Trunk or Treat

This year for Halloween Zoe wanted us to dress up like characters from Wreck-It Ralph. If you don't know what that is you can check out the official site. With our costumes picked out we put everything together and made our way into New Jersey for our first Trunk or Treat. This is an event where parents get together before Halloween to allow their children to trick or treat knowing that the treats they are getting will not clash with any allergies. This helps prevent unnecessary crying when a child is told they cannot have something because they're not allowed to eat it.

So this is what we looked like when we arrived on the scene.



Along with that we had to decorate our trunk with the theme of our costumes. I made a scoreboard, that Zoe would sit in front of a recite the names of the racers, and Cheryl made all of the grandstands for the candy.



We didn't know this, but apparently you can vote on your favorite set up. Some people were actually asking for our number so they could vote for us, but sadly we did not win. Even though there was a little rain, it was still a great day and we all had a good time making the rounds from trunk to trunk.



Can't wait until next year!

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.
