Harvest Festival





Last week was the harvest party at the church, the kids had a blast, here are some pictures of the little buckaroos.

Orangutans



We went to the zoo the other day and had a great time. Every time we go we like to see the orangutans, there is a whole family of them, dad, mom, baby and grandma. The baby is so cute, this last visit we were able to see the baby nursing! Then the mom climbed up the rope with the baby still attached makes me glad I'm that me children nurse nicely (most of the time:)

He stands!





Tobin is getting more mobile by the day, it is not uncommon to find him in the kitchen, after I have sat him in the living room! He is still just army crawling, but he can get to where he wants to! He is now pulling up on the furniture!, He is very pleased with himself! Here are some recent pictures.

Train Park





There is a wonderful train park near us, we went recently to their fair ans saw many wonderful model trains set up on display. It reminded me of all the years Dad would bring down his train and set it up at Christmas time. with the holidays fast approaching, I find that I am greatly missing family in WI and friends in NC. We are making new friends here and new memories, but nothing compares to family and good friends.

Justin's birthday


I cannot my oldest baby, i mean child, is 7! Wow has the time flew! He had a very full day with a morning soccer game, which they tied, a after noon party with pizza and cake and a evening hockey game with Daddy, his very first. He was so very excited all day, he told us in the morning " I can't believe that I am seven" I know, me neither! He was thrilled to be going to a hockey game and overall had a great day.

Kiah sleeps!




Last night we put Kiah to bed as usual, thought she was asleep...later when I went to put Tobin in bed I found Kiah asleep on the floor in the hallway diaper undone, with a fire hat on, it was so funny, she was snoring!

Tobin sucks his tongue





Tobin loves to suck on things, toys, fingers, a pacifier, even his own tongue! It is hilarious, he sticks out his tongue and then sucks on it.
