It's been a while.....





























There has been so much going on with us over the last few months. Things are good. We are staying very busy but managing to have some fun too! Work is good. It has picked up some over the last few months. I've been volunteering for a lot of projects. I'll do anything to keep those billable hours up while the economy is down. Some of the projects have been really interesting. ;-) Zachary is doing great in school. He got a progress report last week and they commented about how smart he is and advanced for his age. He is speaking very well now. We're working on counting in Spanish and German. He can count in English and Spanish in to the twentys. He also loves singing his ABCs among other songs. ;-))

I had surgery about 2 months ago so we didn't do much for about a month. Feeling great now and almost back to myself. We had fun at Halloween. Zachary really enjoyed trick or treating and also liked handing out the candy to the other kids. We're gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas now. It's hard to believe that it's November already. It's even harder to believe that Zachary is 3 1/2. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So last weekend we went camping in the mountains. When I say camping, I mean real camping....with a tent, sleeping bags and the works. We had so much fun!!! It was nice to live the simple life for a couple of days and escape reality. Zachary had a great time and managed to entertain himself. We stayed right on the French Broad River. The weather was beautiful!!! It did get cold around midnight. I was really glad that we had warm sleeping bags (footed pjs for Zachary) and LOTS of blankets. We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows. Zachary loved helping with the campfire..as you can imagine. We will definitely be going back to that camp area...but next time we'll take a kayak and our bikes.

I've attached some pictures from our weekend!!! Enjoy!

The pictures are great. It looks like you had a wonderful time. Our babies aren't babies any more. Nora has been talking about hot dogs and marshmallows and camping. She saw it on TV and wants to go camping. Del has been looking at tents but he really doesn't like camping that much. He had rather rent a cabin and sleep in a bed. We have to plan a trip together. It's been too long since we've seen you two.

Love,
Pam

We had a great time Pam. It's too bad you guys are closer to here. We could go camping together. I would love to see Zachary and Nora camping. ;-)) It has been a while. You haven't seen Zachary in a year and I haven't see you guys in 6 months. We'll have to do something about that. I'll call you soon so we can catch up.

Love, Rebecca and Zachary
