Around The House And Sesame Place

As she gets older, Zoe does more and more around the house. One of the things she enjoys doing is cooking while Cheryl cooks. This involves Cheryl getting a bowl, filling it with Cheerios and giving Zoe some kind of stirring implement, like a spoon or whisk. Zoe then stirs up what's in there and makes sure to give it a taste every now and again, like so.



She has also become much more interested in her potty. This has gone hand in hand with a desire to either be fully naked or bottomless. Even though it may mean Zoe will never speak to me when she realizes that these pictures are on the Internet, I give you potty time.



The Sunday before Christmas we made our way up to Sesame Place for their Very Furry Christmas experience. The 60-degree weather held out without a drop of rain the entire time we were there. We got to see all of the characters in the parade and Zoe was super excited to point them all out to us. Here are a few shots from that day.



That last one is her waving and saying hello to someone in the parade, possibly the Count or Elmo. Be sure to check out Zoe's set on Flickr to see even more pictures.

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 ...
