In March, I got a new job that's closer to my home town. There are lots of perks of working in a small town hospital, but the biggest perk is that McRae has the best babysitters he could ask for when I work--Mima and Papa! McRae has always loved to be outdoors and especially loves animals. His visits to my hometown are much anticipated because he gets a lot of both of those--perfect! On one occassion (in April), we visited my grandpa's farm to allow McRae the opportunity to visit some animals he'd only seen in books. He was a little timid at first, but then the excitement just took over.

He wasn't too sure about these pigs at first....

McRae Lane--The McRae's were some of the first settlers of my hometown.  I wanted McRae to have a picture with this street sign for posterity's sake.

And right here on the corner of McRae lane is a new LDS chapel being built!  Very exciting for this little town.  Their current building is very old and the three wards are bursting at the seams.  I'm sure there has been a lot of progress since I snapped this picture.
