Savannah's wildlife

So we have started to make our way back out into the world - though not without Ryan to accompany us. Here are some highlights of our Saturday trip to the Oatland Island Wildlife center (aka Savannah's zoo). Madilyn was instantly impressed with the parking lot.

And the rocks she got to throw.

This is Audrey's level of participation. Just the way I like it for now.

Madilyn invited me to sit with her in the bird's nest. Sweet child.

Just to prove that Ryan and I were there. We all know the camera was invented primarily to take pictures of the grandkids.

You can't see, but there are deer in the background. We've actually seen a few near our backyard.

Armadillos may have been the highlight of Madilyn's trip. We also saw wolves and snakes (one was just sitting out in the open on the trail. Of course Ryan had to go investigate whether it was real or not. It was.) So these are the animals indigineous to our area.

And for those of you who have been wondering how Madilyn is adjusting to sharing the spotlight... she has been nothing but helpful. But it is the kind of help which must be closely supervised.

And a big thanks to the grandmas who helped us live through our first two weeks. Or at least made it possible for our kids to survive the first two weeks.

We made it! Audrey Lauren Spjut is finally here and we couldn't be happier about it. Although we are a little delirious from lack of sleep - so we're downright giddy. I feel like I'm in one of those military training/sleep deprivation operations where they wake you up every few hours and make you do things. A big thanks to our moms and family who have helped so much. I just don't know what we'll do when it is down the the 4 of us - and Ryan and I don't outnumber the kids anymore...
