The girls and I took a field trip to the zoo with our friends Kelly and Tyler. We went first thing in the morning, so the animals were ready to greet us. We had a wonderful time! Though the animals were great, the girls' favorite part was riding the carousel. M was completely confident that it would be awesome. H was pretty non-emotional and maintained her stoic-but-almost-happy face the whole time. Sweet E experienced the entire emotional spectrum: she started out terrified, looked a lot to M for guidance during the first few minutes, started enjoying it about halfway through, and was exuberant by the end. Classic E.
Kelly and I couldn't stop singing songs from
Lion King.

I guess this is cool. Whatever.
Talk to me afterward, please.
Oh my.
On his way to work, A captured a photo of a to-the-ground rainbow...
...and, a few days later, an in-the-clouds rainbow. Beautiful.
The first snowflakes of the year!

Every time I turn around, a new song has been written and performed by someone in our household, or a dance has been choreographed and debuted. Most recently, the girls have become fascinated with introducing their acts on the microphone. The other day, they took their show on the road, or at least to the sidewalk in front of our apartment. Here is just a taste of the beauty I experienced that afternoon.
