Fall fun and October updates!
The first weekend of the month we took our annual fall trip to Emma Krumbees for breakfast and autumnal activities. Zach was with me insitu last year, but I think he enjoyed himself more this time around.

Riding on the "Barrel Express" with Daddy.

Feeding the mini-horses at the petting zoo.

"Hey - Mom & Dad, I want thisssss one!"

"Shhh, don't wake Daddy - I'm 10 months old today!"

Zachary was 20 lbs and 28 1/2 inches long this time around. Still no crawling, but there are now 7 teeth chopping on everything in site with an 8th one on the way. He can also pull himself up on things and loves to stand at the ottoman and play.

10/14/08 - Our 2 yr anniversary! We had a great dinner with the fam at Red Lobster and then had some delicious alone time chatting and playing our favorite card game at Caribou.

Zach and Daddy hiking around at Taylors Falls.
We decided to take a "fall colors" drive and ended up at Taylors Falls. It was a beautiful autumn day and it was good to be outside enjoying nature and each other in such a gorgeous setting.

Squidoo

Shocking that I'm posting 2 times in one day I know! I was just going through my normal blog-hopping/reading for the day and found this and thought it was worthy to pass on!

Squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com/) is donating $80,000 to charity. There are several you chose from and when you vote, the charity you chose gets $2. You can only vote once but if you pass this on, then some great charities could potentially get some great money! You don't have to sign up for anything, just go to the page and pick your charity. If your favorite cause isn't listed, they have descriptions for the charities listed so that you can make an informed decision.

I went for Oxfam -don't know an incredible amount about it, but they are working for social justice and the ability of people to get educated to pull themselves out of poverty, both locally and globally.

Let me know if you went there and what you voted for!

Better late than never!

Silly me, I forgot to do a 9 month birthday post for Zachary! So here's the scoop:
20 lbs 3 oz, 28 1/2 inches long with a crazy head size in the 90% :) Also, in honor of the event Zach decided to debut a new tooth which is on the top - he's so excited to have an opposing muncher and is using his teeth to bite and chew. He is also now starting to show his other front top tooth and a few more on the bottom, he'll have a full set of chompers before we know it!
No official crawling yet, but he now thinks that his mom and dad are jungle gyms and he never sits still. I'm sure he'll be crawling around soon and the real fun will begin (read: mom will get a work out chasing Zach around every day)!
