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.

Italy - Day 6 - Rome

Since this was our last full day in Rome, we decided to head towards Vatican City. After crossing a bridge, we made our way down the steps to follow the Tiber because Zoe wanted to explore closer to the water. Approaching the Vatican, we stopped just out of smoting range, for Cheryl's protection, before deciding that the view from the gates would suffice. From there we decided we would head out to try some very highly recommended pizza from Bonci. Zoe had to make a stop along the way for some gelato and a bathroom break, which was great because it took an hour to get our food. That being said, it was totally worth the wait! The pizza was amazing and the deep fried pasta balls were bizarre and delicious. While Cheryl was waiting, Zoe and I bought from fresh fruit and vegetables so that she would have something to eat. After a late lunch, we decided to make our way home. As we were about to cross the river, we passed Castle San Angelo and decided to make a stop. Thi...

Girls Night Out Dance

Zoe has her first dance at school, the Girls Night Out Dance, where she brought me as her date. It had been quite some time since I was at such a formal affair, but thankfully I was still able to squeeze in to my suit. Zoe looked as gorgeous as her mother with her fancy clothes, her makeup, and the big bow in her hair. We took a few pictures before we left for the dance, just to capture the moment. I drove us over to the school, and we arrived right on time, beating the crowd. A few of Zoe's friends were there, and before they turned the lights off, I took one, not-so-good, picture. It is nice to know that, as time goes by, some things never change. There was very little dancing for the two of us at the dance. She was very interested in the snacks (treats), the lights that were on the tables, but mostly in the pull up bar at the back of the gym. She spent a solid 15 minutes moving around gym mats so she could stand on them and hang from the bar. Other kids came and went,...
