Layes Landing: October Fun

We attended the St. Joseph's Orphanage Fall Festival and toured the Orphanage. It has a beautiful chapel with lots of stained glass featuring children with the saints and angels. Can just picture the children who lived there from 1908 through the 60's. They told us that some children lived there because their families could not afford to keep them. That's pretty desperate. My Grandmother said, "I'd go to stealing before I'd give up one of my kids". Makes me realize how fortunate we are.

Owen's favorite part was playing with the hay!

The Little Rock Zoo brought several animals for the kids to look at and even touch. The eagle was most impressive, HUGE!

Here is some History about St. Josephs

Dad and Owen enjoyed some warm weather and strolled the neighborhood.

I got to FaceTime from work. Owen was feeling playful and making funny faces.

We celebrated Baby E's First Birthday.This is the first family shot, where big brother was camera-shy and cousin had to be the "stand-in" brother.

Here's the family with the REAL big brother!

These two cousins just seem to abuse each other!

We attended Book Babies again and made some new friends while reading and singing songs

Went to a very swank First Birthday party where they had pony rides and a petting zoo

This is what I thought about kid's parties. But we did have fun!
And we tried on Owen's Halloween costume to attend Octoberfest at The Pantry. Homemade Brats and German Beers were pretty good and we had a good time.
