Pictures of Sesame Street, first day of school, and others...

This was the girls enjoying the 123 Elmo Live show. Kat never got off my lap or Tom's lap the whole show. She had a lot of fun though.



Jessie posing for a pic.


Kat dancing with mommy. I know I said she never got off our laps, but this dance didn't last more then 30 seconds. We were in the front row so when the characters came off the stage we were really close to them. The girls got lots of high fives from them, even Elmo!

All the girls during intermission.

Jessie ready for her first day of school.

She wanted to pretend to walk to school, even though we drive her there.

She's my school girl now, and she's loving it.

Practicing lining up on the first day. Notice how tall she is compared to the other kids.

We're not sure if she'll be Jojo for halloween, we were just trying the costume on. She was too cute in it not to post it though. As soon as I put the hat on her I said "She looks exactly like Jessie did". If I compared the two pictures I'd have a hard time telling them apart.

Listening to Jessie's new "music player" together. They each have an ear piece on.

Kat with her mega block creation.

Jessie at her new ballet class.

Feeding the budgie birds.

More feeding the budgie birds.

and more feeding the birds.

Mommy and Kat on the swan boat. We have pictures of Jessie and daddy on the boats too, but you'll have to use your imagination for those.

The rest of our summer...

OK, I'm finally posting some new pictures. These are some pictures from late summer.


Here is Jessie next to her sunflowers that she grew this summer. She was very proud of them. Next year we'll work on some more flowers.


Kat was loving the swings on this trip to the park.


I know it's not a close up picture, but this one shows that Jessie FINALLY learned how to pump her legs and swing on her own. Thanks Bepa!

Jessie driving the girls to the park. This will be her last summer driving the car. You can see how high her knees are in this picture. I just can't imagine her fitting in the car next year. Kat will inherit the pink car next year. I think we'll have to put 2 pillows behind her for her to reach the peddles. Jessie started with one.

Daddy got this nice picture of the girls wearing his hats one day.

Kat LOVING the aquarium at John Ball Zoo. She just can't get enough watching "fishies".

Kat hanging out the train at John Ball Zoo.

Jessie posing for the camera.

Both girls, and mommy, loving the pigmy goats.

This is Jessie posing on a frog statue at Fort Wayne Zoo.

I had a request from someone (Mike S.) for a picture of a giraffe, so here it is. This is at Fort Wayne Zoo. We never did feed the giraffes this year so I didn't get any off the girls close to the giraffes.

The girls had a ball watching the sea lions swim back and forth in their huge tank. They would just sit and wait at the window for them to make it back down to their end.

That's it for now. I will try to post some other pictures I have from the Sesame Street show we saw and Jessie's first day of school soon.
