1st Halloween

Baby costumes are a bit silly, yeah, but what are we going to do - not dress him up for his very first Halloween party (thanks, Jace!)?

And, the napping cow:

Pumpkins

Took Zach and Ryan to Wilson Farms to pick out pumpkins for their parents. Pumpkin for Josh to carve, just squash (to eat) for me - I am not getting myself mixed up with knives and pumpkin gutting with a squirmy, crawling, puts-everything-in-his-mouth 8-month old to keep tabs on.

Exhibit A: Just Squash

Exhibit B: Oversize pumpkin with undersize people

(I think this one was place just for the photo-ops, judging from the line of babies. These 2 were so enthralled by the hay they were seated on that it was impossible to get both to look up. We left with some lovely grass-butt souvenirs. )

Exhibit C: Ryan with pumpkins

Watching soccer

The camera agrees with Sarah. And she's still little enough to not be self-conscious about it, allowing for some interesting close-ups.


This was on the sideline of Sydney's soccer game - Zach's first. His assessment: grass is yummy.

Grandmas are cool

Spent the elongated weekend/Yom Kippur visiting Josh's family in Annapolis with a side-trip to my mom in Virginia. So, Zach got to hang with both grandmas. And play with trees and bubbles.

Flowers

Sorry, it's chonic, as I think I warned in one of my first posts, back in '06.
