the Philosophy of Z

Wear your heart on your sleeve, and your lunch all over your face...

never enough birthday!

 Birthday wishes all the way from Switzerland. Hi Jayden, Kristen and Cedric!

 Z slept through the first part of present opening...Paul was a good substitute birthday boy!

 When he woke up from his nap, he was ready to start enjoying his new presents.

 Of course we saved some presents for Z to open up himself.

 He dove right in! Happy Birthday Z!

play break!

Z had fun interrupting Daddy's hard work on the deck! I don't think Daddy minded the break. =)

on deck

 

Wow! What a project this became. We thought the guys would just be reinforcing the posts, and making sure the deck was safe for Z to crawl around on, (and for me to have a patio set on!) Turned out the posts would need to be replaced, and getting the old ones out would require using a jackhammer to get 4 feet of concrete out of the ground! Huge thanks to Z's Great Uncle Bob, and Pepere for their expertise, and hard work. And an extra thanks to Pepere for Paul's toolbox full of birthday presents!
