My toddler tornado....

Jude has this lovely way of maniacally destroying the house as I get ready to go anywhere these days. If I have more than an inch of bare floor visible at a time, it's a miracle...here's just a small example!

Peekaboo, Sadie!

Jude loves Sadie, the new kitty - and she's getting used to him, too. They like to hang out under the dining room table together.

My domesticated men...

Making pickles with daddy with our loot from the garden!

Franklin Park Zoo

On Labor Day weekend, we took a trip with the Beans and went to the zoo. It was so much fun - and Jude's favorite part was the gorilla exhibit. It made mom and dad sad, though.

Making cookies....

is a job Jude takes very seriously. As well as making sure the dough tastes ok!

Goofball!!

I love this picture because it just totally captures Jude's true personality. He is such a goober - and constantly just tries to grab the camera lately whenever I attempt to take his picture. He also loves to put stickers on his face, ha.

Ohhhh the Wells Fargo Wagon.....

So, we have a lot of updating to do. We'll start with our trip to the Gilford Old Home Day parade where we went to see the Wells Fargo Coach. We could have ridden in it, but figured Jude would have more fun watching the parade. So instead, Daddy just had the honored task of paying the pooper scooper lady.
It was a beautiful day, and Jude loved rockin' his cowboy pants (and eating a lemon)!
