Huh. It's seriously already October?? How did that happen?
I'm not really sure what my excuse is this time...we've been really busy, but that really should be even more of a reason to have things to post. Except, sadly, I have not been so hot at taking pictures this month. So, you'll have to rely on the written word for the most part -- and a promise to do a better job this month.
We started off September in St. Louis for my friend Mary's wedding. Will stayed here and had loads of fun with Nana and Grandpa while Todd and I enjoyed a great weekend with some of our favorite friends. Remember the mention of bad picture taking?? Well this weekend was no exception. I have very little to offer...but here it is!
And as an added surprise, Mom and Nick happened to be in St. Louis the same weekend! We were able to spend a few hours with them on Sunday before we had to fly home and took in a few sights. Who knew St. Louis was such a cute place? We went to a really cool (and HUGE) sculpture garden (which of course Todd loved) and then checked out a little of downtown St. Louis. And again, I didn't do such a good job of picture taking. Mom had a few more than I did, but I don't have those digitally. So, just take my word for it. They were there. And so were we. Together. :)
As far as the rest of the month, Todd did his Tour de Cure bike ride a few weeks ago. He didn't tackle the 100 miles this year, partially because he's been fighting with his knee most of the summer. But Todd and Chris did go out and participate in the shorter ride. Melissa and I opted not to join them this time, so again, no pics. Sorry!
We've also been all about the potty at this house lately. I know, just what you want to hear about, right? We have started down the potty training path at our house and it's gone pretty well. Will does great as long as you remember -- just don't count on him telling you that he needs to go. But he is all about the treats and toys that have come along with doing a good job! And did you know they make dinosaur pull ups? Throw in some football underwear and you have a little boy who thinks this potty thing is not such a bad idea.
Here's the little guy with his biggest prize (read, Mom is a SUCKER), his own dinosaur train! He is still infatuated with all things trains AND dinosaurs, so needless to say the PBS show Dinosaur Train is a staple at our house. And now he has his very own train...can it get any better??
October really starts the festival season around here -- it's finally not crazy hot and there are all kinds of things to do during the beautiful fall weather. So I hope to do better and actually take pictures when we're out doing things...I know, crazy idea. But to start you off, here we are at an art festival in the town square by our house. Will loved the art car and kept finding things on it that Todd and I didn't see -- he doesn't miss a thing!
Oh yeah, and Todd turned 40 this month! And of course, I have no pictures. That is partially because we really didn't do anything -- just relaxed with a few friends and some football. Happy birthday Todd!
So here's to the start of fall. Football, cooler weather, and all kinds of fun picture-worthy activities! See you soon...I promise. :)

Two of my most favorite people in the world -- too bad they have to live so far away. :(
Love ya Lees and Scott!

And to show you that we do just hang around the house, here's my guys enjoying a lazy Sunday morning -- complete with paper reading. :)

I saw this car driving down hwy 6 one day on the way home from work I was kinda scared to get too close for fear something would fly off. Of course I and many others also almost drove off the road looking and driving at all of the cool stuff on it. Pretty crazy
