Atticus just LOVED the waterslide! We lifted him up when we hit the water so he wouldn't go under, but I don't think he would have actually cared. We'll have to meet up with his cousins to swim more often.

  

Just need a picture of Aaron under water! I think Atti calls this his 'two-fingered-belly-button-jump' (he's the unique one in the family...)

 

Dillon stayed in the water almost as long as the big boys; paddled all over the pool just as happy as can be.

  

We went with Carrie, Chris and the boys to the Pet Expo. It wasn't much of an Expo, but the boys all went for a ride on the ponies. Vin had to pry Atti's hands off the saddle horn. This was his second time on a horse (the first time was when he was 6 months old) and he loved it. Think we'll have to get him a pony!?! There was also a petting zoo that had goats that Atticus took a shine to (get him a goat, too...?). I also want to take Silas to obedience classes when he gets here (the kids and I sure miss that dog) so I was able to look into a few options. Other than that the Expo was a bit of a dud (kids still had fun).

 

Stole this picture from Allie's blog; it's just too cute how they are doing the same thing as they also wear the same thing. The weather has gotten pretty chilly (Vin is suffering already!) so we dug out boots, mitts, and toques. It's cold enough that Atticus made no attempt to remove any of it. Just wait until the snow comes!

Warming up in the hot tub at Allie's dad's house. Dillon and the guys took a raincheck, but Allie and I took a dip after supper with the other 3 kiddies (should've gotten Dill in there in his neck tube).

This will likely be my last post on this blog (assuming I get myself in gear and get another one up and running). If I have your email I will add you to the list so you can read it.
