The Douger Chronicles

May Days

It's been a while since I've posted, so I'm going to smash all on May into this one. This will be mostly pictures, sensory overload, I know.....

Early in the month we welcomed our newest little cousin, Boston Noel Isaac, to the family. Congrats Bry and Nat and big sis and bro Maycee and Braxton. He is adorable and we are so excited to have him here!






Then, on a very chilly and damp morning, we went to the zoo with Tate's school class. It's one of Tate's favorite places and we had fun despite the weather. Tate has always had a little bit of a love affair or a connection of sorts with the giraffes. We spend over half of our time with them and he even tried to talk me into taking a giraffe home, if only it wasn't as tall as the house!

Tate also translated what the gorilla was signing to his keepers for me. That's a skill I want him to keep, it helps with both man and ape (although I think most of the apes we meet are outside the zoo). I might need to take a refresher course to help him stay up on it if it's not used in his class next year.

Finally, Last weekend we had a surprise 80th birthday party for Douger (my gramps), the most hilarious man I know. So much fun!

Um, this is Makaylee doing the "Bok Bok Salute" to Gramps. So chick-a-dee-licious!














So handsome! Buy War Bonds!
