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.

Paris - Day Five: Louvre, More Gardens, Photobooths, Macaroons, Love

Today was scheduled to be a somewhat random day. We didn't have anything specific we were planning to do, meaning no pre-purchased tickets, but a number of stops to make and things to see. The first stop on our list for the day was a photobooth that was out near Moulin Rouge. It was in a giant, open gallery space where there were people dancing and vendors selling food. We found the booth and took a few pictures. Right near the booth there was an old trailer of some sort that was converted in to a little library. Since Zoe loves books, even if they're in a language she doesn't read, she went in and browsed the selection. She then said she'd like one of these for our house back home. We'll see what we can do. She didn't actually take the book with us, but she wanted to pose with it. At this point it was time to get something to eat, so we hopped on the Metro and took it to Cafe des 2 Moulins, the restaurant from the movie Amelie. The food was great, the...

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,...

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.
