Zachary absolutely LOVES trains. He turns any activity into a train--from food to bathing. Daddy's been teaching him more about engines and cabooses. He loved the Train Depot in Council Bluffs because he actually got to sit in an engine and climb into a car!
Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins. Zachary loves pumpkins all year long, so he's extra excited this time of year. He's showing off the "Scary" pumpkin that he and daddy carved (you can't really see it in this photo because he put the eye and nose pieces back in; he thought it was like a puzzle).
Uncle Tim was having just as much fun carving the pumpkin as Zachary. Cousin Collin was excited to be using the knife on his own! How did he grow up so fast??!
Valla's pumpkin patch in Omaha was a blast. Here Zachary is doing an imitation of Collin.

We got to enjoy a little bit of hiking at the Ledges last month.....it was a fun time (until we got back to the car and found the car window busted out!!)
Isn't it fun to live in Iowa? We often take the change of seasons for granted. Our friend Denise is doing a 3 yr mission trip in Egypt; she reminds me how fortunate we are to have 4 seasons. In Egypt it looks and feels the same all year long. This time of year reminds me of how God is constantly at work in us and around us. Happy Fall!!!
