Charles Hangs Out At the Tulsa Zoo

Tessa's Uncle E and Auntie Seana are zookeepers so Charles got to hang out with us at work today! He met the Giraffe Girls Lexi and Pili, then hung out with African Penguins Mimi and Rocky. He liked them but wants to be a Rockhopper instead! Next stop was a visit with the Chimpanzees Hope, Morris and Jodi. He had a great day and felt on top of the world!

Toffee Is At A Ski Resort

Toffee at Holiday Valley ski resort in Ellicottville, NY. It's really snowy here!

Owen's Teddy Bear is in Ohio

We have had a great visit with Owen's Teddy Bear here in Ohio. He spent time with some of our friends. Duffy the Bear is Mickey Mouse's best buddie & Dug from the best movie UP had a great time. Owen's friend also spent time reading the book "Do You Want a Hug" to our friend the Steelers Bear who DID need a hug after the Steelers lost their football game. We went to the Football Hall of Fame this year for the Enshrinements. I loved seeing Jerome Bettis inducted.
We are now sending him off to visit our grandchildren in The Woodlands, Texas.
We will be checking in on the blog about the rest of his travels.

Charles Is Having Fun!

Charles got to attend some classes today with Peyton but then got into a little too much fun with Uncle E and got arrested, luckily Tessa's great Academic Record allowed the cops to let us go after a few hours in the patrol car!

Toffee is in New York

Hi from "Toffee", now visiting a suburb of Buffalo, New York. I have been enjoying the winter weather here, having just returned from a few days of skiing at a nearby ski resort. I also saw Niagara Falls!! and celebrated a 4 year old cousin's birthday. This travel around is so much fun!

Beast Mode

Wow...what an exciting weekend! We went to two UCONN games. Friday night we saw a hockey game Friday night and a basketball game Saturday. Sam fell askew at the hockey game. It was so loud. I don't know how he did it! UCONN won both games. The Huskies are amazing! We also went bowling and played on a skateboard. Have a fun week Trevor and friends!
