Picture time!

Tutu kind of day at the Midtown Global Market

Taking time to pose with Minnesota

Patrick and Eli playing Candyland with Quinn. This was our big birthday present to the Q-man and he loves it! (full birthday post coming later in the week)

At Como conservatory. The summer flowers are out now.

Cheese break at the conservatory

Posing at Como zoo. The girls thought Quinn doing this was really funny.

Fake giraffes at Como zoo. Quinn has always maintained that these are his favorite "animal" at the zoo. Maybe because he can ride them?

Spotting Brobee at Mall of America.

No water, no problem!

Swinging. Penelope looking slightly frightened.

Zahra! One of the few pictures where I think she actually looks like me.

Zahra reading with Kara, who we were lucky to have visit last week.
