Pumpkins & Snow!

Carving Zach's first pumpkin with Uncle Tim and Aunt Jodi's help.

Wow! Is this supposed to come off?

Snuggling up with Grandma Karen and cousins Rebecca & Collin at the pumpkin patch after snow last weekend!

Helpin' mom & dad pick out the pumpkin to carve.

Zach's first time sledding with cousin Collin. He wanted "more" of that!

Building a snowman. But why does he have a pumpkin head???

Zach's first time touching snow. Brrr!

Feeding the horses at Mahoney State Park (the day before the snow). The horse nibbled Zach's finger--he's got an owie to prove it!

Climbing up the stairs at the look out tower at Mahoney State Park. He climbed up and down all 107 stairs, just holding momma's hand!

What's new with Zachary lately? He's big into pointing out every single pumpkin he sees. He has also discovered Elmo, which really helps keep him occupied when Momma is making supper! He continues to say/sign "help", however has switched from always asking for help to now offering to help with a lot of things mom or dad is doing. His speech is becoming a bit easier to understand. Mom is working on getting him to say his "m" sounds at the beginning of words. That speech pathologist in her never quits! Another cute thing he does lately: he stops whatever he happens to be doing, folds his hands, and requests that we pray. So precious! Speaking of praying, his surgery is set for November 3rd. You can keep him in your prayers as we move forward with that.
