The weekends fly by!

It is just crazy how time flies anymore! This weekend seemed like it was gone in an instant. We spent Friday night with Grandma & Papa eating pizza and playing. Saturday was a gorgeous day--but Jude & I spent some time in the kitchen together making bran muffins...He's taken after his friend Ben; at becoming somewhat domestic. (Don't worry Ben, he has no interest in Tide..yet ) Sunday brought another gorgeous day--church and dinner with friends. Jude had a date with his little friend Kate! (Can't believe I didn't take any pics)

We got out the jump-a-roo that was Jude's for Livey to try out this weekend. And, surprise! She love it just as much as her brother did! Not sure if this will work or not but here's a link to Jude when he first tried the jump-a-roo...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG--io8kDvc Cracks me up to look back at Jude...what a difference between then and now..
I feel so blessed that the Lord has provided a way for me to be home one day a week. What a blessing it has been to have that one extra day with these two little munchkins!

Pumpkin Fest

Our Friday night consisted of attending the Pumpkin Festival in Morton..Eating lots of good food (including pumpkin ice cream; of course!), Seeing lots of people, Riding rides, and thanks to Nate--attempting for a goldfish!
"Who is this girl in the picture", you ask...well, we don't know for sure, but she told Abe she would hold onto Jude and keep him safe during this fast and furious ride. And that she did! Mid-way through the ride, Jude's face was buried in her chest. It was so darn cute!
And above here you see Jude attempting to win a goldfish; that he did NOT, but thanks for suggesting it Nate :) He was a mess after this...Really wanted that goldfish and really really tired!
Saturday we ventured back to Morton for the famous parade. I tried it solo--just the kids and me! Luckily we had a nice spot w/ Joy and their family on Jefferson! Jude was hilarious going after the candy.. He was kind of timid, surprisingly! But, thanks to Mom's help..he came home w/ a bag-full-of candy!

Livey 4Months!

We made our trip to the Dr. today for Liv's 4-month check up. Jude traveled along with us and surprise, he got a shot too! He did so well though; didn't shed one tear. Livey weighed in at 15lb 10oz (75%). She was also 75% for height but her poor little head only rang in at 25%. She is still not sleeping through the night, but according to the Dr., that is completely normal. Ugghh! Anyway, she has started eating a tad bit of rice cereal here and there. She can roll front to back and vice versa.
She is just loving Jude! She could watch/listen to him for hours and she is just in awe! It's quite cute! Jude is becoming a great big brother. Still a little rough now and then, but for the most part he's gentle and loving.
Life at the Zeller house has returned to normal chaos. As most of you know, I developed shingles about two weeks ago... That had me down for about a week but I seem to be back to normal...just a little itchy at times. What caused it....stress, lack of sleep, nursing, not eating well, you name it! Not fun! Hopefully we will have some normality for a month when golf is finished, before basketball starts!
