A Sick Day For Zoe

This past week Zoe was home for a few days because she wasn't feeling well. It all started after she went to bed on Monday night. I was just tucking Cheryl in when it sounded like Zoe coughed. She coughed again and when I went in to look in on her, she had thrown up all over her bed. We took her out and I washed her up in the shower. Cheryl spent the night laying with her and I took off Tuesday to stay with her at home.

She was eventually able to keep food down, which got her spirits up a bit. Even though she wasn't feeling her best, she still insisted on taking care of her babies and dressing up like a princess.



Of course, all of that work can really wipe you out. That's probably why when she requested to lay on the couch and watch the Wizard of Oz, she didn't even make it to Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Before Dorothy even started singing, this is what she looked like.



The next day Cheryl stayed home with her and took her to the doctor where she was diagnosed with a really bad ear infection. She was prescribed some medicine, which she loves and eagerly takes herself, and is almost fully recovered. It was so sad to see her sick, but she was a quick study and when she was throwing up was getting most of it in to the bowl we provided. Any day now she'll look like this again.



I can't wait!

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...

Visit from Nana and Poppy

To make sure she didn't forget about her parent's birthday's, Cheryl gave them their presents on the day of the baby shower. For her father, she got a nice webcam so that we could Skype with them to interact with Zoe. A few weeks ago we had done that for the first time and it actually worked out really well. So on Monday, April 2nd, Cheryl's parents came up from Florida to meet Zoe face to face for the first time. On one day Cheryl and Zoe went to Clark Park with Nana and Poppy. Later in the week Cheryl's sister Debbie came by with her daughters, Zoe's cousins, Ashlee and Taylor. Just before they left, Cheryl remembered to take a picture. Here's Zoe with her cousin Taylor. As always, you can find all of these pictures and more in Zoe's Set on Flickr.
