Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

We had a nice visit with my parents this past weekend. They arrived on Thursday night before Zach went to bed, and left on Sunday around noon. Zach had so much fun with them that he decided he would rather be with grandpa than with his own parents! Now that they’re gone, he’s cuddling up to us again. Mike says we should call him ‘Fickle Frank’ ;)

We did some more apple picking on Saturday, so I’ll probably make some more apple sauce for Zach and I. We also took some photos besides some pumpkins which Zach really liked – although it may be hard to tell from his expression! On the way past the pumpkin display the second time, he pointed to go in again!

A Big Brother!

I couldn’t post Zach’s family birthday party photos, because he was wearing this shirt announcing our good news:

It’s true- Lord willing, Zach will be a big brother at the end of January! I’m 9 weeks along now, so it’s early to be mentioning it, but my belly isn’t being quite as ‘secretive’ as last time, so I thought I’d tell before my body did- haha!

Zach won’t quite be two years old, so he will be close in age to his sibling.

We’ve had some scary times with this pregnancy, and thought we’d lost the baby about a month ago, and the doctor thought so too, but after an ultrasound (with a heartbeat!!!!) we were feeling very relieved:) I feel more apprehensive this time around about baby’s health, and would value your prayers for a healthy boy or girl.

We’re pleased about this new addition:) God’s been good to us.
