Zack's Smiling...

Look at my muscles.

Classic Zack Pic

Little Z

We know three things about Zack so far.

He loves to
1 - furrow his brow
2 - flare his nostrils
3 - blow bubbles.

Boys Sort of Birthdays

I can't believe my baby is one month old (as of yesterday!)... AND that my little boy is now officially two and a half. Happy one month and half birthdays to Sam and Z.

My "brothers" photo shoot.






How they actually felt about the photo shoot...

Paternity Leave

Matt did much more than this... but it's no wonder Sam asks for Dad about 20 bajillion times a day since he's gone back to work. They're best buddies.

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
