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.

Ryne during professional pictures

Ryne and his cousins got professional pictures taken outside today. I captured this between shots while Ryne took a break. Don't worry, he was fine after his stumble.

September So Far...

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks:

This is the awesome rocking horse that Krista's Uncle John made for Ryne. It even has a blond streak to match Ryne's.

Banana is his favorite word and his favorite thing. We cannot go to the grocery store without buying bananas, and he likes to hold the bananas the whole time he is in the cart.

I know Ryne is 16 months already, but we had to take his picture next to the 1 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

Zoo Day

Ryne and I went with my mom to the Indianapolis Zoo a few weeks ago. Ryne liked the dolphin show and loved all of the animals that he could see up close (like the ones behind glass). But, I think one of his favorite things was sharing Dip n Dots with his Mommy at the end of the day!

Ryne at the State Fair

We're way behind on updates, so here come several in the next few days. Krista took Ryne to the State Fair one day a while back. Kyle is not a fan of the fair, but even he admits these pictures look quite fun.

My daddy from the "city" might not approve of this.
