Zoe Turns 3!

This past weekend was Zoe's third birthday party. We decided to hold it at Bounce U in Langhorne because if there is anything Zoe loves, it's jumping around like a lunatic. A bunch of her friends and family were invited and she had such a great time. She got to sit in the Bounce U throne and Joe Pop was there to sit with her.



When we first walked in to the room, all of the motors used to keep the bouncing equipment inflated were very loud and it looked like Zoe wasn't going to have a very happy birthday after all. Thankfully, while she was upset, she saw her friends run in and start playing, and all of a sudden the noise wasn't so bad any more. The first thing she enjoyed was a large round area that had a giant red ball on a rope. She would swing it out, brace herself, let it smack her in the face, then fall to the ground laughing.



Everyone had a great time running around and playing, including most of the adults. I know that I certainly had just as much fun as the kids.



Once all the bouncing was over, it was time to have some pizza, some cake and open a few presents. Of course Zoe doesn't eat pizza, but she does love cake. She was also really great about allowing others to help her open her presents.



It was a lot of fun and before we knew it, it was time to go home. Zoe wasn't stingy when it came to saying goodbye with hugs and kisses.



Thanks to everyone who helped make it a very special day for Zoe. There are a bunch of other pictures in the Third Birthday set on Flickr. Oh, and before I forget to mention it, Ben did get to keep the balloon.

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,...

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...

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.
