I went to Florida for the funeral of my uncle. While there, my other uncle, my dad and I stopped at a restaurant to have lunch that was across from the beach. So we stopped to take a look and saw a man using a metal detector. Every now and then he'd stop and wait for the waves to retreat and dig something up. Nothing big enough for us to see.
After E's late September cardiology appointment, T and I took her to the zoo. There are a few photos of her that I think are "super model" worthy. Of course, I feel this way, I am her mother.
This is one of the photos.
Here is a cute one of the two of them on the merri-go-round. Notice she still has her hospital band still on.
After the hurricane, we piled our debris at the foot of our driveway, just like all the other neighbors. We were told that it could be up to six months until FEMA came to take it away. Our regular recycling folks weren't able to pick it up. Luckily it was just a few weeks until this huge crane came by one day with a huge truck to haul it away. Of course we took pictures. Unfortunately, the one person who is absolutely crazy about trucks in our family was taking a nap, Mr. Z.
We also took time out of our October to celebrate J's first birthday!
He had wonderful weather for his birthday. The kids took turns beating a pinata in the back yard. Notice, E's hair a-flying.
Once it broke, all the kids scattered to grab the candy.
Z grabbed some too.
E also performed with the children's choir at church.
Later that month we found a small lizard in our front hall. Miss adventurous grabbed it by the tail and took it outside. Note the devilish grin.
She giggled heaps when the tail broke off and still flipped around on the floor of our hall.
Back to the zoo we went in October with both kids and my mom. We love the meercats. Or "meerchats" as Z calls them. I love the pose this one is striking.
Another supermodel pose.
Z and E were enthralled with the zoo keeper who was giving a demonstration on a particular bird.
The nest sitters had lots of fun that day, but sure were pooped by the end of the day.
Towards the end of the month we went to our congenital heart defects support group's fund raiser carnival. The kids had a great time!
T entered a pie eating contest. He didn't win, but had a great time!
E got her face painted and hair sprayed.
Later that day we made a skeleton out of old milk jugs as Halloween was rapidly approaching.
This is another one of them.
