Pots & Pans

Zachary has discovered a new favorite game. There are so many different parts to the game of "Pots & Pans!"
First, there's the unloading.

Second, assessing & organizing space.

Third, the excitement of having unloaded everything.

Fourth, putting the pans in a circle and dancing in the middle - very exciting.

Fifth, stacking pots & pans is very noisy (notice his eyes...he's anticipating the "crash" sound!)

Last, the complexity of reloading the pots & pans into the cabinet.

Whew...what an exhilarating game!

Trip to Bethlehem

Zachary participated in a Christmas "Trip to Bethlehem" at his preschool today. Each child was assigned to be a "wise man" or a "shepherd." They made and wore a headpiece to reflect their role. Zachary was a wise man and wore his little crown. Then they "journeyed" through Bethlehem and visited many little "shops" (carpentry, baking, etc...), they went "fishing," and helped bring water from the "well." Later, they gave their "offerings" as gifts to baby Jesus. When giving his "offering," Zachary was not as reverent as the teachers had hoped, and he threw his coin satchel into the basket as if it was a free throw. We couldn't believe he made that shot! It was pretty funny.

Thanksgiving 2007

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Florida, so we were able to enjoy warm weather!

Todd's always been a humble guy (seriously). When he told me he caught a fish, I said, "How big was it?" He said, "I could have put it in my pocket."

Zachary enjoyed the sand & "Unky" Dan's seashells.

On behalf of Mommy & baby Zacharina, Zachary was able to participate in the annual family football game. So cute!

Even though Grandpa threw out his back in the family football game, Zach was still begging to go for a piggy back ride - "Back...back..." he'd say...and Grandpa can't say no.

I had to include this funny picture of Zach eating Peanut Butter & Jelly. So funny.

Thanksgiving Fun

I'll have some Thanksgiving pictures on our blog soon, but Aunt Jen already has some good ones on hers. Check them out!

Mommy's view

...The best view in the house! Zachary has started sitting in a booster seat at the table with us and I love it! What's better than a yummy dinner with my two favorite people? I am very blessed!
