"My favorite colors are dark blue and dark pink and gold and silver and rainbow."

Neglect

I can clearly see this blog is a lot neglected this year. We have not, however, been neglecting to make lots of fun memories. And there are photos... on our phones... :)

Both kids love animals. They like to play with roly polys and the toads that live in our back yard. They aren't afraid to hold a grasshopper, anole, or small snake. Maya had a class field trip to the Bayou Wildlife Center in Dickinson in October. They ride a tram through the park and see lots of different animals, including zebras, antelope, deer, elk, emu... She got to have a picnic there, too.We have gone to the zoo to see the zoo lights and a few of the animals who like to be out at night.
Nana and Grandpa came in November for a long weekend. We played at the park, went to Moody Gardens aquarium and spent quite a bit of time out in their trailer. The kids were very excited about it and kept wanting to go out there to see their cat, Whiskers, and play in the trailer. Nana taught Maya how to play Uno.
