our little pun'kin

Yay, so glad fall is in full swing! We've stayed so busy lately - too busy to blog it seems, I apologize. I made some pumpkin bread to commemorate the season and Miles has really enjoyed it. Every meal it's crumbled all over the tray and his shirt and in his hair. Another sign of the season is the footie pajamas!! Miles takes off his socks during the night, and doesn't really stay under the blanket, so we've made the switch to the fleece footies. The first night we put them on he tugged on the toes and looked at us with a "what-are-you-doing-to-me?" look. But he's figured them out now.

Our weekly playgroup ventured out to the zoo this Wednesday. We'd forgotten that the schools were on break this week, so the kids area was too rambunctious for the little ones. But a lot more animals were out - lions, snow leopards, white tigers - and they even had a close encounter with a hungry camel. I think he smelled the Cheerios in the diaper bag.

Just 3 of the 5 in our group made it, one was out of town and Lindsey is having chemo. Some of you may know this already but one of the little girls in our group was diagnosed with a hepatoblastoma - a tumor in her liver. They hope that with a few sessions of chemo it will shrink and they can remove it. But while she's in treatment she can't risk being around germy kids. Please keep her in your prayers!
