No Peeing In The Pool

Even though Zoe and Issac hang out every week day, we don't really have that many pictures of the two of them together. When Cheryl got home yesterday, she grabbed the camera and helped to resolve that problem. This is what she got.

Now, I will fully admit that all of these pictures are cute; however, these next two just kill me with how over the top adorable they are. You can tell me if I'm wrong, but I probably won't listen.

Her arm is around his shoulder! Along with that, there are times when Zoe feels that Issac should be clapping, even if he doesn't know it. So, like a good friend, she helps to show him how it's done. Take a look.

At least she makes it up to him with a kiss and a picnic basket. That will usually smooth over any problem.

The big news from today is that Zoe started her swim lessons with me at the local YMCA. The classes are from 9:00am to 9:30am on Saturday mornings, which is pretty perfect timing wise. We already knew she loved the pool from our visit to Nana and Poppy's, so I was hopeful this would go well. Apart from the water being a little cold, the first session went fairly well.

By the end of the class, she should be able to be in the water with some floatation support and be able to kick, crawl or otherwise crudely swim towards me. We'll see how it goes.

All right, you know the drill by now. Zoe's set on Flickr. Lots more pictures. What are you waiting for?

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...

Baby Shower

Today the family was headed to George and Amanda's baby shower. Before we even got ready, I was playing with Zoe in bed. She was just sitting on my stomach, staring at her feet and drooling. Here are a few pictures. After play time, we had to get ready to head out. Zoe wore a nice dress, even if it was a little big on her. I took a picture of her in it before we left, then a bunch more of her while we were outside. Take a look and Zoe and Cheryl together. They're so cute! Those two are so gorgeous on their own that they become simply stunning when put together. I just can't get enough. Anyway, if you take a look at all of these, and more, in Zoe's set on Flickr, you can see all of the detail in the drool. It's really quite amazing.
