end of January

Zoe's pal Joseph came over to play and she showed him how she likes to preform on her own stage, aka our very wide window sill.


Zoe is wearing her Mama's coat and bonnet -- doesn't it look adorable and not dated at all considering it is 30+ years old.


It was Mama's birthday and the kids were very excited to have a cause to celebrate and cake to eat. Not to mention fun with the gloves that Aunt Marcia and Great Grandma Rita sent as a gift.


Zachary trying on Daddy's Yale hat. What a face ...

Zachary went with Daddy to his new office and besides being excited to ride the elevator in his office building, he also really enjoyed sitting in the office chairs. Now he has a picture in his mind when he tells Daddy to have a good day at work.

Florida 2008

Our trip to Florida was not as we expected it to be. The weather turned very cold (we had the heat on for a few days) and Zadie wasn't feeling as well as we had hoped. We did make the most of our trip though ... each of the kids had quality time with GG and Zadie. We also went to the Science Museum on one of the cold days. And we were able to go to the pool with both kids one day.

Zoe is really enjoying reading books these days, both with us and on her own. Meanwhile Zachary learned to play computer games with GG, before we know it he will be sending emails to all of you!






Zadie looks pretty good considering his last few months and more importantly, the kids were enamored with him. They only wanted to know where he was at all times, what he was doing and share in whatever he was eating. We think Zadie had lots of fun too!


Their were lots of interesting exhibits at the Science Museum as well as an aquarium. Here we are checking out some various shells. And below the kids and Daddy got friendly with some astronauts.

Zoe Bubbles

Zoe really enjoyed blowing bubbles ... ok this wasn't her first bubble encounter, but first good pics of her enjoying the bubbles. Meanwhile, Zachary is learning how to blow the bubbles he knows it is harder than it looks. Stay tuned for pics from our trip to Florida.
