Dollar Day

Meryl, Jack, Eddie and I enjoyed dollar day at the zoo today. Meryl's favorite animal is Peanut Butter the dog. Strange that we go to a zoo to see a dog. Good thing it only costs a dollar!

Our New Pet

It looks like we're going to call him Moses since that's what Meryl and Jack have said every five minutes since we brought him home. He's very sweet and has graduated from the garage to the downstairs den since he proved to us that he can use the litter box. I had Meryl going for a minute when I told her that he would get a sticker for going to the potty :)

Notice the color of his hair? Finally Jack won't be the only redhead in the family!

Moses?

Well, it looks like we're getting a cat. A friend of ours found the most loving orange tabby and it needs a good home. It's a long story, but the cat does have an owner. And that owner has given us permission to adopt the cat. We just found out his name is Rusty. However, my friend had already renamed him Moses. Eddie doesn't really care for either of those names and Meryl is insisting on Milo. We'll let you know how it all turns out!

Fall

Meryl, Jack, Eddie, my two brothers, William and David and I did everything "fallish" this weekend. A corn maze and dairy farm on Friday, the children's museum Halloween party on Saturday and the nature center's fall festival today. I've definitely had my fill of hayrides with two wiggly pepple on my lap, but I'll take another s'more any day. No pictures this time...I thought I lost my camera. I was thrilled to find it tonight.

Like father, like daughter

Addiction

Fast forward a few years...

First Camping Trip

Meryl and I went on our first camping trip together last Friday. We had a great time sleeping in a tent, roasting hot dogs and making smores - all firsts for Meryl. Here's a picture of Meryl sporting her new backpack/sleeping bag. Jack was packing to. He didn't realize he wasn't going, but he had fun playing with his cousin Cash instead.

What's wrong with this picture?
