Every Thursday in the month of April, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden stays open late, and has free admission after 5 pm, for a concert in the tulips! The kids and I have enjoyed this for a few years now. It is always a great photo opportunity. Something about tulips makes Silas want to kiss his sister, but she is usually a bit resistant!
We have a few wonderful babysitters from God's Bible School, which is located at the top of our neighborhood hill. The kids really enjoy these girls. They are all very experienced either from larger families, or have been nannies. A neighbor recommended Esther to us a few years ago, and since then, Esther has recommended Rachel, Rhoda, Theresa, and others. Last night, Theresa was watching the kids while we had rehearsal, and she took some cute photos of typical things the kids do together - tackle!
