His favorite character is Chase. The show is on Nick Jr. and features seven rescue puppies. Each of them have special rescue duties which are sort of based on their breed. All of their names, breeds and rescue duties are puns which makes the show entertaining for adults to watch with their kids.Chase – Chase is a German shepherd and he is the…

We Love Our Library
When we moved to Crystal Lake (Chicago) I knew that Bear was going to get bored quickly once his siblings all started school. This is the first year that I have Monkey in school full time and am home with just my youngest. I knew he would need to develop better social skills and interact with kids his age. We can’t afford to put him into a preschool, so the next best thing is our local library. The Crystal Lake Public Library is one of the top rated libraries in…
Read MoreMy Thoughts…
I didn’t know what to title this post, but I do know that I should write a little something before I have to get dinner out on the table at 5 o’clock. So here is what I have been thinking about lately. “I wonder if Chris is okay and not trapped in the floods out in Phoenix” “I hope Goose figures out what she is going to do after high-school, soon. She has her priorities strait but is college really in her future? I think I need to pray more…
Read MoreA Mother Will do Anything for Her Child
This is a true story about what went on in the Talbert Zoo over the past four days. My life as usual was put on hold because of my three-year-old. Saturday night we got home late from visiting my in-laws in Sacramento for the Fourth of July. The next day was pretty typical. We went to mass in the morning as a family, got home, and the kids played outside. Chris left that afternoon to train for his new position in Chicago. After he left, I unpacked from our trip,…
Read MoreIs it June Already?
I can not believe that it is June already. May was so busy that if I blinked I would have missed it. Here we are welcoming a new month, a new season, and new possibilities for the Talbert Zoo. Last week I took a couple of days off of blogging. I was ready to give up on all of my websites and just be a mother and wife. This decision was due to the fact that we learned that there is a 99% chance that we will be moving to…
Read MoreA Boy and His Hat
Little Bear loves hats. There is his puppy dog hat. And his new puppy dog hat. And his favorite red sun hat. He even takes a nap with his hat. He wears a hat when we go for walks. And while playing outside on the swing set. Bear loves hats. Yesterday, Chris said, “I can not believe I have a hat boy. I never thought I would have a son that always wore hats. I guess now I know what to get him when I travel.” This morning Little Bear…

Read MoreThe Talk, a Date with Bear, Lent and Other Stories from the Zoo
As I write this I am unable to think of an appropriate title. By the time I get to the end of this post hopefully I will have thought of a good title. Yesterday I was out of the house all day long and away from my computer. Usually I spend the whole day at home. Yesterday was an exception. I dropped Monkey and Kitty off at school at 8 o’clock. When I got back home I had to gather a few items and then rush off with Little Bear…
