Play date with college friends

My good college friend, Sarah, moved to Arizona about 2 years ago. At the time they moved so her husband could go to school out there. They planned on moving back to the area. After her husband graduated as a nurse anesthetist, he found a job in Arizona that he really liked. We hope one day God will bring them back to this area, but we know wherever they live we will always be friends. Well, Sarah is in for a visit. Today Zander and I met her up at Cosley Animal Zoo in Wheaton, IL with other friends. We came a little late because we decided to visit a family friend who was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. We arrived around 11:45 a.m. and only Sarah and Molly were still there. Sarah has a son named Josiah and he is almost one month older than Zander. Josiah was born on February 26, 2009 and Zander was born on March 24, 2009. It was fun to see Sarah and Josiah again. He has gotten so big and he has so much hair. Even though Zander is younger than Josiah, I think Zander is longer than Josiah, but they probably weigh around the same. The Cosley Zoo is a small zoo with a petting zoo. I was surprised, but it was free. That was nice. Molly, who went to college with us, met us there too. Molly has 2 girls. The oldest, Kaylee, is 4 1/2 years old and her youngest, Brianna is 1 1/2 years old. It was so cute because when Kaylee wanted to pet the animals she would ask them, "Can I pet you?" At one point in time the gum Kaylee was chewing fell on the ground. She picked it up and brought it to her mom and said "Mom, get a wet wipe and wipe it off." She was hoping her mom would wipe it off and she could continue to chew it. Both girls are adorable. We had a good time.

Today was also nice because McDreamy got off work early tonight and was home by 7:45 p.m (he started earlier than usual at 1 p.m). I kept Zander up so he could put him to bed since he did not see much of him today. I enjoyed my 3 days off and bummed I have to go back to work. But I work tomorrow, and then I am off Sunday. Sunday we have another busy day planned.
