Here are some more from the last couple of weeks:
Monday, July 5
Cookout and hang-out at Barb and Ron's house.
Tuesday, July 6
At the park with Emily. The boys get really serious-looking in the muggy heat.
Wednesday, July 7
We took the boys to the zoo with my mom and siblings. Again, there was much humidity and much seriousness+crabbiness from Zach. This may be one of the few times he smiled that day. I don't blame him though...it was awfully hot.
Thursday, July 8
One last photo before Em and Chewy drove back to KC.
Friday, July 9
Saturday, July 10
We took Zach to see the cats at Willie's house. We had Marmalade shaved because he wasn't cleaning his fur enough and it was hard to keep him brushed. He looks a little funny because he's so skinny, but he seems happy and more comfortable. Chloe is a little more plump than she was a couple years ago and is just as chatty.
Sunday, July 11
I didn't realize until now that this was the only photo I took that day. Zach loves berries lately.
Monday, July 12
We took the boys to a place called "Monkey Joe's." Gabe took a nap, but Zach had a good time for an hour and a half. He's more of a runner than a climber and jumper, so he basically just ran in and out of all the bouncy houses and got warned "No running!' a couple of times. We also went to a playground that afternoon, but it ended up being too sunny and we didn't stay long. Frank got a good pic of my mom and Gabe, though.
Tuesday, July 13
Haircuts (Gabe's first-just a little off the sides) and more hanging out. Frank checked out the family's new computer and helped set some things up.
Wednesday, July 14
Goodbye, Aunt Katie!
Thursday, July 15
We did a bunch of things and saw just about everyone on our last day in St. Louis.
Good lunch with good friends:
Friday, July 16
Travel day (and night).
Saturday, July 17
Finally a bit of rest for Zach. After countless screaming meltdowns in Chicago and a couple on the plane, he finally settled in for a few hours of sleep. It would have been better if I hadn't been so worried about moving, waking him, and setting off another round of tantrums. I was pretty uncomfortable. Gabe slept almost the whole time.
Sunday, July 18
Back home...
