Pumpkin Patch & Halloween

We went to Bellewood Acres a couple weekends ago to pick out pumpkins. I promise Zak and I are are a part of this family but I usually have the camera and didn't want my picture taken while pregnant now I just don't have an excuse.

Kendall was a Bee for Halloween and her trick or treating consisted of getting candy from Shane's PE class and a couple teachers when we walked down the hall at the high school. Next year maybe we will try to the door to door. Luckily for us with the rainstorm she didn't know the difference. We could say Zak was a soccer player since he had on his Puma outfit that day.

Happy Halloween!

Shane helped Kendall carve her 1st pumpkin...or Shane carved the pumpkin.

A BOY cousin!

We headed down to my parents last Tuesday night for Kyle and Michelle's cake revealing of the sex of their baby due in March. They had their ultra sound done on Monday then Michelle's family and our family met for dinner. Michelle cut into the cake and it was BLUE frosting in the middle which obviously meant a BOY! It will be fun for Zak to have a cousin so close in age and be the same gender. I am pretty sure Kendall will enjoy bossing them around.

This is Michelle's cousin Emily who Kendall likes to hang out with.

1 month old!

Here is a picture of Zak from Monday when he was exactly a month old! Wide awake checking out the ceiling fan...if he can see that far.

More pictures of this week, story time at Lynden library we brought Kyler this week and a Homestead swim. I love the picture of Kyler and Kendall, I made them hold hands on the way out to the car so they would stay close, they didn't mind.

Picture update

It is hard to believe that Zak is already 3.5 weeks old! We are all settled in and finding things to do each day while I am off of work. I will go back part time after Thanksgiving for 3 weeks then have Christmas break off then full time after Christmas break. It is actually more time that I had off with Kendall and I can actually enjoy my time off with an infant this time instead of all the things that came along with building a house when Kendall was born. Kendall still goes to daycare on Mondays and Gymstars on Friday mornings, other than that we find plenty to do. She still loves to hold Zak and talk to him.

Julie and Kyler came to visit one morning. Hopefully we will see more of them with Julie and I both not working you would think we would have lots of time to see each other.

Shane got to go to Gymstars the week he had off when Zak was born.

Notice she has her flamingo (named dodo) tucked in with Zak.

Her halloween costume from last year that she wouldn't put on. She likes to dress up in it now and it still fits so I think we will use it this year if we do anything for halloween.

Watching the full moon rise on our back porch with popcorn.

Home!

We got home Monday evening the 24th. My Mom met us at our house with Kendall and she was so excited to hold him and see him again. It has been a pretty easy adjustment for the most part and so far it has been good the past 2 days with Shane back to work. Though I have had it easy, she is still going to go to daycare every Monday then Tuesday she went to Grammy and Papa's for the morning to play. I love these first few pictures of Kendall holding Zak for the 1st time. She thought he was really funny !

Hospital stay

More pictures of our hospital stay. Zak meeting Kendall for the 1st time. We did a really bad job of getting pictures of everyone that came to visit. Zak's visitors were; Kendall, Grammy, Grandpa & Grandma, Kyle & Michelle, Tia Erin & Jonathon, Julie, Kassi and The Chambers family.
