What have we been up to...

We are still here and HAPPY....we have just been busy...so here is what we have been up to...

Last weekend we headed to St. Louis for a wedding and while we were there we had a wonderful time. We got to spend a lot of time with the family and stayed busy. We went to Grant's Farm on Friday afternoon....I forgot how HOT and HUMID it is in St Louis...and as you will see in later photos, Brayden had not ever experienced this kind of heat, but it was still fun

On the train on the way in

His first goat feeding experience...

He was not quite sure about the goats...but either was I....they all attack at once!

This shows how HOT is was....sweaty and red-faced

Colleen and Aaron fed the camels

Brayden went on his first carousel ride...at first he was not sure, but as the ride continued going he loved it and got the hang of it...

Aaron and I had a night out at the Cardinals game...

Here is the happy couple, Elliot and Kerry....it was a beautiful wedding

Brayden is ready to pack it up...

We had brunch with Angie and Addison at Eckert's...its always so nice to see friends

Then it was back to work for us. The first week of school went well...and we could not have asked for a better sitter to watch Brayden...she is wonderful and he is so happy there. On Friday night, we decided to BBQ--and he needed to relax and have a drink

Love to Bruiser

On Saturday, we headed to the Brookfield Zoo. Brayden was our tour guide...we had never been to this zoo before and it was fun and HUGE. We meet up with our friends the Russells
