Walking and more...


The past two weeks have been all about books. We read and read all day long. Kate can point out dogs, cats, elephants, monkeys, and tons more. She loves her lil people book with tabs you open to find things. She has a really good memory. Again we think she will probably cure cancer or do something wonderful. (remember 99% for head size here)

For FHE monday we all rode our bikes down to the pumpkin house. They sale pumpkins for a great price. Kate picked her very own pumpkin. She calls them balls. We also decorated the house with the scary Halloween decorations. She points and says BOO! She is so funny.


We went to the zoo. Kate loved it! She pointed at everything. We spent more time holding her so she could see up close rather than riding in the jogger. It was a supper fun long day. First to Ogden for Troy's final triathlon of the season then the zoo then to the Wilk's for a BBQ. 16 hours later I think we made it home.




This was a few weeks ago. I am just slow to blog. She is a cruising now. Everywhere she can go.
Which of course means she falls and then we have to kiss it better. But she gives me a kiss, I don't kiss her booboo.


Here we are helping mom dig a hole for the "fat albert" pine we bought. Kate was the measuring stick.

How fun! I can't believe how fast these guys learn. It is crazy to think that Carter will be doing all that stuff in a couple of months. The zoo looked really fun! We should go to the park or lunch or something sometime.

Don't you just love the zoo? Congrats on getting your application approved soon. It is so much work! We are just getting started. I don't feel totally ready for #2, but feel like we need to get going in case it does take 4 years. You never know. People don't understand that it isn't important to us if Emily looks like us. I think it is funny that they assume it matters and try to make us feel like she's ours because she looks like us. Oh well. I actually do think she looks a bit like Ryan, but a lot more like her birth parents. We just say thanks, too.
