Show & Tell

Jade took Baby Squirrel to Show and Tell at school. Don't worry... I called ahead and made sure her teacher was okay with it. T got to come too, and was very excited. He has a hard time with Jade going to school without him. We've been working at the gym, and when Ms. Diana's Pre K class isn't full, he gets to participate. We were invited to come to their Science Fair on the 16th., but I made no promises, as Baby Squirrel is getting bigger and may not be with us much longer.

In the News

Front Page News! The Red Ranger shows up to support Ben & Jerry's Free Ice Cream Cone Day. The ladies from the paper were coming out to enjoy a free cone- when they spotted the unmasked hero. They rushed back to the office to get their gear and made it in plenty of time. What an exciting day for us all!

Baby Squirrel

Thursday, we were all outside jumping on the trampoline when we heard a loud chirping coming from our tree . At first we thought it was a baby bird, but then we saw a baby squirrel making his way back up the tree. The next day the baby squirrel came back down and hopped over towards T, who was jumping on the trampoline. The squirrel put his front paws up as if to climb up the trampoline trying to get to T. T hollered in to me and mom beat me out there. The baby squirrel hopped to her and she backed away, keeping her distance until I could reach Mandy on the phone (she's my own personal Bindi Queen of Nature). Once we got the okay, Mom slowed her pace and allowed the baby squirrel to catch up. The climbed up her leg and cuddled up into a ball in her hand. We brought him in and gave him some water from a syringe. Later we got the proper formula and made him a nest. (From what we can tell he was about 4 weeks old). On Sat. we left for College Station for Jacob Rees' baptism, and had to bring baby squirrel (this is his name now) with us. He stayed in his nest until he got roudy, so we got a pet carrier and gave him some room to roam. When we got back home, we let him out to play- but he was not interested at all!

At the Zoo

Our friend Lillie had her birthday party at the zoo. We got to see lots of animals. T really liked the turtle. We watched the cats play fight!

Rodeo

Aunt Kristina came with us to the Rodeo. We had a really good time. We got to pet a calf and have ice cream. We went through the petting zoo and to the carnival. We rode some rides and had cotton candy.
