Fun Day at the Zoo

Today was the perfect day for the zoo.  We love the zoo & have been waiting all summer for the cooler weather to come so we could go back & see our favorite animals!  With low humidity & a high of 83, today was just the day!  We had Isaac (my nephew) with us today & we met some friends there.  So fun!



To make the day even better, when we were visiting the meerkats, Sam called to tell us to look for the shuttle Endeavor since it was flying over downtown.  We ran over to the open space by the elephants & there it was!  This picture was as it flew away but we saw it VERY WELL!  SO COOL!


Here we are on the Merry-Go-Round-- such happy kids!

And we got to feed the giraffes...

And pet an alligator & snake over by the children's zoo!

Looking forward to many more cool fall days to enjoy the outdoors & animals at the Houston Zoo!

Owen (looking at the giraffe pictures):" Awww I want to go there! They are so lucky. I have to fly on an airplane because it is way way way far away!" Looks like fun!

Today we got together with another set of twins! Caden & Addison are just a month younger than Nathan & Alexa and were born at Texas Women's also! I met their mom (Laurie) through an email list I got on while on bed rest in the hospital. There was another mom who was supposed to join us who also has boy/girl twins their age-- but she couldn't make it. What a picture that would have been!

Nathan McKay Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:37 a.m., weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz, & is 20 in. long Alexa Dawn Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:38 a.m., weighs 4 lbs. 5.5 oz, & is 1 6.75 in. long We are so excited that they are finally here! The C-Section went very well & Alisha is recovering well, with the help of pain meds! Nathan needs quite a bit of help with breathing but is improving. We’re told that he may get his ventilator tube out today & they would help him breathe using a C-pap. He breathes ok on his own so he mostly now just needs some pressure to remind him to breathe. He is still in the highest level of the NICU but is doing well. He’ll be in there for at least a few days after we get to go home. Alexa is tiny but doing extremely well. Alisha was able to hold her while still in the OR before she needed some oxygen help. She only had to stay on the oxygen until 11 a.m. and is still in the lower level NICU. She should get to move to the normal nursery tomorrow m...
