On Friday we went to the zoo with my mom, sister-in-law, my niece, nephews and their friends. I don't know what John David was excited about more - the zoo or being with his cousins, but I love how this picture captures his excitement.
I'd like to say that I'm back by popular demand, but truthfully, the only person who has even asked about the blog lately is John. The break I took was due to several reasons, some too private to share in blogland, but mainly because I found I was spending way too much time on the computer. Here's what you missed, in chronological order, not order of importance: 
I discovered a delicious cup of decaf coffee - at Walmart for only $2.94! (That's the price for the package, not just the cup!)
I discovered wild muscadines growing in our backyard...
And the butterflies that the muscadines attract
John David had a birthday!
We took a family vacation to Gulf Shores, AL
John had a birthday!
I'll try to post some in the next few days to give some of these events their proper mention.
