I started this site in 2005 after our son, Wyatt, was born with a cleft palate. Over the years the posts became less about Wyatt's condition and more about every day life. Seven years later, its a place to chronicle my journey as an Army Wife and a working mother of two children struggling to find balance in life.

Zoo
It was military appreciation day so it cost a whopping $4.25 for both Wyatt and I to go to the zoo. We met our friends AJ (Auntie Jeanette) and Avery. There's a new skilift type ride to the top of the zoo with great views over The Springs. Wyatt liked it more than the animals and talked me into going on it twice! We fed the giraffes and budgies (as pictured. He was quite serious on the merry-go-round and would wave to me for a split second and then go back to holding on for dear life. One of the hippos was resting in the water and came up to breathe and took Wyatt by surprise. He was very startled but enthralled, waiting for it to happen again. Very Cute! I think his favs were the monkeys and the elephant.
