Our spring break zoocation: We went to Como, MN Zoo and Sea Life at MOA.

This is the sequence of events whenever Maya invites Dylan to join our Go Fish game:
Final score: Dylan 19, Maya 6, Steph 1 (and I helped her get all of her 6)
Moral: The odds are always in the favor of the one with the better vantage point.
Guess what? We were going to get chickens. We've enjoyed the eggs from Mike & Jen's and we got the necessary permission from the city and most of our neighbors. (Not the neighbor who has only waved back to me once in 17 years, mows his lawn in the dark and was on his roof during the lightning storm and tornado warning last night, but all of the others were enthused or at least accommodating.) Now we have a puppy, which I knew would be less rewarding than having a human baby, but I guess I had forgotten just how much less! She is learning to go for walks without lying down and to bite the blanket instead of me. When she can figure out where she's supposed to eliminate, then our chicken conversation will resume.
Maya recently received several new outfits from a friend, had several to choose from, and went straight for Bieber!
Not a Bieber fan. In fact, she has been busted listening to Bob Dylan recently. The times they are a changin'.

I looked at this picture a few times before I noticed Lily lurking enviously in the background.
She has growled more in the last 12 days than in all of her 12 years.
