More Zack

Baby Brother...

Each morning for the first three days in a row we were home, and sporadically since then, Sam has asked Zack the same question.

"Baby brother... play cars and trucks?"

Sam's not much for waiting despite our best explanations.

Sam keeping Zack company (and even keeping Zack warm with Sam's precious "little bink"!!!)... He's been such a loving, helpful big brother so far.

Just One Teensy Weensy Smile???

{Can't explain the why of these pics. This is how I found Sam the other day...}


Sam, Smile!


Okay, try again... Smile!


Really Sam, we've been working on this. Remember?... SMILE!


Look at Mom... Like THIS... SMILE!!! (I was NOT smiling like this...)


FINALLY!

More Zack Pics

... for those fans out there. Can't believe he's already a week old!

Welcome to the World, Zack

Introducing Zachary Michael.
April 20, 2008, 10:34pm
8 pounds, 12 ounces
21.5 inches long

Unfortunately, circumstances necessitated another c-section, but I'm recovering and Zack and I can't wait to go home from the hospital tomorrow. More to come... especially way too many pics for you fans out there.

We think he's a cutie. Enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!

Yep. Another year older and wiser today, as the saying goes. I'll-let-you-guess-just-how-many years ago, this little chunka hunka was born...



Sam and I woke up early (because Sam woke up early... not by choice!) and decorated downstairs with balloons, streamers, party hats, signs that Sam colored yesterday, etc. Then we made Matt some delicious steel-cut oats (you should be proud, Mom) and arranged his presents on the table. Sam was so excited when Matt finally came downstairs and we yelled, "SURPRISE DADDY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" It was pretty fun.

Happy Birthday Matt.
Love, your sweetheart
...and your little monkey

New 'Do

Well... yes. I have a new 'do thanks to Jen's fabulous recommendation.

But this BLOG does too! And with this new look, I am officially declaring it MY blog. Matt has long since abdicated any responsibility of posting, etc., so why not make it PINK? :)

Pick a new 'do for your blog, (thanks, Leese) at www.cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com. Best of all, it's free, simple, and you don't have to re-enter any of your sidebar info. Check it out...

"Rooky Beer"

Yep. Last night we had pizza (of which Sam ate two WHOLE slices). I also had some root beer I was drinking. Sam's latest favorite thing to do is ask, "What is it?" When I told him it was root beer, he repeated "Rooky Beer". Ha ha. Yep. I guess when it has zero alcohol in it, you could call it that...



Rooky Beer, anyone?

PS - Anyone see the Red Sox / Indians game last night? It was AWESOME. Manny for Prez.

Sneak Peak at our Dallas Trip

I'm thoroughly done traveling this pregnant. But here are some sneak pics at our Dallas trip from last week...

Only Soph would manage this feat...

Playing in Gma's bed

Sam just chillin on the chair. NOT POSED! Funny boy...

Playing rummikub with Cael and Great Grandma.


Thanks to Bet and Aunt Sandi for their hospitality! We sure had a fun time! More to come...

Sunglasses and Sam

Can't go anywhere without them lest that blasted sun might get in his eyes. And... when we went to the grocery store the other day, Sam insisted on having his doggie wear his sunglasses in the car while we went inside. Nice...

Here's Sam from the other morning in my sunglasses when the early sun was "too bright".
