Big News!

Zack is going to be a big brother!  I'm 12 weeks along and due July 14th.  We are all thrilled.  I got Zack a baby doll for Christmas and he pretty much has ignored her.  I'm not expecting too much more with the real thing (LOL).  

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wow, this Christmas really went by quickly!  We had a wonderful time in Iowa.  The weather was crazy (always).  What a magical time of year for a two year old and his parents.  We really had a great time watching Zack discover all the treasures of the holiday season.  He wasn't real thrilled with Santa.  He literally tried to crawl over me to get away from him.  He did enjoy talking about Santa and reading about him.  He just wanted nothing to do with visiting him.  In fact on Christmas morning when I went to get him out of bed, I told him Santa had come.  He no longer wanted out of bed and only would come with me after I assured him that Santa wasn't still here.  I found this quite funny!  We wish you all a very Happy New Year!

This white stuff is awesome!

Zack enjoyed our first real snow of the year.  He and his buddy Connor had a great morning in the park.   Every time we walk outside Zack says "it's snowing."  I remind him that it snowed.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a white Christmas.
