I typically do not slow down enough to write or read for pleasure on a regular basis but one thing I do is capture life's moments through the lens of a camera. This isn't something I claim to be good at. In fact, photographer doesn't even come to mind when I think of who I am. What does come to mind is I'm the one with the camera journeying through life as a wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend.

6.30.13 - Our Cincinnati Zoo Visit

Just a few highlights:
The Rhino had Ty asking "can we go now" and he was
so excited to ride the train that he could hardly contain himself.
Jalen loved that he was able to touch so many snakes.  He even 
got Lauren to touch one.  We also got to pet a baby aligator.
