Today the boys and I went to the zoo to take advantage of the nice weather while it is still here... We went to see the baby tigers... they are so cute!!! Ethan asked to hold one... hee hee hee... it was nice actually to go alone and be able to zoom through and to go wherever I wanted and go as fast as I wanted... Of course Ethan HAD to go on the train... that was fun and I think that Caleb is enjoying looking at everything now...

fall fun...

We went to Scout Lake Park today and fed the ducks 2 loaves of bread... they saw us coming with the bread and immediately started coming toward us... kinda freaky at first... they are definitely used to being fed... Ethan had a blast... then we walked through the paths in the woods... very hilly... a great workout... and we also went off-roading on some trails, lifting the stroller over logs and fallen trees... fun, fun, fun!!! Grandma Raap met us there with Starbucks - yum!!!

Caleb walking...

Caleb has been standing up and walking all over with this walker-type toy for a while now... I hope this doesn't mean that he will be walking on his own soon... that means TROUBLE!!! The boys are sharing a room now for the past 3 nights and it has gone very well so far... last night they both went to bed at 8:30 and got up at 6:45 this morning!!! Caleb didn't get up at all!!! or at least I didn't hear him... Ethan has been very good with sharing his room... he actually likes having Caleb as a roomie!!!

Congratulations to Arin and Nick on the birth of their 2nd child...

Caleb eating scrambled egg yolks for the 1st time... he loves them!!!

Betty Brinn...

Friday I took Ethan to the Betty Brinn Children's Museum for the "not so scary Halloween" event... he had a blast... he didn't even know what to do first!!! that place is a good place for kids to burn off energy that's for sure!!!
