October 2009--8 Months Old

With Stephen's deployment more than halfway over, October has flown by. Madden and I are still staying at my mother's in Shreveport. My mother had surgery on her back in late September, so it worked out perfectly that I am here to help out. She is recovering well. We all took advantage of the beautiful weather when we got a chance, and Madden got to crawl around outside. We also took him to a petting zoo and pumpkin patch for some great photos. He loved the playground and all the animals.
