back, on the left, is my Dad's dad, and on the right is Andrew's dad's parents. In the front, on the left in my Mom's mom, and on the right are Andrew's Mom's parents. 

It is so nice to have these pictures around to remind us of those that have gone before and the heritage and faith that they have left us.

Feeding Time

The day finally came. The day we got to experience by birthday gift to Andrew. He got to help feed the Magellanic Penguins at our local zoo. We were given a behind the scenes tour first, and then I went back out front to take pictures, while he went into the enclosure with Jamie, one of the zoo workers, to feed them.

He got to pet this little guy, who was waiting at the door when they walked in. He also tried to escape with them. Luckily, they have a 2 door system just for these moments!

They each sat on a rock. The penguins were very excited!

This little gal is Lola. It is her rock that Andrew is sitting on. She is very affectionate and friendly and seemed to like Andrew. She tried walking around behind him and getting more fish from his other side. I think she would have been happiest if he just set the bowl of fish down for her!

This is Herbie. He is almost completely white. He is the oldest penguin they have at almost 35 years old. He has been around for a while and knows that if he just hangs out in his burrow the keepers will bring the food to him. Smart little bugger. 

It was such an amazing adventure. We had a blast and would highly recommend it to everyone!
