What a gorgeous day



The boys and I went to the zoo today with Dominic and Kristin. The weather was perfect! And the zoo was practically ours alone. As usual the monkeys and giraffes were a big hit with all the boys. We even saw something none of us had ever seen before, an elephant drinking. When he (?) would suck the water up into his trunk, it sounded just like one of us sucking the last bit of drink through a straw, and then the rushing sound of water as he poured it into his mouth. It was really cool, although the boys probably weren't as impressed. Alex was disappointed that he didn't get to see his friend Tarantula. But strollers aren't allowed in that building and I couldn't just leave Zachary outside! We spent a bit of time just playing in the children's zoo play area. What a fun, fun day!

Wee Play again

Playgroup decided to invade Wee Play again this week. As promised, I remembered the camera and have documented the mayhem. Alex enjoyed riding the roller-coaster this time, in addition to pushing and riding everything he could get his hands on. Zachary even got in on the fun and joined the music circle with Dominic and his Mommy, Kristin.

How old are you?

That's right Zachary, you are 5 months old!
Zachary's doctors appointment went well, aside from the crying jag caused by his vaccines. He is 16 pounds 15 ounces and 26 inches tall! Those numbers put him in the 50-75 % range for both categories, a very well proportioned boy.

Did I win?


Alex competed in his first road race today! Phil took him along in the jogging stroller for a 5K along the water trail. Zachary and I were their official cheerleaders. Despite getting trapped behind a wall of walkers at the beginning, the guys posted a very respectable time, and beat out the other stroller-runners. Not bad for a first-timer!

Going Home

We have come to the end of our vacation. Our trip home was kind of a fiasco, but we all made it home safe and sound.
Thank you Gma and Gpa! We had a fun time and miss you already.

Happy Thanksgiving



Turkey day is here. Auntie Nichole came 'home' for the weekend. We had our typical low-key family dinner. Just a quiet day around the house, except for Alex's piano recital.
