Trick or Treat!!!

We enjoyed having a family day and getting ready for a busy night of candy collecting.

Landon got an official haircut, not a quick trim by Mom. He was calm, cool, and collected during his trim and looked very debonair with his sleek style!

After a quick stop for gelato, his treat for being so brave during his haircut, we headed home to get costume ready! Landon dressed as a doctor, which was a great opposite to Scot being the patient on crutches.

He was a hit in the neighborhood, getting lots of attention and candy for Mom and Dad to snack on. Scot was quite the dedicated Dad, crutching along for our son's 1st trick or treating.

Once we exhausted our neighbor's candy bowls we headed home. Landon discovered the wonderful smelling bowl of candy near the front door for trick or treaters. He took it upon himself to take every piece out and survey it...smelling, licking, swishing it between his fingers. Hope the kids in neighborhood don't mind gently used candy!

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Taking care of Dad!

Scot's home and healing!!! His surgery went well and we were relieved to see some familiar faces in the Surgicenter and they took excellent care of him!

Once home, Scot battled with pain and a fever. Today is the 1st day he feels better and can move around independently. Landon was surprised to see his big, strong Dad moving slow on his crutches, but loves to try and play with his CPM machine. It's a slow recovery but Scot is braving through it and keeping his spirits up!

Providing range of motion exercises to his Dad's toes....such a helper!!

Life in the Z house

Scot's having his knee surgery tomorrow morning, so Landon and I took the day to getting ready to take care of our patient. We spent the morning shopping and stocking up on all of Scot's favorite treats and snacks. Landon dove into an art project and made a "Get Well Soon" picture, that is now hanging on the refrigerator. Landon and his Dad are inseparable when they are together, it will be an adjustment for Landon not to have his Daddy playing chase and running around after him....the crutches will definitely be slowing Scot down.

After our busy morning, we headed off to the park for swinging, sliding, and sand playing.

Boys will be boys!!

Landon had a play date at the Railroad Park this afternoon with his new friend Michael. Whew....I don't know who got more tired, the Moms or the boys. Landon and Michael got to know one another by going through the other's diaper bag.

Once it was settled that each bag carried similar items (Cheerios, bottles, diapers, etc.) it was on to eating grass and dirt, and of course Landon looking for all the muddy areas to crawl through. The boys became completely mesmerized by the train whistle....an attention grabber I need to buy for home! We took the boys on the train, carousel, and played on the playground. Forget about eating lunch, they were too interested in their surroundings.

"Don't look at the camera, my mom is taking ANOTHER picture."

"I'll crawl over the bridge, if you do."

"Weeeeeee!"

Family Photos!

I'm not going to lie to you.....this family loves the camera!! We had a photography session at Schnepf Farms on Saturday. We enjoyed picking out pumpkins in the pumpkin patch, walking through the corn field, and enjoying the foods. Here's a sneak peak of our photos!!

Jimmy, thank you for the beautiful photography!! You always have a magnificent way of capturing us enjoying life!! We love you!
