Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
We had a couple of trips to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in the last month or so. Managed to get some really good shots, just haven’t had a chance to post before now. One of the main attractions at the CM Zoo is the giraffes. They have a balcony-level viewing where you can purchase lettuce…

We had a trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo a couple weekends back. Finally got around to posting some pictures.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary
Friday was our Wedding Anniversary. I took the day off and we dropped the kids off with Grandma (thanks Rita!) and Julie and I went to The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg just a little ways north-east of Denver. Apparently they’re the world’s largest carnivore sanctuary with over 400 predators. Mostly lions, tigers and bears…

Day at the Zoo
We went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo this weekend. The kids had a lot of fun and the animals were quite active despite the warmer weather. Here’s some of the better images from the day – I’ll try to update later on with some more text commentary but Julie wanted me to get the images…

Update for May 2011
We have been very busy with all kinds of stuff this month, and have not had much time to update the blog for a while, but I’ll try to do a little catching up here. Although school is coming to a close, we were fortunate that Nolan’s placement in the intensive needs classroom gave him…

Strides
Our little guy is now nearly 19 months old, and he’s making all kinds of strides, physically and developmentally. He’s still a string bean—55th percentile for height and head circumference, 3rd percentile for weight—and so active I’m thinking we’re never going to get him fattened up now. We finally got him used to his stiff…

For the Curious…
I’ve had a few requests for a current photo of me, now that I’m 8 months pregnant. So here you go (with my 24-week shot for comparison): Progress is definitely being made, but I’ve still got at least a month to go… Also of potential interest, our registry information (work in progress that it is)…

Rockin’ Sock Club update
I was one of the lucky 2,000 who made it into the 2007 Rockin’ Sock Club from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. We received our first yarn pack at the beginning of March, and the club got off to a good start. The yarn, STR Medium Weight in the custom colorway Monsoon, was absolutely gorgeous. I…

The Persnickety Palate
This is just a heads-up for those of you who are interested in cooking or food in general. I’ve been collecting recipes that we particularly like for some time, mostly for my own benefit and future reference. Recently, though, I’ve starting adding photos and narrative to the recipes, and posting more frequently, and lo and…

Some Things…
…are too good not to share. An example of this is the lamb kefthedes I made for dinner last week, which came out to be the best meatballs I’ve ever eaten, bar none. The photo doesn’t do them justice: They were perfect fresh from the skillet (crisp outside and succulently moist inside), tasted just as…

Stay Warm Out There
We’re having a beautiful warm spring day here in Salem (I have to gloat while I can; the rain comes back tonight), but I know much of the country is still locked in bitter cold. I was particularly concerned about the toes of my delightful cousin Heather in Ohio, so I sent her a little…
