the last few days in pictures

friday night was a thrill a minute with the utah flash!

don't let the face fool you. he loved every minute of it. lots of "yessss!" and high-fives and air punches. he is obsessed with basketball, have you heard?

but, pearl's face is spot-on. basketball is too loud. she cried and cried. we left before half-time.

pearl in happier times (an hour earlier).

getting ready for church on sunday. church is always wonderful, but it is especially so when you don't have to speak. (last week. blech.)

monday was zoo day with the cool craigs. this is the resident gorilla at the hogle zoo. just seconds before i took the picture it proudly ate its own poop. this was, hands down, the highlight of the visit (that is, if you were a craig boy).

elliot measuring up with an orangutan. but he eats pizza, thankyouverymuch.

i think giraffes are my new favorite animal.

elliot and issac on the train. right before we got charged by bison and almost died. (really!)

and finally, this is me smiling at the warmth and sunlight we have been experiencing lately. my body and my spirits are defrosting.
