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.

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.
