Pre-Birthday Catch Up

There is, generally speaking, always something going on and let's just say that I do not excel at keeping blog posts up to date. That being said, since Zoe's birthday is tomorrow, here are some of the things, both great and small, that Zoe has been doing.

She went to Nattai's birthday party and the karate dojo right around the corner from our house. There she learned how to kick, run obstacle relay races, and, most importantly, how to fight with a foam light saber.


After that we took a trip to help Mimi with her computer. Turns out that whatever she did was well beyond my capabilities. So we loaded in to the car and took a trip to Best Buy to get Mimi a new computer. While we were waiting, Zoe tested out her artistic ability on one of the floor models.



On our way to the creek one day, neither of us were paying close attention, and we startled some deer on the bridge, who, in turn, startled us. I got a quick picture of her waving to the deer just beyond the bridge before we made it down to the water.



But that's not the best part. The best part is I had the genius idea to let her use one of her snow tubes to ride down the creek like it was a water slide. If only the tube was big enough for me!


Finally, for Dr. Seuss Day at school, Zoe dressed up as the Cat in the Hat, and then got to take a sweet picture with her friend during the book fair.



And that about catches us up! Stay tuned for more miscellaneous posts about the random things we do.

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.
