Not Sleeping Here

Pumpkin Patch 2010

Race For the Cure 2010

Today was the Race for the Cure here and I am proud to say that 10-weeks post pardum I ran the 5K with my mom. We have run it together since it started in Tulsa and I was not going to miss it. It will always be a special race for me since my mom is a survivor. In running I celebrate my Mom, my Aunt Jane and my cousin Michelle.

Here we are post race. Aunt Kiki was gracious enough to hold Mera while I ran.

My amazing Mommy.

And Mera asleep again.

We do our part for the race and provide all of the awards for the runners. Here is a shot of the trophies we made this year.

All you Need is Depends and a Hose

I am not going to explain why I had some Depends laying around but I did so Nanue and the girls put them to good use.

Nanue's Sept. Visit

She helped out so much while she was here and we miss having her. We hope she come back soon and brings Big Papa. Here she is helping with bath time.

Mera is an amazingly happy baby.

The zoo has member mornings on Saturday and members can get in at 8am so we went and it happened to be enrichment day at the zoo so the keepers organized a bunch of activities for visitors to see.

Mera scoring some Nanue time...or is it the other way around.

Hey frog.

They wagon is our ride of choice for the zoo lately.

There was a tree set out for the giraffe to eat.

Baby Bottom

D-Rae's 1st Day of School

She didn't save the apple for her teacher.

Hats

Matt's Aunt Kristine made these adorable hats for the girls.

All Smiles at 7-Weeks

Before we forget

From Gleason: This weekend, when the grandparents couldn't make it to Tulsa, Darby was trying to wrap her sharp little brain around it on the way to the zoo. That's when she said from the backseat of the car, "If Nanue and Big Papa don't come, I'll pull your pants down."
And...
Georgia realized she could touch her tongue to her gums. Proudly, she said, "Look Mama, I can touch my lungs."

Am I Crazy?

I let the 2 big kids get the paint out last week while I tried to make dinner and hold Mera. Luckily it was warm enough they could hose each other off before coming in the house. There was only a small hand print of blue paint found in the house later.

Pete and Pam Came to Visit

Can you believe everyone is looking at the camera, even Mera.
