Let's Catch Up

So I haven't done this in a while and once again, pregnancy is preparing me for sleepless nights so might as well be productive.

                                                  

                                            

I had to add this picture.  Ryan, Jessica, and Audrey came to visit us for my shower and we went to the park later in the afternoon.  I think the boys had more fun than Audrey and Joey.

Our nephew, Matthew, had a project for school that entitled him to cut out a paper doll named Stanley and send it to a family member so that Stanley can experience new places and things. We had to keep a 5 day journal of things Stanley did and places he visited.  It was actually a lot of fun.  We decided to take Stanley to the National Mall and show him some of the Nation's treasures.  We felt silly taking pictures of a paper doll, but we would do it again in a heart beat.

Our neighborhood is really nice because it has playgrounds close by and not many children so we feel like its our own playground.  Joey loves to run and play so we took advantage that Kevin was home one afternoon and let him enjoy the last of the falling leaves.  Its nice to see the seasons change and not just plain ol' cactus all the time.
