Our Ordinary Miracles

Last weekend we went to A Day With Thomas in Baldwin City. The kids have been excited about this for weeks! Thanks to Noni & Pop Pop for a super fun day!
We got to meet Sir Topem Hat, which Julia was particularly excited about.
When they were done saying hi and posing for pictures with him, Julia started sobbing like we had never heard before. True sadness. We finally got it out of her that she had wanted to hug and kiss Sir Topem Hat! So obviously we had to get back and line and let her make amends. We got to ride Thomas himself and the kids loved it!
They even got a certificate to say that they had ridden Thomas. Serious stuff!
There was a little shop there too, and Shane found an old fashioned laptop!
There was also a petting zoo there. The kids' love for animals is really starting to show!We went to the T-Rex restaurant in The Legends the other day. It was so fun! The kids are into dinosaurs a lot lately. Sometimes dinos have to go to timeout. Sam said that they bit him!
We had a cool table and a long-necked dinosaur (a long-neckasourus) kept leaning down and we could touch it. Julia thought it was neat when it got close...
But not too close!
We have already gotten our money's worth of our season passports to Worlds of Fun this year! A few days ago the kids got to take Gigi to show her all their favorite rides.
Sam didn't want to ride some of the rides this time. He preferred the nearby puddles for his source of entertainment!
But he did love the kiddie roller coaster and rode it 11 times.
June 2, Shane and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary! We went out to Capital Grill. Yum! Sam was a little sad that I was leaving though, so I had to sing him his favorite song and have a cuddle before we left.
And as Shane posted below this, we found out that we got the house we wanted! It's an amazing deal on a foreclosure, and will need lots of work. But we are so excited to make it our own. We are praying now that our home sells quickly and that things go smoothly. Home buying/selling is SOOOO stressful! Thanks for all of the prayers and offers for help!
