First Time at the Beach

Cheryl, Zoe and I spent this past weekend down in Sea Isle City, NJ with a few friends. We arrived during the day on Friday and, since I was anxious to introduce Zoe to the ocean, we went right to the beach after we unpacked. The water was nice for me, but it was too cold for Zoe. She stood in the sane with the water washing over her feet for a moment, but she didn't like it much. After that, Cheryl and I took turns holding her and letting her soak it all in.

We took a lot of nice walks on the beach and Zoe slept really well. She also seemed to enjoy the company of everyone who came down as she was very pleasant all weekend. There wasn't much else to do apart from going to the beach, but Zoe managed to watch a little bit of the Olympics and make her way into the arcade for a bit.

The only thing that was disappointing was that the store behind Zoe in this picture didn't sell the I heart boobies in a onesie.

I just want to make sure to say thank you again to Joe Pop and Uncle Mark for going down to the shore house on the Wednesday before we got there to fix the water. We would have stayed home again if it wasn't for you. And, as always, Zoe's set on Flickr has all of these pictures and more, so don't forget to check it out.

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.
