Step Away from the Bike

Earlier this week we went out front for a random play date with our next door neighbors. Zander and Owen played with yard utensils and ultimately ended up in Owen's backyard playing with all his fun yard toys. They are at an age where they seem to be playing quite well together, although Zander likes to hoard all the toys/yard tools. It's fun to watch. Here are a few pictures of Zander hijacking Owen's tricycle.

Did you hear the big news?

I'm going to be a big brother. November 16th is when my new playmate arrives. It's a good thing, because these dogs are getting boring!

Easter Sunday

We had a nice Easter weekend. Friday night we prepped Zander for his first egg hunt on Saturday morning by scattering some plastic eggs and a bucket on the living room floor.

He knew just what to do. We are talking about one smart cookie. It was no different at the egg hunt. He managed to get ten eggs into his bucket before they all disappeared.


Not bad for his first Eggstravaganza! After the egg hunt and naps, we ended the afternoon running around at the park. Sunday morning we woke up pretty early and ventured out to Seaworld for the Easter Sunrise Service they do out there each year.

It was really nice to worship God in the midst of His creation. Zander did really well, clapping and dancing to the music and using sign language to point out the birds flying by the stadium. We'll probably do that again next year.

After naps, we went to Easter brunch, where Zander enjoyed full strength apple juice for the first time, which we quickly decided to dilute, since we could tell he was just a little too happy. After another nap, we went for a family walk toting Zander in his wagon. It was a great day celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.

Random Photos

Zander and Evan are hanging out watching a Bible story video right now, so i thought I'd take some time to post a few updated random photos, including one of them on the floor right now.

Here is a photo from an adventure we made to Bahama Breeze the other night. We scored some free $10 gift cards so thought we'd put them to use and go share this great portabello mushroom sandwich they have there. Zander colored and made friends with some kids at another table.

Here is one of him in the backyard roaming around a week or two ago in some of his summer Rock Wear, which is still a little too big, but fun nonetheless.
