Apologies

Zoe has been doing lots of stuff this new year. Sadly, I have been derelict in my duties of reporting those things here on the blog. To the loyal readers, I apologize.

That being said, I will try to get back on a good pace to have at least one post a week. To make a show of good faith, here are some very random pictures and videos to share. At some point, Zoe and I were hanging out in Barnes and Noble. She wandered over to the bargain book area and picked out something to look through. She didn't care if other people wanted to walk in that isle, she needed to read.



Apparently we'll be getting her a guitar in the near future. When she's hanging out with her mom, she is usually extra cute. Here she is holding her umbrella while it snows and helping make some pancakes.



One of her favorite gifts is her kitchen. When she was making simpler meals in her kitchen, I was able to get some video of her putting it all together.


She's getting really good with that and even helps her mom now with the big girl kitchen. This last video... well... just watch.


It's sad for Zoe, but I think this is proof that she is, in fact, my daughter. Look for more soon.

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...

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 ...
