January Stuff

A bunch of stuff was going on in January that I haven't written about yet, so this is a quick catch up post. Zoe had her first ever roller derby practice on January 12th! About 5 minutes after we got there the power went out, so it was a very non-standard practice, but I was able to take one picture of Zoe sitting under the emergency lighting.



She seemed to enjoy it, so hopefully she'll stick with it. After the practice was over we had plans to hang out with the Millers. When we got to G4's house, we decided to take all the little kids out to an indoor play area that had things to climb on, video games, a bounce house, and a giant stuffed bear!



Everyone had a great time, even though no one seemed to be significantly exhausted when the playing was done.

It seems like a long time ago now that Zoe lost her two front teeth, but Cheryl was able to take a couple good shots of her this past week to highlight her gap tooth smile.



It will be gone eventually, so be sure to enjoy it while it lasts.

Finally that brings us to artwork. Zoe made a story with some illustrations titled Wacky Wednesday.



I think my favorite part is when she soll a lemon poring lemonaid. This is proof that she definitely has my sense of humor. There are lots more pictures of things we've done recently in the January - March 2019 album on Flickr, so be sure to check them out.

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 ...
