His Face

Zackary's face says it all on this picture, he LOVES his fire truck. This is the first toy that he has wanted carried from the first floor to the family room in the basement.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

Yesterday we celebrated Christmas with the Crosby's. Zackary picked up a gift and we thought he was going to give it to someone . . . .

. . . but apparently he needed a place to sit!

He looked at me like "what is Uncle Brian doing?"!

Christmas morning and the three of us had a leisurely day at home!

We still have four gifts under our tree. Zackary was done so we decided to save them for another day!

My First Time on a Plane

Zackary loved the luggage cars.

Reading the magazine from the seat pocket!

Studying the emergency instructions.

He was a great traveler!

Winter - We're tired of it already!

Zackary went on his first trip on an airplane almost two weeks ago. Zackary and I flew to Mississippi to see Brian graduate with his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. We are so proud of his accomplishment. We also had the opportunity to enjoy a couple days of sunshine & warmer weather (high 50's & low 60's). Zackary was a great traveler and I'll post pictures from that trip another day!

If you live in Michigan, you know that the weather has been miserable this past week. If you don't live in Michigan, you can be glad. Before the deep freeze began, Paul took Zackary outside for a couple pictures. He was fascinated with Paul's hat (and who isn't) and his gloves. The pictures turned out great and he seemed to have fun doing it. I thought it was appropriate that he has his snowmen pajamas on too!

The Tomlin family came for a visit and we celebrated Christmas. We tried to get a picture of the three boys but unfortunately none of them turned out, so here are my favorite individual shots.

Brady with a sweet smile!

Cody patiently waiting to open his gift.

Zackary decided to dump everything out of the gift bag to save time!

He's doing really well feeding himself when the meal allows it.

Zack was bored with feeding himself and was allowing me to . . . and then I guess he needed a moment to concentrate on the catalog because he pushed my hand away!

We're looking forward to Christmas with Zackary and I'm sure I'll have a lot of pictures to share by the end of the week. Merry Christmas everyone!!

ZACK PLUS SANTA = HAPPINESS

This is Zackary's second visit with Santa Claus. He loves Santa...but doesn't necessarily like sitting on his lap. He definitely had a mind of his own; when he decided that he doesn't want to do something, that's all there is to it. Sometimes he acts this way on Daddy's lap as well, so he must really like Santa a lot!!! ....He's a Mama's boy through and through

Zackary has his Mama back and is as content as can be.

Zackary is with Daddy, but dreaming of Mama.....

December Already!

We had wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We hosted Thanksgiving for my parents this year and everything turned out well. We spent most of the weekend at home, which allowed me time to decorate for Christmas. Zackary is doing really well with the Christmas tree. It was decorated very strategically so if he decided to play with the ornaments, it wouldn't be a problem. Of course he loves anything that looks like a ball (which there are a lot of balls on a Christmas tree) and each day takes a the same teddy bear ornament off -- I put it back on each night -- he takes it off the next day. I'm not sure why, but it's cute!

This is the face we get often now when we take pictures!

We opened the Nativity set I ordered for him, he seemed to like it!

I love this picture! He's so sweet!
