Wurth Farms

Here we are at the local pumpkin patch. We went with Abby, and the kids had a ball riding horses, feeding ponies, taking a hayride to the patch, and basically just playing around.

More Stuff

Okay so I realize I have more video of Avril. I'll try to get some of Alex next time he's up to something. Things here have been pretty slow this week. Spent some much needed time with the fam over the weekend and had a greeat time. Grandpa passed away and I'm totally bummed, especially since I can't get to the memorial service. That's a big part of my life that is over. Since then I can't think of anything productive at all except I've read two paperbacks and finished some laundry. Of course there is always Avril's tumbling class. Saturday we'll be taking the kids to the pumpkin patch so that should be interesting.
Here is Avril enjoying a praying mantis.

Zoo

Here we are having a fabulous time at the zoo with nana. The kids had a ball! Okay, so did I. ;) The St. Louis Zoo is without a doubt the best zoo in the country in my opinion. Now we're getting ready to leave for Beanbah's. Bye!

:)

It's been an oddly busy couple of weeks around here, but I can't place my finger on exactly what we've been up to. The month started off with my best friend having a baby and shortly after, me finding out we're expecting another one ourselves! We're very excited, and it is due May 23rd. Other than that, nothing really has been going on. Avril is still really enjoying her tumbling class - hopefully the videos will upload correctly. They're a bit dark; we look through a tinted double-sided mirror. Alex is reading better all the time and I think he's having a great time doing it. Frank is knee-deep in classes and I still don't really get to see him often. I'm only six weeks along, but appear to be at least three months. After two c-sections my tummy muscles are next to nothing. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Oddly, I don't really feel like eating that much even though I'm not sick. But I do feel like just laying around not really doing anything but reading. Next week is Alex's fall break, so it's going to be fun - mom and I are taking the kids to the Magic House and to the zoo. And that weekend we'll be (hopefully) visiting Beanbah and Grape. So I'll have more pictures then.

Avril at her new tumbling class

I'm testing out my new video camera. It's zoomed in all the way here, so it is blurry - that's the only bad thing i've discovered so far. If this loads okay, I can do more of these video things.

Just Around the House

Don't have a whole lot to say, just thought I'd put up some new pics. This is about as goofy as you'd ever see Alex act.
I'm making great progress on the decorating of the den. So far living in this house, it is the last room to be worked on. I adore this paint color. Please ignore the empty frames and the "Body by Jake" contraption. ;) You do what you gotta do.


Just general playing around the house.
