Heartbreaker...

Thanks Auntie Kitty, and Miss Molly for the dinner theater performance for Z. He loved hearing you sing, and watching you dance!

More TEETH!

Big Boy Toys

Poppa pulled this truck up from storage, and Z has been having a blast with it. He is totally fascinated by the wheels, and the cherry picker. He moves the wheels around, and puts things in and takes things out of the picker. We are going to have to dig out the dump truck next!

It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

Z and I had quite the adventure trying to get to Iowa....8 hours at the airport on Wednesday, and we didn't even board a plane until Thursday morning. But we finally made it!

Long Way Home
Tom Chapin

I was comin' home, on a yellow bus,

When the bus broke down, and stranded us,

Comin' home on a yellow bus,

It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I hopped a train, comin' down the line.

The caboose came loose, I got left behind.

It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I found a boat, by the river bank,
But we struck a rock, and we promptly sank.

So I got picked up, by a submarine,

But they left me off, in the Philippines.

It was a long, long, long, long, long way home.

So I took a jet, but I couldn't pay,

So they threw me out, of the cargo bay.

My parachute, kept me safe from harm,

And I landed in a tree, on the neighbors' farm.

So I jumped a horse, but it threw a shoe,

And I had to walk, back home to you.

So I'm sorry, Mom, that I'm home so late,

And that dinner's cold, and I made you wait.

Sorry, Mom, that I'm home so late,

And that dinner's cold, and I made you wait.

It was just a long, long, long, long, long way home.

Zach's First Cellphone

and he's already racking up the daytime minutes!

Places to go, People to win over

and Z certainly has the charm to make it happen!

It always so nice to see Grandma Ann, Linwood, Auntie Christine and Jonathan! Sadly Z wasn't quite as cooperative when Jonathan held him, so we weren't able to snap a picture this time. But we'll have plenty of chances coming up at the lake!

Hottest Baby Accessory: Corn Teether

Baubles

Oooh! So many pretty things to look at, and play with. Grandma Ann has great taste in jewelry, and Z has to make sure it tastes good too! and you can see he's getting really good at pointing!

G is for Grandma Ann

It's not just T is for Tractor, when you have a whole set of Dr Seuss Alphabet cards! There were grumblings that Z wouldn't enjoy the cards, but Grandma Ann knew best, Z loves the colors, the bright shiny pictures, and of course, that delicious cardboard taste!

thank you, come again!

We love you Dada, Happy Father's Day!!

A very happy father's day wish, from two of your biggest fans!
(Don't mind the bedhead, it was a good nap!)

What, this finger?

The latest development in cute mannerizms, pointing! He points at everything, even the fingers in in his own mouth.

sad little Boston Fan...

It would have been a toothy grin, but the Celtics lost in game 7...so it's just toothy. But on the bright side, he didn't outgrow the shirt, even though we went all the way to the end!

Baseball Fan...

Z doesn't play favorites, he likes both teams!

Baby Bird

Paul snapped these pictures of Z eating breakfast, and I think he looks just like a baby bird opening up his mouth for food!
