Such An Angel... Sometimes

There's no doubt about it, Zoe is a good kid. No, seriously. I know I joke about a lot of stuff, and believe me, she can throw a tantrum with the worst of them, but overall Zoe is really sweet, well behaved and listens when you ask her to do something. I took her to a music class not so long ago and she just looked really cute while we waited for the studio to open.



She sat and waited so patiently and then went crazy on the drums. The other night I'm not sure what got in to her, but she was just acting crazy in her playroom. I was able to capture a few good moments on video. See for yourself.



She can also be super silly, which I find incredibly fun. The other night when I was putting her down for bed, she was laying on the changing table when she put her fingers in her ears and just started to laugh. It was so bizarre that I started to laugh too, which got her going again. That went on for a couple minutes before I actually put her in her crib.

Inevitably, with those fun times come the not so fun times. Soon you'll see our Christmas card that will be made from the pictures we had taken. What you won't see is the tantrum that took place during the photo shoot where, with candy in mouth Zoe threw herself to the floor, spit out her M&Ms and then climbed up to her hands and knees to reclaim the expelled candy. After she dusted herself off, I gave her a ride in a clothes cart in the changing room. When I asked her to smile, she did this.



She's so pretty. The other day Cheryl asked her to smile and she got this lovely picture.



Yeah, that's supposed to be a smile. Now let's be serious, is that a mini-Cheryl or is that a mini-Cheryl?

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...

Italy - Day 2 - Rome

Waking up in Rome to the sound of industrial work, we decided that today we would focus on Villa Borghese and all it has to offer, primarily a row boat rental. On the way there we passed by Piazza del Popolo where we took a few pictures. Zoe grabbed a phone and snapped a few for us, too! Once in the park we made a beeline for the boat rental. Along that line there were fountains and flowers we had never seen before, so we stopped for a quick look. My favorite is Zoe taking her own selfies. She makes such wonderful faces. Making our way through all of the distractions, we found the lake that surrounds the Temple of Asclepius and rented a boat. We all hopped in and I rowed us out into the water, but it wasn't long before Zoe insisted that she could paddle the boat, so we swapped spots and the cutest boat captain took over. Now this is very important because if you ask Zoe or Cheryl they're going to tell you a completely different story. At one point in our ...
