the end of April

Well, Jen still has the "Garage Sale Bug" so we went to a few more this Saturday morning. Grammy is away this weekend, so Jen was bummed about missing out on the Friday ones. We also went to a Library Book Sale in Mount Joy and gota nice stack of books for $9. I think I am going to have to buy another black book case for her room soon, since the one in there is already packed with about 1/2 books and 1/2 stuffed animals!

We went to a belated Easter Egg hunt at Becky's mom house on Friday evening. Zoe enjoyed watching all the little kids running around and she will be able to participate next year. It was very nice that they invited us and even had a nice horsie outfit that she had bought for Zoe. Plus we left with a goodie bag full of baby food, juices and crackers, so all in all it was very nice.

Zoe hit 14 weeks this past Thursday and we can't believe how big she is getting. She is getting even more vocal and animated with each passing week.

Ok, here are this week's pictures. Jen and I are going to take turns posting each weekend, so I'll see ya back here in 2 weeks.

A great big smile





Getting some "Belly Time"





Out for a walk across the road on the track




Close up of Zoe in the Baby Bjorn that we just love. She loves to check things out, so it works just great for her.






Just hangin' out, talkin' to her Zebra that Pap and Grandma got for her!

Garage Sale

Hi everyone! I decided to post a little about this week. Well, why should Kevin have
all the fun? This week Zoe has been such a happy little baby. I set up her high chair and she loves it. I can wheel her around to wherever I am in the house and she can watch. She really enjoys being upright. She is also vocalizing more and smiling a lot.
The only time she fusses is when she is wet, tired or hungry and those problems are easily remedied.
Today we went to a few garage sales with her Grammy Traylor and bought 26 books for $7!
You can't beat that. I think we are hooked on this garage sale thing.
I am posting one of my favorite pictures of us.
Later, Jen

the 5 day easter break

This has been a great 5 day weekend. The weather has been nice and we did a lot of fun things together as a family. Plus anytime I get 5 days off in a row, that is a good thing. The school year is winding down with only about 35 school days to go, so this long weekend was a nice preview of summer and all the time we can spend together.

On Thursday, we went to Lititz to walk around all the cool shops. Zoe likes to be in the Baby Bjorn and face forward so that she gets to check everything out. She especially liked an art gallery that we went in that had lots of brightly colored paintings.

On Saturday, we went to Peddler's Village with Aunt Karen and we had a nice day there as well. It was Karen's first time there and she really liked it. Again, Zoe liked checking everything out from the Baby Bjorn.

Today is Easter and we are going to Mom Mom's house for dinner and to hang out in the afternoon. That means the 5 day weekend is drawing to a close, but damn it was a good one.

$%#@ computer!

Blogger crashed while I was adding photos and I lost the 3 paragraphs I was about to post. I am not doing that again. The short version: Yes, I know we missed last week, we were busy. Zoe has had a cold the last few days and is very congested - she caught this cold from me, so I feel bad. She took her first nap in her crib. She loves her changing table and crib mobiles that we set up for her. She also enjoys that perpetual motion art thingie that I got for her at the Whitaker center this week. I will try not to miss another week.

Please don't crash, please don't crash, please don't crash...
