Oh my...

Let's see...it is May 24th and my last post was January something...I'm so terrible...

This pregnancy is going really well....particularly in comparison to how sick and miserable I was with Zach! The only "problem" right now is that the baby is breach (upside down), but he/she has alot of time to flip back around so I'm not worried. I am getting kicked/punched/head-butted/elbowed all day and all night, this is one active baby!

Zachary is also one active kid and he chatters all day long while playing :) He says: hi, ball, mama, dada, no and baby really well. We can tell when he says kitty too, although it doesn't come out as clearly. He is now walking like a pro as well, hardly ever crawling anywhere anymore.

I would promise to post more, but based on my history I'd better not :)

Happy Memorial Day!

Play Hard, Sleep Hard

2 Birthdays and A New Year's Resolution

Soooo, obviously it's been quite some time since I did any updating or posting on this here blog. Time runs away from me and so does a one year old, which in essence are the poor excuses I have for staying away so long.
December brought two glorious events - Zachary's first birthday and Jesus' birthday!
Both were celebrated with much joy, reflection and gratitude. We got to spend time with friends and family for both occasions and closed another year with the knowledge that God is good ALL THE TIME.
Now, I usually don't partake in resolutions as that seems to be a recipe for disaster, but my one resolution for 2009 is to keep this up to date more often. Going back to work and intensely missing Zach for the few hours I am away from him each day gave me fresh perspective on how hard it is to love him and be away from him full time. So for all those who love Zach, particularly his long-distance grandparents, I resolve to give you more Zachary on a weekly basis.

Here are a few pictures from Zach's birthday and from Christmas.
