Zack the Photographer

On Saturday, April 12, Zack and I went to a baptism together. I let him be in charge of the camera and he took a lot of shots of everything, but I wanted to post my favorites he took of Zoe. She is everybody’s muse.

Stress Management

Got this in an email from a friend. I thought it would make a good post. If you don’t want to read all of this, just look at the picture of Zoe. She takes stress away very nicely… just by looking at her. This was excellent description of stress, and then wisdom to cope with [...]

Strawberry Shortcake

Here’s Zoe in the strawberry outfit that Auntie Kristen sent. I LOVE it! You know me and strawberries. It’s hard to find cute strawberry stuff. I didn’t think this outfit would be as cute as it is on her… comes with butt ruffle and strawberries all over. Why do I like it so much? It [...]

Zoe in Action

Here’s footage of Zoe (at 6 weeks – meant to do this last Saturday) hanging out with Medo (Croatian for “bear” and named by Auntie Maria who is from Zagreb). She sneezes, she kicks, she punches, she makes baby sounds, she fusses. I tried to get her to do the sky diving pose she does [...]

Blessing Baby

We are blessing baby Zoe on Sunday, March 2. (At 2:30pm, come if you can!) Monday was Family Home Evening and I gave a lesson about the importance of names. We read the accounts of how John the Baptist and Jesus received their names (Luke 1:5-14, 26-33). Names are important to Heavenly Father. I asked [...]

Girls’ Night Out — Oh Yeah!

All my California friends went out to see 27 Dresses for a girls’ night out weeks ago. I was so bummed that I couldn’t go with them, but I kept my “Debbie Downer” negative comments to myself. I think I even wished them a happy day. I didn’t want to ruin the perfect happiness of [...]

Daddies Make the Best Beds

I’m not talking about a male person with progeny putting sheets and blankets on a bed in a pleasing manner. I’m talking about the progeny sleeping peacefully for hours on said male person in a blissfully comatose state. The picture says it all… Zoe is doing very well and having lots of firsts this weekend. [...]

Proto – Zoe

She’s three weeks old and finally had her first bath! That’s not to say that we didn’t clean her up with sponge baths–we’re not like that psycho German family that Susie used to nanny for who didn’t plan to bathe their baby until it turned one–but her umbilical cord fell off this past week giving [...]

Bridge Fest

A new family tradition was created today when we participated for the second year in a row in the YMCA Bridge Fest. It’s a 5K Run/Walk that was started (16 years ago) to commemorate the building of the Lake Houston Parkway Bridge which connects Atascocita and Kingwood. They close one side of the bridge, make [...]

Flying Solo

My mom left today. She’s headed for beautiful Hawaii to hang out with her sister for the weekend and then she’ll be back on a plane for Guam. She has come out like this for every one of my children when they were born, but this time she didn’t stay for a whole month, just [...]
