At the zoo.

We took the boys and Matt's cousins to the Rochester zoo yesterday. Ethan is at the right age that he really enjoyed the animals. He said his favorite animal there was the elephant. This was Aidan's first trip to the zoo. He was so good. He kept pointing at the animals yelling, "I see." And the picture above was from when he first saw an elephant. His eyes got so big. He loved the monkey area too. The only bad part about the visit is that Matt got food poisoning after eating a "zoo hot dog" and spent the night sick. He said he is never eating a hot dog again. Ethan says he wants to go to the zoo again after he figures out it was a petting zoo and he was worried the lions and tigers would bite him.

Ethan with the pumpkins

Here are a couple pictures of Ethan in the pumpkin patch. He isn't sure about the weeds in the field so he wouldn't get to far in there, but he did enjoy apple and pear picking in the orchards. The pictures turned out so nice.

Aidan in the pumpkin patch

We had some fun this weekend and picked pumpkins at Grandpa Rob's farm. I love trying different shots with the camera. Although Aidan looked upset he still had a good time. The sun was in his eyes. He is my little pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.

"Hippy Kid"

Here is a new picture of Aidan and his cool dude sunglasses!

Ethan's 1st Day

I am writing this at 10:45 am and I have to pick Ethan up at 11:30 from his 1st day of Pre-School. He was a little nervous this morning and didn't really want to eat breakfast. He was excited about going but was hoping that I would stand out in the coat room and wait for him there. He cried when I told him good-bye and Ms. Colleen and Mr. Phil tried to make him feel ok. It seemed like the boys were a little more scared than the girls. He will have fun and I hope that he makes friends and that I have taught him to be polite and how to behave. People have told me that kids always behave better when the parents are not around, but I still get nervous. Mommy also cried on the way home from dropping him off today. I can't believe that he is that big already, he is such a joy to have. I miss him already, it is way to quite in this house. Aidan likes to nap in the morning. I will let you know how he does later. But enjoy the pictures i took this morning. He got his haircut yesterday and the lady did a buzz cut after Ethan told her that he wanted her to do a spike one.
