The Donaho's

Gus still LOVING Kindermusik. We met Stella on Tuesday when we dropped some food off at the hospital. We can't wait to play with the Hankowiak's soon! Picnic at the park on Wednesday They both thought this was pretty cool... at our church on Wednesday night... Our prayer garden is a popular place these days with kids and butterflies The dynamic duo: Madison & Garrett Gus gazing at the butterflies 8 Months Old on Thursday Camera day on Friday at Stroller Strides. Garrett is quite the photographer.

We went apple picking with our playgroup at Henrietta Creek Orchards. Since this is Texas, and we just had the hottest summer on record, there wasn't tons of apples to pick. However, it was a pretty cool place, and the kids had a blast, but they left us wanting to do more picking. (Garrett corrected me ~ it was actually "apple twisting". You don't pick the apples...you twist them off the branch to preserve the blossom, according to Farmer Sue). First stop was the chicken coups to give the chickens grass hoppers.

Garrett, Heston & Venessa Twisting an apple Immediately enjoying the apple. Gus really wante...

This post is a bit late. Really late, actually. But before I post the tons of pictures that I have from Halloween festivities, I wanted to post this. Our baby is 8 months old! He is a happy boy. He is very attentive, especially of Garrett. The minute he hears Garrett's voice, he is practically doing somersaults to find where that voice is coming from. he's cracking up at me:) He is army crawling everywhere. Just this week he has started crawling with a purpose. Like he intentially goes into the playroom, or knows how to get to the kitchen if he knows I'm in there. Before, he just wondered around. He has 5 (big!) teeth, weighs 21 pounds and is 29" long. He officially out grew in infant carrier. These days he prefers to crawl, but likes to also play in his bouncer (as long as I put it outside on the patio or by the back door so he can watch G or the dogs) and swing on the playset. He still loves Stroller Strides and being in the stroller, and for the most part, he is sti...

We've been wearing these around the house for the past week just to be silly. For some reason, it never gets old. And it is good entertainment for the boys at restaurants:)
