Sunday walks and new snow boots

On Sunday, Brad was watching a football game and Donovan and I were bored, so we went for a long walk around campus. I was a little sad that all of the trees haven't changed color yet. Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons, especially out here, but the trees aren't cooperating. Some of the trees have already lost their leaves while others haven't even changed color yet.Donovan didn't mind though, he still likes to play with the dirt around the trees.We went up to the school and he was pushing the button to open the door, but everything is closed on Sunday so the door was locked. It still made a noise though, so he was happy.He loves to stomp on the storm drain whenever we pass it. He loves the noise it makes.


We had to stop to play in the dirt and find a stick.It was a nice walk, the weather was pretty perfect.

The other night, we were all watching Baby Einstein before bedtime. Donovan was enjoying the music and starting spinning. He is so cute.


Yesterday, Donovan and I went to Target and I decided to look at snow boots for him. I have the feeling he is going to enjoy the snow so we will spend plenty of time in it to make new boots worth the $18 (they were on sale). When we got home, I cut of the tags that were connecting them to make sure he could actually walk in them. He can definitely walk in them, and he wanted to wear them most of the day. When I would tell him to get his shoes so we could go for a walk, he brought me his boots. When I tried to take them off when we got home, he got a little upset with me. He cried until I put them back on. When we got home from mutual, he wanted to show his daddy his boots and grabbed them and sat on my lap so I would put them on. He loves his boots, and they look pretty good on him.One last video, I got an okay shot of Donovan running.

It looks like he runs a little like Kaylee used to—with her arms behind her for better aerodynamics.

Its always nice to get out and go for a nice walk. Donavon seems to really enjoy the outdoors.

That's what the arms reminded me of too! Glad he likes the boots. That should be fun!

Hope you got the boots a size too big. If not, at the rate he's growing, he'll be out of them by the time snow flies...

I am looking forward to seeing you at Christmas! We will be here, unless by some huge miracle we come across some hidden funds, then we'll be going to Arizona. That is very unlikely, though! By the way, I think you are such a good mother!

I think Donovan runs like Tommy off of that old nick show "Rugrats" haha. He's so stinkin' cute! I get to see the booger in exactly 4 weeks. I'm not counting down or anything...28 days to be exact!!! Super stoked woot!

Fun to watch him run! He does have some cute boots. It's great that he has favorite thing to wear, isn't it? I hope the snow stays away until after Thanksgiving though.
