Elmo Live



Zoe enjoying her tub of popcorn. At one point, she got her whole head in the bucket.


She was so serious the whole time. She loved it and waved to the characters.




Karen and Bigdog came up last week to take Zoe to see Elmo Live. Since I was going along and Wyatt was still free (way to be under 1 little man), I decided to bring him along. Both kids had a blast.

Life in September


Wyatt at 11 months (August). For comparison: Zoe at 11 months


Josh is still living with us for about another month. Zoe is really really going to miss him when he leaves. The rest of us will miss him too, but Zoe loves Josh with a silly crazy all out two-year old love. A love that doesn't understand why he is sometimes gone on the weekends is likely going to struggle with why he moves out. But we are all so proud of him and can't wait for him to begin his journey.

I am going to school. So far so good. Studying with the kids is fun. Zoe thinks Wyatt looks like an embryonic turtle. She also likes to point out everything she can identify in my books. Lots of animals and flowers. I couldn't do it without Kevin. I know some people would argue it out with me, but I can tell you without any doubt or hesitation, Kevin is the best husband ever. He is so awesome with the kids. He went with us to Monkey Joe's and served as photographer. We take turns getting up with the kids. We split the time watching the kids so I can go to school and study and he can work full-time.



We took Zoe and Wyatt to Monkey Joe's last week. Zoe was not a fan at first. But she started riding down the big slide in my lap. And then, she crawled to the top of the big slide with a little help. Much easier on my back than carrying her to the top.



We also went to a Greenville Drive game with Allen, Karen and their two little boys. Wyatt and Gabe chilled while being held (or hanging out in the stroller). Zoe and Josiah spent a lot of their time in the playground area. Zoe wore her boots and a necklace. We did bribe her into the pigtails for the evening. She seemed to like the game, but really wanted to "go play catch, please". She wanted on the field. We all got a good laugh out of that. The better pictures from the game are still on Kevin's phone.
