Reading on the potty!

Ok, I thought this was cute. Janelle loves to "read" books so what a way to keep her on the toilet! Besides, aren't Mom's suppose to think things like this are cute. Well it could be worse...much worse, just ask Brad!

Twisted!

I don't know how Janelle managed this one but she wasn't happy with me when I insisted on taking a picture when she came to me for help! But she got over it, Goofy girl!

Fall is coming!

If these aren't signs of fall I don't know what is. Our landlords came over and brought us fresh veggies from their garden and gave Janelle this cute little pumpkin. Janelle had Daddy help her pick me a bouqet of lovely fall leaves and the evidence of the cool brisk wind that comes with Autumn is in Janelle's hair! I loved the leaves, what a thoughtful little girl.

Syracuse Zoo!

Janelle loved to pet the sheep. Petting zoos are her favorite and she absolutly loves the animals. She even wanted to pet the black bear but thankfully they had that guy gated up well so she just growled at it!

This was a little scary for me. I know how strong those trunks are. If buddy here would have started to raise that trunk we'd have been gone! But he was nice and Janelle has another African animal to add to her "petted" list!

I liked this elephant better, it was more Janelle's size!

Absolute Daddy's girl!

Curling up with Teddy and blanky to Andy Griffith, I tell you Janelle and Daddy are two peas in a pod. But don't worry, Brad's teddy and blanky are blue! :-)

Our mini - Brad

I love this picture! We found out today that we are having a little boy. 99.5% sure! I think he looks just like Daddy already. Although the nose is hard to pin. It could be a Day nose too! But that upper lip is definatly Dad!

This picture is why we know we are in trouble. The bright circle in the middle is our little guys nose. I hope his face doesn't look like a skull anymore once he's out. Brad say's it looks like he's saying "I see you... just wait til I get outta here!"

Grandma, Grandpa, and Sara visit!

Sara was so fun to have around for two weeks. I got to do all the fun girl stuff that Brad refuses to do. He's such a party pooper! She' also the one I blame my short haircut on. :-)

Janelle was quite spoiled to have Grandma read her stories all the time. Janelle would pick one book after another.

It was so nice to have my parents over here for two weeks. We were able to get together with my mom's side of the family (Grandpa Merritt, Aunt Trena and Tracie and Christina) who live 40 minutes north and have a picnic at Delta state park a couple of times while they were here.
