Whoa!

Nathanael started go down the stairs on his own a little over a month ago. He was well-taught by his big brother and Ga. cousins. I remember when my brother, Byron, used to do this. I rarely have to use the gates anymore! Yippee....can you here him say, "whoa!"?

What is Nathanael up to?











This little guy loves to climb! He has a few new tricks this month - going down the stairs (fast), climbing on chairs and crawling over toys. These pictures make me crack up!



Five Parties for the 5 Year Old
















Zachariah celebrated his 5th birthday on January 2nd. Actually, he started celebrating a month earlier while in Mississippi with his Grandparents (party #1). Then, he opened presents and had cake with his cousins and Uncle Byron who celebrate a near same birthday (party #2). Mommy and Daddy took him to O'Charlie's, too, where he loves to eat Cheetios. (party #3-not pictured) He also had a party at Preschool (Party #4) and the grand finale, nearly 2 months later was a Chuck E Cheese with friends (party #5). Whew....I hope we do not have to do that again for another year! Happy Birthday Zman!!!!

Christmas 2008




We had a great time celebrating the holidays in our home. Zachariah got up early to see if Santa visited and checked out all the presents before the rest of us woke up! Then we headed to my parents house (Bethany) in Blissfield for a few days.

Visiting Santa







Zachariah & Nathanael put their wish list in with Santa last weekend. We attended a fun craft morning at the Holland Civic Center. Zachariah tends to be a bit shy and Nathanael was pretty curious to check him out.

Happy 1st Birthday Nathanael!



You enjoyed your first birthday with three celebrations- which each set of grandparents! And, by the third celebration, you knew what cupcakes were all about. We love you so much - your sweet smile, spirit, "go with the flow" attitude and how much you look up to your big brother- already!

Turkey, birthdays and Visitin'




We just returned from a whirlwind trip to Jackson, Mississippi. We drove nearly 850 miles each way. I now know why people say they need a rest after their vacation. We are whooped!




Highlights for the adults were visiting friends, celebrating both boys birthdays and eating Thanksgiving outside in the woods! THE highlight for Zachariah was getting to go fishing with Ralph. Nathanael learned a new trick with his tongue & lips as well.




Here are some pictures from our trip:
