Our minivan is still in the shop. It is being held hostage while insurance companies, appraisers, and mechanics negotiate the terms of our poor car’s release. In the meantime, my parents have generously lent us their Mini Cooper. This car is called Mini for a reason! I don’t necessarily recommend it for a family of four with a dog, but it is fantastic for the city. It’s fun to drive, great on gas mileage, and easy to parallel-park. (I really should have taken pictures of us after a major shopping trip to B.J.’s. It was hilarious. You could hardly make out Zephy amongst all of our many bulk items. He was lost somewhere between the ridiculous amount of toilet paper and the huge bag of frozen chicken cutlets.)
Harrisburg has these metal cows decorated in different motifs all over the city. The boys have deemed this one, the Jazzy Cow, their absolute favorite. It is pretty jazzy.

Luv your pics of Sunken Garden and the river. They make me feel a little homesick…but I really look forward to them. You have a really cute family. I'm very much looking forward to Christmas this year – when my little family goes up there. When we come up Rt15 and hit the river I get a wonderful feeling of "I'm home". Makes me smile just thinking about it 🙂 Sappy, huh?

Luv the pics in Sunken Garden and by the river. Makes me feel a little homesick, but I love seeing them! What a cute family you have…I look forward to your posts. Most importantly…I am looking forward to Christmas when my little family goes up there! When we come up 15 and hit the river I have this overwhelming feeling of "I'm home"!

Hmmm… I am not sure there have been adequate studies of the health hazards of EATING bird poop. Most diseases are transmitted by INHALING the dried spores from nesting areas. Here is a good article on the topic: http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbb&bdrp.htm
It’s likely Zephy’s stomach acid would kill any offending organisms. Let’s just hope he doesn’t acquire a taste for the stuff! I loved the pictures.

Love the mini… Jon tried to fit in one of our friend’s mini and we couldn’t close the door. ha!! Hopefully, yes, spring is around the corner. Such fun pictures. Thanks for the potty training advice too.

Cute pics. Looks like you’re entertaining the boys well this weekend! I’m concerned about the bird poop though. I’ll start praying he doesn’t get some horrid bird disease!!! Ask dad!!!Give them all hugs & kisses from me!- kim
