We went to visit the ducks again this evening.

Alexa kept saying, "I want to kiss them!" I tried to explain that wouldn't be a very good idea.

After we got home, Gavin went to bed and Alexa helped me make some cupcakes. She loves helping me in the kitchen. She was very excited to put on her special apron that Great-Grandma Morse made for her.

Her favorite things about making cupcakes: cracking the eggs, putting the cupcake wrappers in the pan, turning the mixer on, and SPRINKLES!

Alexa's third birthday is just around the corner, so this morning I took her to have her portraits taken. She was so cute and they took so many good pictures that I had a really hard time deciding which ones to buy! Enjoy!

10/13/2010 Dentist

Alexa had a dentist appointment today! She was such a good girl for the whole cleaning. She enjoyed having her teeth counted- all 20 of them! The dentist said that her teeth are beautiful. No signs of cavities!

They had a small television in the room and they put cartoons on for her.

Alexa is so silly!

She was such a good girl last weekend when we were out shopping that I let her get some new books. She got some Halloween books and two books about a new baby.

We are so proud of Gavin. He has been sleeping in his toddler bed every night. He falls asleep hugging his football.

When we tell him to go to bed, he runs into his room and crawls onto his bed all by himself. He doesn't even fuss when we turn off the light and shut the door.

His pajamas say "Major Cutie!"

Just a beautiful fall evening

10/05/2010 Columbus Zoo

I was lucky enough to get today off from work. Our friends Kara and Emme invited us to the zoo. What a great day to go! I've never been to the zoo when there was so few people there! No crowds at all- we practically had the zoo to ourselves. Although it was a little chilly, we completely missed the rain. The first sprinkles started falling just as we were getting in the car to leave.

Our first stop was at the new polar bear exhibit. There was an underwater viewing area and it was so cool to see the polar bears swimming just above us trying to catch fish.

Alexa is loving the view!

Hugs for her little brother

Alexa, Gavin, Emme, and Kara waiting to see the polar bear again.

Outside the polar bear exhibit, they had an arctic playground for the kids.

After the playground we had a picnic lunch.

The petting zoo is always a hit.

The kids enjoyed brushing the goat's fur. The goat didn't even open his eyes!

The carousel is always their favorite.

Priceless!
