The beauty of the binkie

<p>This week we discovered Jeannie likes to soothe with a binkie. Thinking this might cut down on the spitting up. Wednesday we had a big family day at the zoo for the second time this week. Of course the part I enjoyed most was the ape house. The babies were busy playing together and rolling around in the grass. We managed to sneak Jer in through the members entrance and met up with aunt Gloria. It was a beautiful day out and there was everyone and thier brother out at the park. We all shared some half pb sandwiches and then headed out to the WAB for lunch. Liesl was kind of crazy with Colton on the patio and took off upstairs and hid from daddy in a photo booth. Jer,Scott and Mom came back to the house and hung out for the afternoon and slept through some kids movies with us trying to recouperate from the day. It was fun hanging out with Jer until the wee hours talking. Always an interesting and insightful story from him. Mom and I went up to the cottage with the girls yesterday afternoon. Aunt Barb's handyman is working on renovating the cottage bathroom. Looking forward to that. Jeannie sat in her car seat on the beach with her binkie while Liesl swam and I mucked the lake. She had an awesome time playing in the lake with Oma and I but seriously needed a bath or should I several after being in there. We are on our way to west branch to go to the lumberjack for lunch. Looking forward to seeing daddy again when we get back.
