hey everyone!
how was your weekend? ours was great- a perfect mixture of laid-back/relax and fun activites! we did a lot of fun spontaneous adventures (my favorite kind of weekend).
My mom and I kicked off the weekend with taking the kids to the Indianapolis zoo. We love going to the zoo and usually go multiple times during the summer into the fall, however this was our first time going this year!
Everytime we go, they love getting their faces painted-- and it's something different everytime! Jonah couldn't wait to be a monkey (which kind of looks like it was thrown/splattered on his face- ha!!!) and Jor loved the princess mask (likely because the word princess was included)!
We had a blast- there is a new tiger exhibit where there is only glass top to bottom and the tiger walks RIGHT next to you-- insane. The are HUGE (almost as tall as me- but that's not saying much i guess;). really cool. another favorite is the Oceans exhibit where you can pet the sharks. We love our zoo- it's always adding great exhibits with an interesting twist!
I spent alot of the weekend catching up on scrapping assignments (that i can't share yet- but soon!:) and reading Room. It took me 2 and a half days.
Completely chilling. But such a wonderful/interesting book as it's told from the perspective of a 5 year old. It was a great book and page turner for sure.
Yesterday we met todd's dad halfway from illinois for a great lunch-- so great to visit with him and then came back to go to VBS!!! wooohoooo! Jonah has been asking when will it be VBS since snow was on the ground- they are super excited and loved the first day!
Then last night Todd and I headed downtown for a Derek Webb + Sandra McCracken concert. LOVED it. We both have been fans for many many years- since Derek was in Caedmon's Call. It was great to see them again and enjoy a night out.
It was at the gorgeous Redeemer Presbyterian downtown- i didn't realize it but that have a really neat Arts Ministry. very cool!
Derek even sang an old favorite Caedmon's Call song... i got it on video for all you CC fans:) but having trouble uploading! i'll keep trying :)

That looks like a good book! Need to add it to my request list from the library :)
Love the new blog look. I celebrated 32 this weekend.
cute face painting! we love getting to the san diego zoo as much as possible, but summer visits are just to darn hawt for me! Looks like you are having a great summer Jenni!
Oooh ,looks like fun! Loving the blog look too! I'm not sure I could read Room, I think it might creep me out too much. I was in a verrry testy mood the week I read "The Lovely Bones" way back when!
