Zoo Time with Deke

This week, Eric was away on a work trip, so mom came to visit and help me out. It was so great to have her here and spend time together. The best thing we did was take Deacon to the zoo for a special fun day.

Since Jasper arrived, Deke's been having a bit of a hard time adjusting to no longer being the baby in the family. We've been trying to give him extra special attention, and since P&F went on a field trip to the zoo a few weeks ago, we decided it would be nice to give Deke a trip there of his own (okay, Jasper came too but he slept 95% of the time). Here are some pics.

The gorilla on the left is holding her newborn baby, born just a few days before we visited.

Here is my favorite picture from our time together.

It was such an amazing day with Deacon. He's like a different kid when he's one-on-one. We had so much fun laughing, eating ice cream, and watching him enjoy all of the animals. I am so happy mom and I got to make him feel special and have such a great time with him.
