final zoo pictures: penguins!

-
The penguins have always been our largest stop at the zoo. I adore the penguins - standing around, watching for something. They always look like they're having fun swimming. Then I also think of Happy Feet and am kind of sad that they are so clueless as to where they are (and possibly disoriented).



I love how close you can get to them!


I found old pictures of Moose at the zoo by these very penguins!
Mother's Day 2008 - very first trip to the zoo - not even as tall as a Gentoo

May 2010 - almost as tall as that Emperor
what tall little boys I have!
Do you like the zoo? What's your favorite exhibit? Mine is the pandas - the one thing Omaha doesn't have!

The Way Back (movie trailer + 2 comebacks + a giveaway)

  It's been so long since I've sat here at my computer and wrote something other than an email. It's been even longer since I've written anything besides a book review. It's just been a funky year or two, but I hope to be back more regularly. Hopefully with less filler (although I don't even know if book reviews are filler for me because books are just a big part of my life, but I plan to be even pickier about what I read and share now) and more about the testimonies God is teaching me in every day life. However, this is not the week for that; too many things on my plate.   In light of my comeback as a writer (fingers crossed), I thought I'd share an upcoming movie with you about another comeback. The Way Back is a Warner Bros. film starring Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting, that awful Justice League movie, that one movie about Boston thieves that I won't recommend because the language and some content was awful but it was a well-made film). The movie it...

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...
