Fiesta!

Who wants to come and visit us for the Balloon Fiesta?  It's really cool, and so are we, so somebody come!

out to the zoo

There was a new baby elephant born at the zoo on Sept. 2

It was so fun to see it walking around a little tipsy and playing with it's mama.

She was almost as cute as the 3 little monkeys we brought to the zoo.

summer's end

It's the end of summer...

but the start of school for Mr. Ryan.  He was very nice and wanted to include Andrew in his "first day of school" picture.  Andrew cried all the way home from dropping Ryan off yelling, "Go back, go back, Ryan, Ryan".  You can check out Ryan's preschool adventures this year on his preschool blog run by his teacher.  (I have the link under family).

1/2 way there

Mabel's signature "I love life" face 

6 month stats:

27 inches (90%)

14 lb. 4 oz. (15%)

Head 75%

So she is tall and skinny, lucky girl.  

mabel is a sitting pro now and I even saw her get up in crawling position today...yikes.

Happy Birthday Allie!

You're the best Aunt Allie!

When I looked out my window on August 29, 2003,

this is what I saw.  

and this is what we looked like.

After awhile, we started to look like this,  

and sometimes this,

and when I look outside, it looks a little more like this.

But I think it all looks just as good, don't you Spencer?  

Happy 6th Anniversary!

yummy rice cereal

She still isn't so sure about this eating food thing. Maybe when we give her something more than just mush she'll be more excited about it.
