Here is a link to the remaining pics from San Diego & our trip to NYC. Also, are a few of Savannah & her hunky football player from Halloween:-). We have busy travelers over the past 2 1/2 weeks, but we have had a lot of fun. Thankfully, Savannah is an excellent traveler on the plane. She either sleeps or entertains the other people on the plane:-). Which makes Mommy & Daddy very happy.
Thankfully, we are all home for the next three weeks. Then we are coming to IN for the week of Thanksgiving. Can you believe that it is almost Nov?!! This year has just gone so fast. So we will see many of you in a few weeks.
Enjoy the new pictures!
Matt, Jeri, & Savannah

San Diego Fun
We have been in warm, sunny San Diego since Saturday & we are loving it. Savannah did great on the plane. She slept 2.5 hours and made friends with everyone around us. We landed early in the afternoon so we just got settled in to our hotel, got groceries, & started relaxing. Sunday we went downtown San Diego to the Gaslamp district. There was a car show so it was fun to walk around & look at old and new high end cars.
Monday started our theme park adventures at the San Diego Zoo. We spent the first half of the day at the zoo & then came back to the hotel for a nap. Yep we all needed one. Then we went to Matt's favorite Mexican restaurant. It was great after not having any Mexican food for almost a year. Tuesday we went to the Wild Animal Park for the first part of the day. This was so much fun. We took a Safari ride to see the animals. That night we went to La Jolla to take a stroll on the beach & then went to the best little pizza place. Wednesday was all about Sea World. We spent the entire day there & it was my favorite:-). I feed the seals--they were hungry pups. We watched a show called Pets Rule which made our dog look like a wild animal--sorry Izzy but true. Savannah loved this. She kept pointing & squealing. I think her mouth was open the entire time. We also watched the seal show--we gave it a C. Not enough action for our little one. We also went to a special 4-D Elmo movie. Savannah loved it until they sprayed water right in her face then the fun was over & it looked like Daddy wet his pants. The last thing we did at Sea World was watch the Shamu show. Again Savannah LOVED it. We think that she was channeling her Aunt Sarah:-) After that long day we ate a quick bite, took a dip in the hot tub because the pools were freezing & then lights out.
The rest of the week is suppose to be very warm so we are spending it at the beach. Below is the link to our pictures so far. We hope you enjoy Savannah discover & learn as much as we did...
Enjoy!

Our little pumpkin is 1!!
It's hard to believe but Savannah is 1! This year has gone by so quick & we have loved every minute of seeing Savannah grow into a toddler. Ahh that's a little scary to say:-).
Savannah woke up all smiles on her birthday & so did I because I was not in a hospital bed in pain. But all the pain & discomfort was sure worth our little girl. Savannah had a fun day "playing" while mommy & daddy worked to get the food, house, & cake ready for her big celebration. We had everything set up outside but the weather decided that it had other plans for our party. At 3:30 the Kansas wind as I like to call it started & 40 mile an hour winds & rain changed the party from outside to inside. We had our neighbors, friends, & cousins here to help Savannah celebrate turning 1! Everyone was anxious to see her dig into her cake except daddy:-). Matt kept saying lets cut it in little pieces but he was out voted by the crowd. Savannah wasn't to sure about cake--pretty much she smashed it. She didn't even take a bite but I say prolong the sugar intake for as long as possible:-). Savannah also was able to meet her cousin Hayley & loved Hayley. She just wanted to keep giving her hugs & kisses it was soooo cute. It was great that Nate, Kristi, Kim, & Hayley were able to join us.
The past month has been pretty busy for us. We went to the State Fair with our friends so that was a day full of eating & walking. Then both Savannah & I were sick with a cold--not fun. Matt has been to Chicago twice & then a very, very short (40hrs) trip to Europe when he was really sick with the flu. Which I got the day he left--we are hoping we got it all out of the way before flu season. Savannah & I started our ECFE class & MOPS. We are really excited to meet some new people & have some playtime with other kids.
The weather has made the switch & I don't know if it is the start of winter or fall. We are suppose to get our first frost this week--boo! I know that the white stuff will be flying soon but I was hoping by some miracle summer would stay just a little longer. Oh well, we are excited to see Savannah play in the snow & waddle around in her snowsuit:-)
The next two weeks we are getting ready for VACATION!! We are going to San Diego, CA & are very excited to have some downtime. I know we will have lots of pictures when we get back:-)
We hope all is well with everyone & we will see some of you in Nov. Have a great week & stay warm!
Attached are pictures of her birthday party & our trip to the state fair earlier this month. Enjoy!

Savannah's first baseball game
We went to the Twins vs Cleveland Indians game on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Twins did not win, but Savannah had a good time. She was pretty mesmerised by everything that was going on in the stadium. Sunday is always kid's day at the stadium so she had a lot of toddlers to keep her entertained. She also loved clapping & dancing to the music:-). It was a fun afternoon for everyone!
Here is a link for the pictures from the game...

New Videos
Savannah is walking! This week she has been a mover. She has figured out that she can get to places & hold a toy in her hands so crawling is no longer as fun. She started taking some steps about 2 weeks ago and now she is officially walking. We know it is a whole new game but we are so excited to see her grow, learn, & very thankful that she is healthy & curious. Izzy, however, is not liking Savannnah's new found freedom. Izzy gets extremely nervous--paces & howls. Which makes Savannah excited and then she "runs" at Izzy--an endless cycle:-) We shot some short videos last night to let everyone see how our little pumpkin is growing. The link below is 2 videos from last night. Enjoy!!

Beach Baby
Savannah had her first experience with sand & she loved it. So much that she tried to eat it many, many times. We had a great afternoon swimming & playing in the sand:-). We are looking forward to vacation in Oct. when we can play in the sand for days and days:-). I forgot to mention in our last email that Savannah is starting to walk. She will take 4 or 5 steps and then realize what she is doing and plop down. Very cute but ahhh she is growing too fast!! Have a great we!!
