Rakin' it in

Its fall in Kentucky.

So that means the leaves are fallin'.

I guess Adam wants to pull his own weight around the house.

He can set a good example for Bubby!

Nice work, Adam!

Caleb's First Day at Daycare

This past Monday was Caleb's first day at daycare. He had a great day, and

Adam loved having his baby brother with him.

Caleb is a pretty relaxed kinda of guy.

He rolls with the punches, for the most part.

He surprised me later in the week, and started sleeping through the night!

He is my sleep champion!

Let's hope it continues! What good timing you have, Caleb! Love you baby boy.

One and Done

As part of David's birthday present, I got tickets for David to go see the Reds in the playoffs.

The boys were in full support even if they didn't go to the game.

Caleb told Daddy the Reds were #1 in his heart no matter what.

Yep, this picture was from our seats. I didn't say we had GOOD tickets!



It was fun to be there. Maybe next time they'll win!

Pumpkin Fun

Last week we took our fall trip to Boyd's Orchard. This is the second year we have gone,

and it was really fun!

Of course it's fun when you have a brother like this to play in the pumpkins with you!

Here's me with my two little pumpkins.

Thanks to some steady pumpkins for holding up my smallest baby boy.

The weather was absolutely perfect!


There were lots of good photo ops!

Right away, Adam got busy at the task at hand...

Carrying pumpkins! He thought he needed to carry all the

miniature pumpkins over to the piles of bigger pumpkins.

There were bales of hay to climb (which didn't mix well with my flip flops, I might add).

And play sets and slides...

Plus a little fun for the big kids too.

Such a brave boy!

First Trip to the Zoo

We recently took a family trip to the Cincinnati Zoo!

The elephants were a little scary to be the first things we saw.

Don't worry, Caleb came too. We just put him in charge of the guide map.


There were a lot of birds in here, just apparently not in our picture.

Adam and Dada fed a giraffe.

These are "duck ducks" too, and don't try to tell Adam differently.

Admit it -- zebras are cool any day. I think God still has a good laugh at himself over zebras.

These little miniature penguins (not the correct name I don't think) were the only animals whose noise Adam really wanted to mimic. So cute!

Sometimes I forget the world we live in. Of course, we need hand washing stations near all the animals that you can pet! Let's be honest, I'd want to wash my kids hands...and my own, but still...definitely a sign of the times.

Since these were just his height, I thought we might not be able to leave! Adam was super excited to get his hands sudsy and then wash them off himself!

For the full experience, he also took two rides down the escalator on the way out.

As you can imagine, he passed out on the way home...dreaming of

"duck ducks" and hand-washing stations.

Summer Fun

Just remembering times I don't want to forget...

Adam's New Room

Welcome to my new room!

Have you ever seen so many choo-choos in one place?

Yep, that's a crib. Mommy thought I might still need it but I
refuse to sleep there. I like my big boy bed better.


I love my table, and if you come play with me, I'll pat the chair and ask you to "Sit!".

Mommy thinks these things look nice on the shelf, but I'd rather play with them.

I let her put them there for a picture.

More trains!

Stuff goes in there.

This train used to be my daddy's when he was little. How cool!

Thanks for checking it out!
