A Whole Lot Of Stuff

There is a lot to catch up on here, so I will just jump right in. Two weekends ago we swung by Mimi and Joe Pop's where Zoe enjoyed hanging out in the front yard and just acting cute. Cheryl took some video of her singing her pumpkin song (which may get posted here later) but she also took some nice pictures too. Here she is among the decorations and grandparents.



After that, earlier last week, Zoe got dressed up to take care of her baby. There's something about her looking in the mirror to see what she looks like with her baby while getting her picture taken that really gets me.



Later that day, after the sun had set, the weather was still nice so I decided to put up the screen on the porch for a bit of a movie/television night. Zoe is enjoying the Great Aunt Venture episode of Sofia the First. It's one of her favorites and, because I can't keep my eyes off the screen when she watches it, it is one of my favorites, too.



A few days later, Zoe was just sitting on the couch with her kitty and her wand. Cheryl took some pictures of a tender moment between a child and her cat.



This weekend Cheryl and Zoe took a trip across the river to the Aquarium, or, as Zoe likes to call it, the Fish Museum. They had a great time interacting with the different animals there.



That brings us up to date. Now don't forget, you can always find all of these pictures, and more, on Flickr.

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 ...
