Visit to the apple orchard

The four of us at Eckerts apple orchard

The kids had such a fun time picking--and eating--apples

Helping Daddy pick some beauties

EJ was our best picker--he pretty much picked the whole bag by himself

The computer pros

Paco recently updated our computer and gave EJ a tutorial on the workings of a computer. Within a few years EJ will probably be teaching us things about the computer!

Our version of Dancing With The Stars

Spider-Man!

He spotted it at Target and it was love at first sight. He just HAD to have this spider man costume. He would love me forever and I would be the best Mom ever if I would only get him this costume. Who can deny begging of that quality?

The muscles are my favorite!

This girl is TROUBLE!

This little lady is going to give me gray hair. Her favorite thing is to climb up onto our end tables, when I'm not looking. Usually she is after the remotes, but here she is trying to eat a kleenex.

First Day of School

School started up again for EJ right after Labor Day. He was so excited to go back and see his friends and play. I can't believe next year he'll be starting Kindergarten!

Visit with friends

Hannah and EJ in May 2008--around 2 and 2 1/2 years old

Hannah and EJ in September 2010--4 and 4 1/2 years old. Oh, how they've grown!

The new additions

Molly was pretty interested in little man, but only to see how fast she could push and torture the little guy. I think we'll wait a few years before providing her with a younger sibling :)

Magic House with the Zaisers

These were from a few weeks ago when our great friends came to St. Louis for a visit. We met up for a very fun day at the Magic House.
