Our August so far

Yes, time spent in St. Louis is usually a blur for us. Except maybe for Zach, who will ask me questions about the littlest thing months later...maybe I should have him tell me what we did! I have some notes somewhere, and all the photos, of course. So to give you a run-down, and possibly explain some of the pictures, here's what I can remember:
birthday photos at the mall * lots of eating out: Red Robin, Outback, The Melting Pot, Happy Joe's, CPK * hanging out with family, the boys especially loving the time with Angela * having dinner at Mark and Christy's, and the kids meeting new friends * Zach in the kiddie pool at Grandma Jill's * much shopping, prepping, and baking for the birthday party * an evening at Persimmon Ridge winery (and drinking more than we realized) * the big twin reveal: it's a girl AND a boy! for Katie and Josh * seeing Guardians of the Galaxy at the dine-in theatre * playing with Grandpa Ron's trains

Here, today

This is Zach's first day of first grade.

We are only starting to recover from the last few weeks, and our little "Scooch" is keeping us hopping now too.
