MoBot

I Heart St. Louis City. Mostly when the weather's nice. Not when it rains incessantly and not when I get a parking ticket in front of my own house on street sweeping day. ANYWAY, there are so many COOL and FREE things to do here which makes a mama like me have heart palpitations...nothing's free anymore, right? Well the Missouri Botanical Garden is on Wednesday and Saturday mornings (for residents) and we partook on a nice Wednesday last week. They have an awesome exhibit right now where they've built tree houses (made out of trees, not IN the tree) and they were so interesting to play in and admire. Having a husband in the construction business, I kept thinking, "Kurt would really appreciate the way they did ____."


They also have a huge children's garden and since last summer Lily was just able to sit up, it was really fun to watch her run and play...



If this picture doesn't summarize the end goal of every move Lily makes with her brother, I don't know what does...



Grateful for:

#17 The Lord pairing fearlessness with toughness in Lily

#18 Weston doing a FANTASTIC job at the audiologist as we and others had prayed for

#19
Weston's hearing test coming back as temporary hearing loss and not permanent

#20 Friends willing to help

#21 Simply Lemonade mixed with seltzer water on a sunny day

#22 Trees against a cloudless sky

#23 American Idol...which really means couch date with husband
