Pictures

Sorry I am late in updating the blog. I've been a little busy with all the traveling and working we have been doing. I feel like I am playing catch up all this week. This past weekend we went down to Oregon to spend time with family and go to Terry's memorial service. We decided to drive down Friday after Dwayne got off work so we could get up early to enjoy the Oregon zoo on Saturday. Luckily, Dwayne was able to get off work around noon so we got an early start on our drive down. We stayed with Dave and Charlene so we got to see and visit them and their boys. It was a very nice weekend but I can't wait until Evie sleeps a little better at other's houses. She still wakes up frequently during the night. But then she has never been as good a sleeper as Sam.


Evie, Aiden, and Sam on a tractor at the zoo. Grandma Mary is holding up Evie because the boys didn't want to share their seat.

Another picture of the kids on some wooden horses in the barn at the zoo. Apparently this is a good accomplishment for Aiden as he was scared of these horses the last time he was there.

Lions are back at the zoo!!!!

I uploaded this picture because it was such a gorgeous fall day. The colors of the trees were beautiful, especially with the sun shining. The air was crisp but not too cold and all the animals were out and about because it wasn't so hot.

Here is a snapshot of Dianne's siblings and mom. Her dad passed away earlier this year.

Dwayne, his mom Dianne, Dave, and Stephanie.

Dianne loaded us up with lots of presents to bring home for the kids including new play hats and Evie got a whole set of different Disney princess shoes. Here is a picture showing her just loving the new shoes and hat. She is also carrying around the stuffed kitten we picked up at the zoo and she refused to let go of for several days.

We had a great time and even though it was semi-sad, the memorial service was fun too. We got to see so many family and friends that we hadn't seen in forever. Many of whom had never met our children yet. Dwayne was so proud showing off his family. Now I need to catch up on some badly neglected housework.
