Zoo 'Eggs' travaganza

Since we have a season pass, I decided to take the boys to the zoo for their annual Easter egg hunt. It was as crazy as any event at the zoo. We also got to see the new petting zoo exhibit. I only had my phone, so the photos aren't that great.
We are also happy to report that Chad and Shawna got to take their baby home after only two weeks in the hospital. She is eating on her own, and maintaining a constant body temperature, which are the requirements to escape the NICU. So, at 3lbs 12oz she got to go home. She is adjusting well to her new world.

Welcome Audrey Weaver

Welcome Audrey Weaver, 3/11/10 at 11:59pm! Chad and Shawna are the proud new parents of sweet baby girl Audrey born six weeks early weighing 3lbs 10oz. Although early, both Audrey and Shawna are doing great. Mat and I have been to the NICU twice already to visit Audrey. We're fortionate that the hospital is only 5 minutes from our house. It's expected that she will be there at least two weeks until she can eat regularily and gain weight. We are so happy to welcome our new neice into the world!
The arrival of a new baby in the family was an exciting ending to a pretty uneventful winter. Caulder and Kessler finished swim lessons a couple of weeks ago. We're looking forward to more lessons in the summer. We have been trying to sneak out into the foothills to go hiking whenever the temperature allows. The attached hiking photos are of the four of us at nearby Lucky Peak Lake. I also included one photo of the boys sleeping together in Kessler's bed. Caulder likes to sneak into Kesslers bed every now and then, and it's pretty cute to find them there in the morning.
We have also finished booking a 2 week trip out east in August. Both my sister and Mat's brother are getting married on the same day. One wedding is in New Hampshire and the other in New Jersey near Philidalphia. So, we are going to divide and conquer. We also decided to add adventure to our trip by taking the train from Salt Lake City to Boston. It is a 63 hour treck cross country. We've never taken the train to travel, so it should be an interesting experience.
