All Grown Up

Congrats to our favorite Lukums!  He graduated last weekend from Point Loma with a B.S. degree in Biology-Chemistry with honors (magna cum laude and an honors research project).  So, basically, he's a huge smarty pants!  We are so proud of him!  That makes three (yes, three) Tatum boys to have graduated from PLNU, and four Tatums if you count little 'ol in-law me. :)

Proud parents!


The whole gang


The following day we all went to the San Diego Zoo for some good old fashioned family time!  I have a special fondness for this zoo, since I spent many a spring afternoon there researching & observing for my bio classes.  It was so fun to see the world through Kaleb's eyes, especially since he's talking so much now and is basically the cutest thing ever. 


"Aunt Megan, no more pictures!"


I think it's hilarious how Matt carries Abby like she's a football.  Truth be told, she loves to be held like that, and after a few minutes of holding her you're forced to switch positions because she's, ahem, filling out nicely. :)  Check out that sweet blond head of hair!


My favorite animals - the giraffes!  In their new exhibit, too!  The babies were so cute!!  Did you know that when giraffe babies are born, they fall six feet to the ground?  A fall from that height seems scary, but it's actually critical for them to take their first breath.  And there's your random fact of the day.


ANTICS!
Every. single. time.


Love. 
And tiredness, after a long & blissful weekend with the family!
