best video ever

I love having a husband who sends me videos when I’m out working late.

giro! giro! giro!

Labor Day weekend is a busy time in St. Louis. One of our favorite events to go to is the Gateway Cup. Lots of “Fast Bikes!” as Cam would say. Cam and I went to Tour de Francis after eating Greek food at St. Nicholas and surviving a micro burst storm (weird sitting under a tent during one of those). He got very excited each time they came around.

 The next day was Giro Della Montagna, where we visited with one of Cameron’s teachers. We also met up with my parents and brother’s family.

My mom was very happy to share her love of bikes with her grandsons.

 And that let me take some fun photos of the cyclists.

There, it’s only mid-September and I finally posted Labor Day. Woohoo!

We tried finger painting, once again.

Still not sure about it though.

But at least we ended on a smile.

night of music

This time of year is my favorite in St. Louis, with something going on every single weekend. Last night we had a wonderful time on Art Hill last night listening to the symphony. 

We pretended to go night-night at one point. 

While listening to the music, we were treated to a beautiful sunset.

 

Unfortunately we left before the end to get a little boy to bed, and we missed the firework finale. I’m sure our neighbors probably enjoyed listening to the music without the running commentary from my toddler.

this is what

working from home looks like with a toddler

happy labor day weekend!

we’re going to the zoo…zoo…zoo

We had beautiful weather over the weekend so we took advantage of it and headed to the zoo. I was pretty awesome and brought my camera along to take great shots, only to realize that the battery was still in the charger at home. Another reason I’m thankful for iPhones.

First train ride!

Cam discovered if you brush near the goat’s tail, it would wag. We spent the rest of our time in the goat pen helping the goats have happy tails.

He loved the carousel ride, narrating the entire time, “Up. Down. Up. Down.”

 Cam always enjoys visiting the monkeys. In one pen there was a sick monkey under veterinary care, snuggled up under a blanket. Cam sweetly patted the window and told the monkey it’s okay.
