Maybe the Zoo

Today the family went to the Memphis Public Library.  Just as we hopped out of the car we noticed Daddy had left his keys locked inside.  Mommy and Leila went inside to play at the library for a few hours while Daddy took a bus home to get Mommy's car and some coat hangers.

After Daddy had given up on the coat hangers, the library had closed, and we'd all settled in to wait for the locksmith Leila announced that she wanted to go potty.  We had to tell her the library was closed so she wouldn't be able to potty right away.  Leila didn't like that answer so she frowned a bit and thought quietly to herself until she came up with a solution.

"Maybe the Zoo is open."

Big weekend in Memphis *and* in Mobile!

This past weekend Mommy drove a lot of her artwork down to Mobile to hang a solo show at the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science where Mommy and Daddy attended high school together.

Leila and Daddy had a great time together - alone in Memphis.  We went to story time at the bookstore on Saturday morning.  Saturday afternoon we rode Leila's bike and played around the house.  Sunday morning we read books and drew pictures and colored by the fireplace.  Sunday afternoon we went to a baby shower for our good friends the McGregors - they are expecting a baby in February.

Mommy made it home just after seven on Sunday and we were all very glad to have her home!

Mommy and Leila will be heading back to Mobile this weekend for the opening of Mommy's show.  They hope to see lots of relatives while they're in the area!
