Another Official Announcement...

The new little one will be wearing a suit to Kevin and Kristin's wedding this July! So you can safely assume that it's NOT a girl. We really expected a girl though...I was really looking forward to getting more use out of Zoey's extensive wardrobe but nothing got me in the mood like a shopping trip to clothe the new yet-to-be-named baby boy. Speaking of names...any suggestions?

20 Months Old, Halloween #2 and GO PACKERS!!!

Yeah, don't worry. I won't be one of those parents who, when asked, says their kid is 38.3 months old. Once she's 2 we'll just go in half year increments.


Assume the Sunday game watching position...


No, not that one!


Halloween #2. Zoey was Little Red Riding Hood (but she didn't like her hood much). Only bribery would work for a quick picture of the full outfit. Check out the "Ah-Pop" (lollipop in Zoey-Speak) in the one picture. She held onto that thing for a good 3 days. Even got a flu shot and didn't flinch.

I wanted to be GrandMa but ran out of gas after making this costume...but now that I look at that picture, I guess I hardly needed a costume. YIKES! Had to save some energy to carve that pumpkin...what a pain in the @**!



Hmm, maybe her agent should try to book her for a baby shampoo ad? Uh, that's her hair in a shampoo point on top of her head. Geez, we really need a new camera but I don't want to deal with learning a new one and all the software that might come with it. Who has time?


More Packer spirit!!!


Pretending to do the "Catwalk" modeling my favorite (only) Packer pj's.



Watching Elmo while Aunt Becky babysat


At "gymnastics"...in the foam pit on the left and jumping on the trampoline at right. Coach Katie showed us some flips and seat drops that Zoey loved watching. I hadn't heard her laugh so hard in a long time.

Let this be the official notice...

Hmmm...Will Zoey have a little brother or sister? Guess I need to change the title of the blog. I'm right at 12-13 weeks. Past the first trimester so I can finally make this public knowledge. Here's a picture of the critter who's made me quite ill for 6 weeks. So far the genetic counselor and sonographer say everything looks OK. We're due in mid April.

First Trip to DisneyLand

Waiting, waiting, waiting for the park to open...no idea what's in store at this point.

Not as fun as some other stuff but she's wired now. No walls to climb so why not a pole?


Thanks for being my stunt double on this one! I get queasy just thinking about getting in this ride.

Eyore!!

I HATE THIS GIRLIE RIDE!!!

Hmmm, it really is a small world after all. Pretty deep.

Our "fearless" Disneyland guides! Thanks Becky and Bill! Even Vince admitted to having a good time!

Yeah, been there & done that. I'm not tired at all.

Me neither!

Dude! That was totally awesome!!


GONE, gone, gone...


Below is a zillion pictures of Zoey on the Carousel. Definitely the favorite ride. I think we went on about 8 times.

Trip to Wisconsin...the second installment

OK, now that I finally got my camera back there's a few more pictures...


If you look closely (picture on left) you can see a baby running on a trail in what should be her natural habitat.


First time on the boat with Uncle Kevin.


Hmmm, just woke up from a long nap and I feel like posing. Love the hair! had to get that on film!



Huh? I'm sorry, did you say something about Elmo?



Weee...you can't see but we were actually on the little train that goes in a small loop in Marathon County Park. It had been Kristin's childhood dream to ride this train! Zoey agreed to help make this dream a reality for Aunt Kris.


First ride on a carousel horse.

18 Months Old and a Trip to Wisconsin!

Well, if I had my camera, there are a bunch more photos to post but Uncle Kevin was too busy buying a boat, spraining his ankle, starting another semester of Law School and working to drop off the box at UPS. Oh, I guess I coulda mentioned to him that UPS would pick up the box at his house. So, I guess I'll have a follow up post soon.


I hosted a huge baby shower here..."Aunt B" was babysitting and took some great pictures. Thanks!




The cabin...when looking at photos after the trip, Zoey dubbed it "home". It was a great place...excellent job Kev and Kris. Can't wait for the next trip.


Is someone is in need of relaxation? Or some strong medication??





That's not just some old lump of used towels...that's Zoey on her 3-hour nap while Skipper Kevin took us on a 3-hour tour.


Fun in the boat...on one of our two mildly warm days.


Kaptain Kevin on another tour.


Hmmm, not so sure about this. Nope, (or "note" as Zoey says it) definitely NOT liking the ride on the Tube...I was totally surprised.


With Mammaw Cheryl

Did I mention these two are finally getting married in July? Those are some very special pictures, huh? I'm glad Kristin will finally make an honest man of Kevin!


Mom & Kevin...I meant to get a good picture of all of us but forgot.



On the way back to Kevin & Kristin's house we stopped at a great zoo. Zoey got to feed deer, goats, turtles, rabbits...
