What's New??

So what's new with us? Just the usual work and play and all the things in between. We've been to the zoo a few times of course, gotta love those free days :) Getting ready for halloween and picking out costumes and such. This past weekend kristin and her family were in town and they stopped by for a quick visit. Riley had a hard time sharing some of her favorite stuff, but we are working on it:) It's hard when you are the only kid there all day, and then people you don't get to see very often are over too. Riley got to have lunch with her cousin Duncan, yummy spaghetti!!!! Riley's favorite! We also got to meet the newest addition to the family, kristin and mike's daughter Beatrice. She's a cutie, but Riley wasn't too interested. She pretty much said "cute baby, cute shoes," and went back to playing. Our friend Chad was in town for the weekend as well and made the mistake of making fun of David for doing girly things with Riley, like playing tea party. Well Riley heard the word tea party and went on a mission to get her teaset and (after some prompting from mommy) enlisted Chad to play tea party with her. So of course I had the camera handy for that :) The other two pics are just things I thought were funny, like Riley being goofy before bedtime, pretty much a nighttime ritual, and Enzo cuddling up to the big bear in Riley's room. David's been really busy at work, I have been having a great time with book club, Riley's new favorite thing to sing "twinkle stars" pretty much all day long, and of course Enzo's newest passion is the dog park :) We are all pretty excited for Halloween, Riley chose a monkey costume at the store and Tiff made her a really cute banana bag for trick or treat, I will post some cute pics closer to Halloween. Until then, I hope everyone is well.

Enzo's first trip to the dog park

We are so excited, a dog park finally opened up in the area!! Now we have a place to take Enzo and get him all tuckered out. That guy has a lot of energy to burn and although our backyard is a decent size . . . it just wasn't cutting it. We were a little worried going in, especially when we pulled up and saw there were about twenty other dogs there, but Enzo did great. He was just so excited to get in there and play, he played great with the other dogs, and he ran his butt off. Most of the dogs just hung out and played fetched . . . but Enzo had to scan the perimeter of the whole park, which is pretty big. I swear he did it in record time too :) We were supposed to take Enzo last week to play with the Miguel's dog, Wrigley, and the Gott's dog, Snoop, but we had to cancel. We were pretty bummed that we had to miss all the fun, but when we took Enzo today we actually ran into the Gott's there anyway:) So Enzo got to play with Snoop, and Riley got to play with Anthony. We hung out far away from the big pack of dogs, but after the initial excitement wore off Riley had more fun playing with the tree and Anthony than anything else. I think David had just as much fun as Enzo, he was running around almost as much as the dogs. My favorite pic is Enzo chasing David :) After Enzo stopped panting long enough to drink some water, we took the kids to the kiddie park for a little while. Everyone was so pooped we all came home and took naps, a perfect Sunday. We can't wait to take him again!!
