New Friends and the zoo

Man, I've been horrible this summer about taking pictures. I think I've just come to a point where I don't like carting around the DSLR anymore. Love it still, but it's been beaten up more than I'd like. So, I want a point and shoot camera for Christmas. One that doesn't take forever to take a picture. (In case someone was trying to think of Christmas gifts)

I happened to have my ipod with me at the zoo last week. We went with our friends Amy, Abby, Sammy, baby Henry, as well as Amy's friend Michelle and her two kids.

This might be Amy's kids first appearance on the blog. We are thankful for meeting up with them again. It's so nice to have a homeschooling buddy who has kids pretty much the same age. Belle and Abby were familiar with each other since they were both in the same ballet class (remember this post. That girl was Abby). They will also be in the same co-op class this fall.

We had a great time at the zoo. I thought for sure Ethan would fall asleep on the way home, but he didn't. We got home, I put Ethan in bed, set Belle up on the computer playing games and then went and laid down myself. An hour and a half later I woke up and couldn't find Belle ANYWHERE. I was realy starting to freak out until something made the computer wake up and I heard the game come on. I went upstairs to find her asleep behind the computer chair. This girl never naps!
