Happiness

This is a sign of a very happy little girl! After four very long weeks, we got the okay to get rid of the hard splint and sling. Her elbow is healed and feeling great. She decided to put some "doctor" stickers on to celebrate! Mommy and Daddy just wanted to celebrate no more doctor appts. Heidi cried every doctor appt...the whole time we were there! She would see the nurse in the hall and start in before we entered the office....heck, she would cry as soon as we entered the drive for the medical center!

What do these two think? Really, I am not sure I would want to know half of the time!

It is really hard to believe that these "two crazy kids" were just babies a few months ago. They are at a really fun age that wears Mommy and Daddy out. We wouldn't trade them for anything....even the little devil...a.k.a. ANDY!

THE MEYER TRIO!

Zoo Trip #4

We spent a day at the Toledo Zoo with Grandma & Grandpa Meyer, Aunt Natalie, Aunt Holly & Uncle Jake, Cousin Jesse, and Little Samantha. Thanks for going with us... we sure had fun!

Aunt Natalie with the girls....Samantha, what you lookin' at?

There she is....what a cutie pie!

Andy wrestles a lion cub.... Mommy is thinking she might have a "wrestler" someday in her house! TAKE DOWN - TWO POINTS!

Playing at the Zoo

Thank goodness the zoo has several great stone statues to climb upon. Cole found his favorite....his close family relative!

Heidi takes a picture with Cousin Samantha!

Is he King of the Jungle... I don't think so!

We took a train ride...Heidi just loves when they toot the whistle!

The Butterfly Kids

Cole makes a really nice butterfly! Speaking of butterflies, we are still awaiting our cocoon to "hatch" as Andy likes to declare. "Snowball" still hasn't come out to show us her beautiful colors. I did some research on how long it takes a caterpillar to come out of their cocoon, and we may be waiting for a while. Oh well, the kids love checking out the cocoon!

Andy has some nice wings. Of course, he thought it was pretty funny being a butterfly!

Heidi wasn't getting the process.... she is such a "ditzy blond" sometimes!

Finally, my last butterfly!

Elephants

It took us 4 zoos, but we finally got to see the elephants! The twins thought they looked big... they are so observant!

Andy decided to give the elephant some lovin'...how about a hug, big guy?

Cole, what happened to your face?

More Zoo Pictures

Three goofy kids... we rarely all look at the camera at the same time. We wouldn't want Mom and Dad to get the wrong idea about taking a million pictures to get one good shot!

These two clowns aren't as big as a Hippo!

She is half way there! Heidi has been "growing like a weed" while Andy is just a pesky "weed"!

Andy takes flight...he is my little zoo lover!

Labor Day Weekend

We visited with Grandma & Grandpa Meyer over Labor Day weekend. All the cousins were there and our good friends came too! It was a lot of fun playing with everyone!

Our cousin Jack is getting so big (not really)! He is still a shrimp, but he is really walking and running after all of us now. That is exciting... someone else to torture and teach really bad tricks!

Little Tessa was there.....isn't she priceless? She is so friendly and happy all of the time. Tessa doesn't walk yet, but she uses those knees to crawl everywhere! She actually had grass stains on her little white knees by the end of the evening!

Let's go Grandpa... I will take you down with my mighty noodle!

Nap Time

Thankfully, the "Dangerous Duo" still take a daily nap. They often sleep in the oddest ways. This is pretty normal... Heidi generally is sprawled out on her back with her arms above her head...

Andy is always in the corner of his bed curled up in a ball. He also has to use his blanket as a pillow.... geez!

This is the beautiful sight we see when they "come to". Is that Sleeping Beauty?

Those little slits do indicate alertness!
