David caught the flu the night before Halloween Trick-or-Treat night this year, so we saved dress-up for neighbor Karen’s annual Halloween party.We went as the Zombie Family a.k.a. the Unregistered Voter Family. Scary, huh?

Last Sunday, David surprised us with his basic accounting skills, demonstrating he may already be helping Momma and Dada with taxes this year! Sure, he needed a little prompting, but it doesn’t take much for him to impress us. Select the image below to watch the video.

That day, we also visited Lake Metroparks Farmpark, so David could be introduced, now that he’s a little older, to all the wonders of living on a farm. We saw a piglet that had been the only one in a litter (the mother on her last litter, it seems, according to her caretaker), and David was visibly excited. “Bebbeh Peeg!”

Next visit, we’re hoping he’ll want take a pony ride next time! This time, however, a volunteer let him get behind the wheel of a John Deere tractor. If he’d been handed the keys, David probably would have driven home!

We hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! The weekend after, while Mommy went to visit another family and their new baby (Congrats to Jim, Jen and Kira on the arrival of Devin!), David and Daddy went out to enjoy the nice weather in the backyard and take a few photos.

As you can see here, David attempted to inspect as many leaves as possible, enjoying the crinkling sounds and the textures. Observing his observations is always a revelation in where we all came from, our original awareness, and how we often become separate from that.
