7 Month Update

We took Easton in for his pre-op check-up yesterday........he weighs 20 pounds, 15 ounces - up 2 pounds in one month. No wonder my lower back is killing me!!!! He's all cleared for his surgery in 2.5 weeks....it's started to freak me out a little bit. I'm having flashbacks of being on the surgical floor again, walking the long hallway after we handed him over to his surgical team....just hoping everything goes well and that we're able to bring him home as planned.

Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!!!

We took the boys to the zoo on Monday....it was supposed to be the nicest day of our "vacation" week so we pulled Brady out of school and headed south! Brady was very excited to wear his new hat and "gloves".....



We were all bundled up and ready to go...note all of the empty parking spots in the background...we were parked right outside the main entrance. Monday mornings in November are obviously great days to go to the Cincinnati Zoo!!

I don't think poor little Easton knew what was happening....

This will be one of my favorite pictures for a long time I think....

A penguin, a monkey and a robot walk into a bar.....

Okay, maybe not....but they went trick-or-treating at least!! We didn't really plan on actually trick-or-treating but the big boys were really into it and totally picked up on the concept right away (and stayed in the wagon) so we went out for close to an hour. They did great and had lots of fun!!

They got lots of good stuff.....

Finally, ready for bed!!
