A day at the farm - Dewberry Farm!

Hi Folks -

Be prepared...this post is FULL of pictures of our trip to Dewberry Farm last weekend. We met up with Brinson and her family and Noah and his family and a couple of friends from Mommy's work. It was really crowded because it was a beautiful fall day in Texas (and we don't have a lot of those) and because Good Morning America had just done a feature on the Farm, the day before. Although there were lots of people, we still managed to have lots and lots of fun!

Pumpkins are so fun to play with!

The newest sport...pumpkin climbing!

"B" says- "What's with him?"

Zachary really wasn't about the sitting still...

We had a great time! Love to all!

Zachary in the Big Easy

A couple of weekend ago we went to go visit some of Mommy's family in New Orleans, Louisiana. We stayed with Cousins Susan and Henry and visited with Cousin Robert and some friends of Susan and Henry. We had a great time. We took Zachary to the New Orleans Zoo which is awesome!! Henry had a great time...Zachary did too!

Family portrait time - Audubon Zoo.

Mommy pointing out the elephants...

...like Zachary could miss them!

Zachary was really tired from running around
so he didn't enjoy the carousel as much as usual.

But he enjoyed his nap more than usual!

All refreshed - we went to the hands-on
part of the zoo. Here's Zachary petting a guinea pig.

He LOVED the goats!

The animals were just his size!

He helped out around the zoo...

The next day is when we had awesome po'boys with the cousins and their friends.

Zachary suggled right up to
Robert and went to sleep.

It really looks like Zachary slept through the trip but he did not.
We just never get to see him still so we took lots of pictures of it!

Loving lunch time with Susan and Henry.

Thanks to Susan and Henry for letting us stay with you and for the night of babysitting! We love you and love to all!

Zachary loves the view!

Hi folks!

As all of you know, Mommy is a working mom. She's a paralegal for a lawfirm in downtown Houston - her office is on the 37th floor of one of the skyscrapers. Every once in awhile Daddy brings Zachary up so Mommy can show him off to her friends and co-workers. A couple of weeks ago Zachary came up for a visit and one of our friends, Seema, was sweet enough to take some pictures of him enjoying the sights.

Zachary is impressed by the view!

Zachary is a big fan of Seema's office.

And he's off!!

Everyone just loves when he comes to visit - especially Mommy!

Love to all!

Catching up!

Hi Folks!

Sorry for the delay in posting, things have been busy 'round here. Zachary is doing well and here are some pictures of some fun events over the past couple of weeks...

Today we went to Kayla and Connor's 3rd birthday party
We met them at the NICU reunion and the mommies became friends.
The birthday party was at a fun park in Webster.

Zachary loved playing with the balloons!
(Unfortunately Mommy was not able
to get a picture of the birthday kiddos!)

At home - modeling his Converse (thanks Rose!)

Last weekend Gamma was in town,
so we went to the beach (Galveston, Tx).

We had a blast!

The Gulf of Mexico in Galveston is perfect
warm water and pretty flat
(this is literally one of the biggest waves we had)

Now that the weather is cooling down,
Zachary enjoys being outside.

Here he is coloring with chalk in our backyard.

He's such a silly boy!
(Note all the blue chalk all over him!)

His first ice cream cone!
(Note his "chillin-out" position in his carseat!)

Zachary also got his first haircut!
Here is his before picture...

He was not impressed with the idea of getting his hair cut!

He looks so much older now (less baby-ish, more toddler-ish!)

Our little man!

Love to all!

Prayers for The Sullivans

This blog is about Zachary, but it is also about the power of prayer.

Today numerous friends have pointed us to the struggles the Sullivans are having. This family has had the ultimates in highs and lows. Right now prayers are in urgent need for Sara Sullivan, a mom who, within the past year, was diagnosed with breast cancer, found out she was pregnant, had a sweet baby girl Chloe (a little early), brought Chloe home from the NICU and within a week from bringing her home, is now fighting for her life against seizures and a possible stroke. We are praying for God's will to be done and for peace and strength for her family.

We never stop being grateful for God blessing our lives, for Zachary and for each other. Thanks for reading this, we just needed to share and take a moment to pray.

Love to all.
