Christopher's 4th birthday and more

So I used to be pretty good at posting things as they happened, but lately, that hasn't been happening. So instead, you get a single post with a few things. Probably keeps it more interesting that way anyway though.

Chris had his 4th birthday on August 30th. We were all going through a stomach bug, but mostly everyone was okay on his birthday during the day, so that was nice.

Here's Chris blowing out his candle:

Here's Chris with his birthday cookie. He wanted birthday cookies instead of a cake this time, so that's what we did:

Everyone checking out Chris's presents and getting ready for ice cream:


You may have noticed that we go to the zoo a lot. Yes, we do. We have the season pass and the kids love it, so we go. Here are some pictures of our latest trip, most are pretty self-explanatory:






I had to throw this one in. I'm not sure how well you can see it, but the snow leopard was sleeping in the barrel and it totally cracked me up, so I took a picture:


Alex has started playing soccer again, and this is a picture from his first game this season:


In other news, Abby is getting her first tooth. I first noticed how close it was two Sundays ago and noticed that it was cutting through last Saturday. If I hadn't seen it, I would have had no idea she was getting it. She's a good teether.

So that's all for now, sometime I'll post more. If you want to hear more about what we're up to, you can always check out my other blog.
