Cross stitch project and Abigail's things!

Holy Moses

Silver Creek Designs

Last Saturday when Meghan and I headed for the Zoo... we stopped and found her crib, and then started for the Zoo and it started to STORM... so we went to Keepsakes in Cincinnati... There I bought the 25 Count Evenweave in Potato so that I could start this project.

We ended up at JoAnn's too and bought the flosses needed so I could start it.

I worked on it this weekend... and Look!

This is fun... but it is gonna take quite a while to finish!

Friday while we were out... we went to Babies R Us... and I found the SOFTEST Fuzziest TURTLE blanket... it was so awesome... Abigail had to have it! That is all there is to say about that... I spent a pretty penny on this lil blanket... but she Had to have it!

I also wanted to show you the set that Meghan has chosen for the baby room... It is called Jungle Jill... and has all the Jungle Animals... It is adorable!!!!!

That is all for today... I have had to split it up in sections... but I wanted to show it all to you!

Have a great day... Take care... and Keep crossing those stitches...

Which I am sure is going to be Abigail's favorite place. There is tunnels and all kinds of learning exhibits... that are built low to the ground and close to the small ones eyes... It is so nice...

They have these Giant frogs in the center... that have buttons on their backs... when you push them... they make the sounds that they make... You can pose on them... Here is Meghan and Jacob on the frogs... They are so nice... There were several small schools there that day and the leaders in the school were NOT watching the kids...so that was a mess.

Zoo Visit April 10th

Meghan and I went to the Cincinnati Zoo on Sunday April 10th to see the new baby Giraffe!

At this time they did not have a name for her... and for BONDING purposes she was going to stay with her mother inside seperated from all.

When she was born... she stood over 6 FT tall and weighed over 145 lbs... LOOK how cute she is!

Iwanted to get some pics of Meghan pregnant for our scrapbook so some of these shots show this very well...

The flowers were in full bloom and several professional photographers were taking pics. They were gorgeous...
