The Monhaut Family: Fall Happenings

October already. We have had a fun and busy fall so far and I feel like Christmas is going to be here before we know it. We have been keeping busy with trips to football games, the cider mills, Indiana, Ohio, weddings, The Zoo Boo, and just hanging out. Life has been good. I ran as part of a relay team in the Detroit Marathon today which was a very cool experience. There were over 20,000 runners today, and I got to run through the tunnel from Canada, so it was a lot of fun. I have been trying to get back into running and been training, so it is a good feeling that I did it :)

John is doing great. He is talking and communicating more and more each day. He absolutely loves day care and has so much fun there, which makes going back to work so much easier. I am really liking my new job. It definitely has its challenges, but I am overall very happy. Brad is doing well too. We are looking forward to his parents coming to visit soon and take them back to the Zoo Boo. I will try to narrate the pictures as they come. Sorry about the spacing...Enjoy!

John's favorite meal...not sure if he likes wearing it or eating it more. He thinks it is hilarious when he pulls out a noodle. Ah, the small things in life :)
Got one!
Great to visit with some high school friends at a wedding. Congrats Paul and Emily!
Wedding = Date night! :)
We went with our parents group to the cider mill. John loves hus buddies Luke and Brayden.
He also loved this tree/bear. It was just his size and I think he would have been happy sitting in here all night.

Perfect spokesman for the cider mill!
With his friend Gavin at the petting zoo...he wasn't too sure of the animals.
Zoo Boo! We started going to the Zoo for their annual trick or treating event last year. We went again this year with my parents, Jenny, Doug, Libby, and Doug's sister and her family.
Trying to get his shoes on, but I thought this was a cute picture :)

John finally got into it after half way through. I think he started realizing candy and chips were involved.

So happy to eat a doughnut at the end.
This was from today. After we got back from my race and took a nap, John and I played outside while Brad raked leaves. He really can't decide what he wants to play with.
My little cutie pie...he is getting so big!
