4 McIntosh Apples

As far back as I can remember, Ean has always been fascinated with trains. Because of this fascination, we bought him a wooden train table quite a few months ago that he plays with often.

Also, when we go places like Barnes and Nobles or April’s ob doctor office that have play train tables, we have to drag him away from the table kicking and screaming.

So anyways, this past weekend we went to Aunt Mary’s house so she could hem up some of April’s new pants. Mary lives a couple hundred feet from a train track where trains come by often. Ean would want to rush over to the tracks and wave at the train as it goes speeding by.

I’ve included some pictures:

Ean had a big surprise on Saturday. Grandma Chris called and said ‘Let’s go to the Zoo!’ So, mommy, daddy, Ean, and Amanda got into the truck and Grandma, Grandpa, Tanner and Heather packed into their car.

The weather was great and not overly hot. Ean got to ride a pony, log ride as well as the African Safari sky lift.

I went to see Harry Potter with April this afternoon. It was a very good movie with a great magic battle towards the end. Unfortunately, I’ve read the all of the books and there was a lot of stuff not in the movie that could have been.

I feel like they touched a lot on the relationship of Sirius and Harry, they didn’t touch a lot on the Dumbalodre (spelling?) and Harry or about Harry’s dilemma about his dad being a bully much like Draco.

Anyways, if I hadn’t read the book, I would give it 4.5 out of 5. But I did so 4.25 out of 5 and definitely go see it at the theater.

Last night, Ean and I were out playing on his swing set. Ean was Captain Hook while I was his lackey, Smee. We had wood swords and we were driving the pirate ship away from Peter Pan (our puggle) and the lost boys (our beagle). Ean’s sand box was the crocodile that kept chasing after Ean with the faint sounds of a clock behind heard.

April pitched in and made Ean a hook for his hand. It was great fun and I loved watching Ean’s imagination flourish as we played. It makes me look forward for the years to come with him and his soon to be sibling.
