I’m Sitting Up!

zoo-0

After quite a while of trying, crying a little, and trying some more I think I am getting the hang of this sitting up thing.  My next project: crawling.  After that: hiding Dad’s keys. He already loves it so much when I get a hold of his glasses!   Mom and Dad have been taking us to some really cool places lately.  Last weekend they took Dalton and I to the zoo.

I got to see a lot of really cool animals, including a little deer that was just my size.

They even have helpful little “fair warning” signs about which animals you might want to take home.

There are a lot more pictures to see.  Go here to see them all. I better go now before Dad catches me on the computer.  I might have some explaining to do.  Bye bye!

Thomas the Train

October08 (33)

This weekend we traveled up to Palestine, Tx to see Thomas the Train at the Texas State Railroad Museum.   Dalton is really into Thomas and he had a blast.

There was plenty to do there with toy trains to play with and a small petting zoo.

This is when you know you are a hard-core Thomas fan.

After we got home Dalton just had to get out his Thomas train and take over the living room.

With all the attention on Dalton and Thomas though, he still likes to make sure his sister is having a good time as well.

It’s been a while

With all the activity in the financial markets at work lately, I forgot to take the time to share pictures with everyone.  Oct08-5Now that the weather is starting to cool off, the kids have been busy playing outside and getting ready for fall.  They have been picking out pumpkins and helping Mom decide what they want to be for Halloween.  (It’s a surprise!  Unless you ask, then we’ll tell you.)

Addison is working really hard on becoming mobile.  She has almost mastered sitting up, and she can roll around the room with the best of them. 

Oct08-53

Since the banks see fit to grant us obscure holidays like Columbus Day,  we took the opportunity to go to the Wonder World cavern in San Marcos.

Aside from the cavern, they also have a small wildlife park and an anti-gravity house where water can flow uphill!

There are a lot more pictures online (because I know you love them Mom).  Just click here.
