Let it Snow!





Alex and his new buddy

Even though the weather was a bit of a pain on our travel schedule, we had a blast sledding at Aunt Bethany's house. This was Zack's first time sledding (too much city living). He had a blast! Aunt Bethany and Mommy had about as much fun as the kiddos.

"Santa came!"





Christmas morning was very exciting this year. Zack put out milk and cookies for Santa and special reindeer food for Santa's crew. Zack and Alex must have been really good boys this year because they got a ton of presents. Zack kept opening presents and saying, "another game!" Alex was content with rolling around on the ground.
We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with the Huebsch Family and Christmas day at my sister's house. The weather kept us from traveling to my dad's house again this year.

It's a great day for hockey!



Zack is in hockey once a week and his Daddy takes him to skate on Saturday mornings. He seems to really enjoy his time out on the ice. He always comes off the ice with a giant smile. It looks like I'm destined to suffer through some cold hockey seasons. I'll love every minute of it!

Thanksgiving fun with the cousins

Movie night!


Aunt Meagan and Alex


We traveled to Iowa for Thanksgiving. Zack and Alex had a blast with their cousins. Above are a few pictures of Zack and his cousin Jacob. We took the boys to the Iowa Children's Museum. They have a wonderful airplane exhibit that the boys love.

Huebsch Family Thanksgiving



We hosted the Huebsch Family for Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago. It was really fun to have everyone together. Matt's brother Steve was able to fly in from Aspen to spend the weekend with us. Great Grandpa Chilly, Great Grandpa Tony and Great Grandma Sue also made the trip from Iowa. Zack had such a blast with all his grandparents. The weather was beautiful. We were even able to sucker the older boys into cleaning out our gutters.

4 months and GROWING....





Yikes, has it really been 4 months already? My giant baby is getting BIGGER. Stats for the 4 month appointment: weight - 17lbs 5oz (90-95 %) and 27 3/8 inches long (>95%). My doctor told me he is about the size of a 7 month old. Where did this baby come from? I don't know, but I'm keeping him. He has such a sweet disposition. He continues to try very hard to roll from his back to tummy. I'll let everyone know when the big event happens. We started him on rice cereal yesterday, but then I forgot to give it to him today. Not quite in the routine yet.

Zack continues to love his baby brother very much. We're settling into our new life in the burbs nicely. Zack has lots of friends and seems to really enjoy school, hockey and gymnastics.
