Sept. 27th - Oct. 11th, 2013

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are having a good week! Here's a little of what we've been up to...

 I turned...well, let's just say...another year older...on the 27th. :) Micah knows that I'm an animal lover at heart so the day after my birthday he took all of us a nearby zoo/aquarium. We had a blast!

 Got an awesome view of their tigers. Right up close!

 What does the turtle say? I still don't have a good answer for that one.  :)

 Meerkat village

 I know it looks like I'm pulling on the poor thing's ear, but I'm not-honest!

 Owen likes to screech really loud and pull Seth's hair when he leans back on him in the stroller.

 Seth smashing his nose against the tank. You will start to see the boys getting stimulation-overload and that "glazed over" look in their eyes in the next few pictures. :)

 No comment.

 Seth's about had all he can take in at this point.  :) Last stop before heading home. Micah had a little surprise party waiting for me at home when we arrived. It was very sweet and I had a great time, even if I was turning__. 

 Bath buds

We walked into the boys' room the other day to find...this little man STANDING in his crib! Yup, 7 months old and he's already pulling himself up. Is it me, or did he JUST start crawling, like yesterday?! Well, ready or not, he's quickly learned over the past week to proficiently pull himself up to almost anything in the house. He is on the GO!

 Little breakfast bystander....

 Blake trying to tickle Owen and make him laugh, I think Owen's not quite sure what to do. 

 I think Seth's finger is about to get bitten at this point. :)

In other news, the boys and I are holding down the fort this weekend while Micah is away at our church's annual Men's Retreat. It's raining outside and the boys are almost finished with a precautionary quarantine with a sickness going around and thus we have not left the house in 5 days now, so needless to say, they are getting just a little stir-crazy! Thankfully, Great-Grandma Ensmenger in CA sent us a package that arrived today with a few new toys and books. Yay! We're saved. I'm beginning to think the boys aren't as fond of Mommy Time as Man Time. :)

        "Are we made of MEAT?!?" Blake, on the shocking realization that if he had a pet T-rex, it might eat him.

        "It feels salty to me" Seth, on the seasoning of his hard-boiled egg.


Hope you all are going well! 

Love, 

Micah, Kari, Blake, Seth and Owen
