Taking these photos is getting harder and harder now that Linc has figured out that he has a say in things. One more month to go, though.

giving thanks

For our families.

At Grandma Ewa and GrandPop's table.

Aunt Catherine helps host 17 this year!

One grandparent working hard while the other offers his opinions. Ahh, feast and family.

Back at his house Linc and Evie get ready for T2.

Just getting over major sick time here, the whole Z family pulls together to help John and I put on a lovely meal. Here Pete works on basting the turkey with advisors looking on.

At our table, where the gravy didn't last and the new stuffing recipe was a hit. We are so lucky, and so thankful, to be able to spend time like this.

Lincoln's tree

Turning red this month.

saying some things (moving image)

first fever

And first ear infection, and first Strep, and first sinusitis, plus molars moving up...

leads to sad sad boy and first antibiotics today.
And to his second haircut.

surprise!

Happy 60th Gramma.

This weekend all the grandkids got to hug their grandmother, and gobble all-you-can-eat fish, and sit around a bonfire, and eat Grampa's super dupers....and sing happy birthday. All up on Z farm.

walking (moving image)

And talking a bit.

falling into a leaf pile

wasn't exactly his favorite new experience this season.

He preferred playing with a pinwheel while his father raked instead. Someday though, buddy, you're going to love it!

eating

Lost in all the walking and jabbering that's been going on around here lately is the surprising quantity of food, real honest people food, that Lincoln has been consuming. Suddenly, he eats. Just like his father (but in smaller, mushier, more cubed quantities). For some reason this makes me very happy. My work here is done. ...well, nearly done. ...alright not even close.
