I wish Lauren, the one from Maine, had a computer...

...so she could see her kids hanging at the zoo.

Lauren is one of my oldest friends and here are her two eldest children, Isabella and Django. (There are 5 altogether.) They are visiting with their grandfather for 12 days and we get to hang with them for a bit and WOW they look exactly like their parents!
(I say WOW because that's what Lauren has always said in a very positive and enthusiastic way ever since I have known her in college...On the phone today she said it loudly enough that Silas said it from my arms...then she told me that it was the first word of her first three kids!)
They are such a great family...living in an old hotel deep in Maine with a cow that they actually milk everyday, chickens, ducks, pigs and a donkey. A truly inspiring and disappearing kind of lifestyle.
They don't have a computer so I guess Lauren will be going into town to the library to check this out...she is missing Isabella and Django just enough to do that...so, maybe, HI Lauren! I miss you!
(here we are at the orangutans...with guitar guy who provided us with a cool zoo soundtrack!)
