Family Time at the ZooBoo

The Indianapolis Zoo has their "ZooBoo" event every year leading up to Halloween. We went as a family and also were joined by Kyle's sister Emily and our niece Penny. Here are some pictures and a video from the day.

Trunk or Treat

Sunday we went to the annual "Trunk or Treat" at our church. This involves several of the high school and junior high students decorating the trunks of their cars and handing out candy to the little kids. Here are some videos and pictures of Ryne's experience. After about 3 cars he got the hang of it and literally became a candy snatching machine.

Ryne and Jackson Piano Time

Last weekend we went to Cincinnati to celebrate Jenny's 30th birthday. Their son Jackson and Ryne get along great and had a lot of fun together, especially practicing the piano!

Fall is Here!

Fall is my (Krista) favorite season. We have had a chance to enjoy the weather and do some fun fall activities. Here are a few pictures of the season so far:

Ryne, Elmo, Walmart

We had to make a run to Walmart this weekend and decided to kill some time in the toy aisle before dinner. We are continuosly amazed about how obsessed Ryne is with "melmo" since we don't really watch Sesame Street much. But he does have several Elmo books.
