Garrett's hero...Curious George

My smiley boy at lunch.

The pumpkin a local artist carved for each of the kids.

Water boy

"Mamaa" - his favorite word

George's rocket!

My camera was too slow, so you can't see Garrett's true reaction.

This was one excited little boy...Garrett that is, not Erik. Although Erik was pretty excited too. :)

It's George, or "Gege" as Garrett says

Curious George and Curious Garrett

Dad, let me down so I can go play...

Garrett was obsessed with this elevator. He was throwing elbows (I hate to say) when other kids tired to play with it. Needless to say he loves elevators.

Visiting CGs apartment building

The monkey of the moment.

Disclaimer: You must know first: Garrett l-o-v-e-s Curious George. Here are the pictures from the Curious George Exhibit at the Magic House (St. Louis Children's Museum).

We've known about this exhibit since about March and it just opened this past weekend. Garrett had a great time. And as parents, it was fun to see him enjoy something so much.

Garrett's second reaction to CG.

His first reaction...sorry they loaded backwards...

Home Sweet Texas Home

Erik got his newest assignment and we're headed back to Texas. We don't have all the details yet but know we should be back in this beautiful State by the end of the year! We can't wait!!

Tan-Tar-A weekend

Our family on the pontoon boat we rented with two other families.

Garrett fell asleep on me during the boat ride. Protecting my baby from the cold.

You'll notice the grip he has on that Froot Loops box, even while sleeping.

Captain Erik skippering the boat.

Erik, Garrett and our friends son, Joseph (he was quite taken with Erik)

This past weekend, as a family, we went to Tan Tar A Resort for a marriage retreat in Osage Beach, MO. It was a free weekend (food, lodging, CHILDCARE!!!!!) We had a wonderful time.

Four Score and Four Years Ago...

...Erik and I were married. Happy Anniversary to us!

Our handyman!

My mother (Nana Sue) bought Garrett a tool set recently complete with tool belt, hard hat, etc. It's become one of his recent favorites! Hopefully one day he will be good at making something other than messes!! :)

Take me out to the ballgame...

Me and a player I don't remember.

The All-Stars game was played in STL this year and Erik really wanted a picture in front of the sign.

I'm not sure how this one ended up in b&w. Sometimes Garrett plays with the camera and we never know what he actually does to it.

Oddly enough, there was just enough space between the wall and my seat for Garrett's stroller, so little man had his own (reclining) seat!

Our view.

Score board at Busch Stadium

Not a huge fan of the peanuts.

Family photo op!

CPT Smith, Arvidas (our friend and foreign officer from Lithuania) and Erik. Arvidas brought the scarf he wears to sports games in his country. This was his first baseball game, he had a blast!

The Seholms at the Cardinals vs. Padres game!

Saturday was military/Fort Leonard Wood Appreciation Day at Busch Stadium. We had a wonderful day and Garrett did suprisingly well considering he didn't take any naps. We hope to make it to one more game before our time in Missouri comes to a close (hopefully!!!) I think the Seholms love baseball!!
