Day at the Zoo
We went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo this weekend. The kids had a lot of fun and the animals were quite active despite the warmer weather. Here’s some of the better images from the day – I’ll try to update later on with some more text commentary but Julie wanted me to get the images…

End-of-Summer Fun
School may have started up again the third week of August (3 hours in the afternoon 5 days a week), with private OT and speech therapy three mornings a week and a new dietary regimen to follow, but we have still found time to have lots of fun already this month! We took Nolan on…

Ohio Vacation 2011, Part 2
Nolan’s first visit to a swimming pool, courtesy of our hotel in Napoleon, OH. He went right in the cold water like a champ, and had a blast walking up and down the steps at the shallow end of the pool over and over, emphasizing his delight at the combination of water and stairs by…

Ohio Vacation 2011, Part 1

31 Months
We didn’t do Halloween costumes or trick-or-treating this year at Halloween, but with several pie pumpkins in the house, I decided to carve one into a jack-o-lantern. I tried to get Nolan’s help with the insides of the pumpkin, but he wasn’t interested in touching it.

Snapshots, Month 29
A few snapshots from the past month, with succinct captions (the better to post this quickly and head to bed!). Another day, another something to get into (don’t worry, it was clean!) Hanging out; I loved the way the light was hitting him (that T-shirt is from his preschool) Nap-time snuck up on him mid-play…
