Sunday Lazy Sunday

Hopefully this doesn't jinx anything, but last night Zoe gave her mother and I the best night of sleep we've had in a while. Now that's not to say that we don't get enough sleep every night, but for Cheryl, it is typically broken up into lots of little pieces; however, last night she was able to get a nice long stretch.

I'm not sure if it was the marathon sleeping, but today seemed to just be a lazy day. Earlier mom and daughter just sat on the couch enjoying each others company. Following that, Zoe stayed a short stint on her changing table. We're not sure why she likes it so much there, but I don't question it.

Now you may notice an uptick in the number of pictures of my two favorite ladies. That would be due to two things. First, I just like taking pictures of my family and second, Cheryl traded in her old camera for a new one, which she has graciously allowed me to use. With that, here are some gratuitous bath pictures.

Early in the afternoon Greg and Janice stopped by to see Zoe. They brought an awesome wagon with them, which we can't wait to use. When they left, Zoe went in her lounger on the back table. She seemed to really enjoy herself there.

As always, you can find these and more pictures in Zoe's set on Flickr.

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Riding Together for the First Time

Today my bike was finally fixed, so I picked it up from the shop before picking Zoe up from Science Club. When she saw my bike she was very excited to go for a ride. It was overcast all day, but the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening, so we rushed home, she finished all her homework, and I loaded her bike onto the car. I packed a bag with some water and a couple snacks and we made our way to Lorimer Park. Before we took off down the trail, I wanted to take a selfie, but I was so excited that I forgot my helmet, so there are two selfies. As soon as I finished the picture she took off down the path. Fortunately I was able to catch up, phone in hand, to take a few pictures as we cruised down the trail. I am a mostly competent bike rider, but trying to pay attention to her, and the trail, and keep myself upright while holding my phone was tricky. So, I decided to take some video where, for the most part, I could rest my hand on the handlebars. She is so good a...

Visit from Nana and Poppy

To make sure she didn't forget about her parent's birthday's, Cheryl gave them their presents on the day of the baby shower. For her father, she got a nice webcam so that we could Skype with them to interact with Zoe. A few weeks ago we had done that for the first time and it actually worked out really well. So on Monday, April 2nd, Cheryl's parents came up from Florida to meet Zoe face to face for the first time. On one day Cheryl and Zoe went to Clark Park with Nana and Poppy. Later in the week Cheryl's sister Debbie came by with her daughters, Zoe's cousins, Ashlee and Taylor. Just before they left, Cheryl remembered to take a picture. Here's Zoe with her cousin Taylor. As always, you can find all of these pictures and more in Zoe's Set on Flickr.
