This and That

Scenes from the past few weeks:

We gave Zachary his birthday gift early...to buy us a few minutes of peace one evening. He plays with it some, but he still prefers to get on our laps and bang on our computers.


A couple of shots from the NATO Bazaar, in the UK area, of course. The fish 'n' chips were really good. All the countries had booths to sell national goods and food items. The USA sold handmade baskets and lots of candies-apparently the rest of the world loves Reeses and Pixie Sticks too.

Zach and I have been under the weather lately, but we've been staying inside and enjoying watching the weather outside...

We love kiwi.

And I finally got some more videos up! This one is hilarious!


And this is just a snippet of our increasingly mobile guy:

Catching you up on...oh, not a whole lot

Yeah, this last week or so hasn’t been too terribly exciting. I am enjoying a new bookshelf from IKEA (we needed more baby-can’t-reach-YET shelves), and we raked the leaves from our yard, which was much needed. But our time lately has just been full of feeding, changing, and chasing our little rascal of a baby. Man, can he eat! And he’s using a sippy cup part of the time now, with watered-down apple juice. Frank and I are really going to have to start sitting at the dining table to eat, because when we are on the couch Zach comes and tries to steal our food, no matter what it is. Oh, and he is starting to stand for a few seconds on his own, usually when his attention shifts and he doesn’t realize he’s let go. With that, and him essentially walking while pushing the highchair and kitchen chairs, real walking can’t be far off. Though if it happens in the next six weeks we may keep it a secret from some of you ;)

I took this photo a few weeks ago and just decided to make it my desktop. He’s really adorable when he’s just gotten up from a nap.

And in case any of you were worried about our sanity, we've been able to get caught up on just about all of our favorite American television shows. Oh, yeah!
