Alexandria Zoo

While we were in Alexandria we
made a stop at the zoo since we get in
free-- this zoo is nice and shaded plus
we got there at 9am and pretty much
had the zoo to ourselves!

Meeting Baby Jackson

We took a day trip to Alexandria this weekend
so the we could see baby Jackson! I saw him at
birth but this was the first time I got to hold him and
the first time the kids got to meet their new cousin!

Potty Training begins

Avery received her very own potty this weekend.
She likes to sit on it without a diaper but doesn't
understand the concept.  I have no high hopes of her
training soon or anything just trying to get her
comfortable with at least sitting on it.  She thinks
its really fun...

Kitchen Renovations

We have been updating rooms in the new house
since we moved in.  The kitchen is the biggest project
so far.  This week we got new countertops and backsplash
installed.  We are very pleased with the results.  We
are hoping to redo the floor in the very near future.

First Day of Kindergarten!

Aaron on his first day of kindergarten!

Savoring our last hours of summer!

We enjoyed a nice evening in our backyard-- the last
summer hours were passing by before our boy starts
Kindergarten!

A new cousin

This week we welcomed the birth

We cant wait for him to meet his
cousins!

Aaron's friend Tyson invited him to spend the morning
