Zachary had a blast, and I’m so glad we got up early and took a few shots before it all melted. Beautiful.

But we couldn’t resist posting a few. We are parents after all (we gotta brag!) We’re all very excited to see the fam in Baton Rouge in a few weeks. Get ready y’all… this is what’s on the way!

Zach had just started mastering sitting up on his own in these shots

This was the biggest smile we could get out of him at the moment.

Lately Zach has really been enjoying eating "real" food. Last night we ordered a pizza and I didn't think he was going to ever stop eating.

Zach loves being naked (big surprise). When you go to put on his clothes he's all good until you get to the sleeves. Then the whining begins.

We've been taking him to Paradise (a little over an hour) to do some test runs for the Baton Rouge drive in December. So far, he's done great. We got him a larger baby seat Matt calls his "captain's chair" - and I'm sure he loves sitting in it.

I wished I was able to get these in time for Halloween... but our photographer was a little slower than normal. Still glad I got these though!!

I wish he could stay this age forever (ok maybe not FOREVER but you know what I mean). He's just at such a sweet age right now.

On the way back to Jim’s house, we stopped in Chatham, Virginia.  At Chatham Hall, an all-girls prepratory school, we visited with Jim’s friend (and former student) Blair.  We assumed that the three of us would grab a drink or a quick bite of dinner.  Little did we know that Blair would sweep us into a dinner party being thrown by the school’s rector.  A night of home-cooked vegetarian food, fudge-covered ice cream, handmade guacamole, and wonderful conversation would follow.
