Anyone who knew me as a child knows why this picture is posted...i was always falling asleep at the dinner table. But this time with Zada it was a tad different...she was only having a snack and she had just woke up from a 3 hour nap! Can anyone say growth spurt! This child is eating us out of house and home.

Tom started a new job and it really seems to be working out well for all of us! He is still working long hours but it is early in the day...he beats us home! It is a nice change of pace. He has even been showing off his cooking skills the past few weeks and that i really appreciate. It is hard to work a full day, drive home, make dinner, bathtime and then off to bed you go with no quality time.

My job is still very busy and now that contract renewals are up it gets even more hectic for me and the boss. Good thing he is a good guy and understand when people get tired, hot and moody once in a while.

Also wanted to send a congrats out to the Bauman family who will be adding another addition to them in early March...they are uber cute...all 4 of them! Let's just all pray for a healthy baby and ask for a babygirl for those two boys to look after :).

until next time....

i can't believe she is three...

SO IT IS OFFICIAL...MISS PRINCESS BOO BOO IS 3! SHE TURNED 3 ON FRIDAY THEN HAD HER PARTY ON SATURDAY. WE ALWAYS KEEP HER PARTIES SMALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE HATES A LOT OF NOISE...UNLESS IT IS HER MAKING IT! OF COURSE ALMOST EVERY PRESENT WAS SOMETHING THAT MAKES NOISE...THOSE ARE HER FAVORITE!

IT IS VERY CRAZY TO LOOK BACK ON HER 3 SHORT YEARS AND THINK ABOUT ALL THAT SHE HAS BEEN THRU. SHE IS SUCH A LITTLE SOLDIER! I KNOW SHE WAS PUT INTO OUR LIVES TO MAKE US THE STRONG HUSBAND AND WIFE THAT WE ARE TODAY AND BECAUSE GOD KNEW THAT WE WOULD NEVER TURN OUR BACKS ON HER.

SHE WILL STILL FACE A LIFETIME OF CHALLENGES AND I HOPE SHE FIGHTS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY JUST AS SHE HAS BEEN DOING. SHE IS GETTING CLOSER TO WALKING...THEY SAID SHE NEVER WOULD. I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING THEY SAY SHE "WON'T DO" ... SHE WILL DO. SHE IS VERY DETERMINED AND THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT HER. I THINK ZADA WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH ZOE ALONG THE BEATEN PATH ALSO. SHE PUSHES ZOE TO DO THINGS AND IT WORKS!

ZADA IS GROWING FAST ... AND SHE ALSO GOT A PRESENT YESTERDAY! UNCLE STEVE AND AUNT SUZANNE GOT HER JELLY'Z. AND IF YOU WERE A GIRL BORN IN THE EARLY 80'S YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT...THE JELLY SHOES! AND HERS ARE THE UBER COOL JELLY'Z BRAND! SHE HAD TO HAVE THEM ON RIGHT AWAY...SHE IS A SHOES GIRL LIKE MOMMY!

NOW WE ARE GOING TO RELAX THESE NEXT TWO DAYS...THE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING AGAIN...BUT ONLY FOR 4 DAYS! WOOO HOOO!

HOPE ALL IS WELL FOR ALL OF OUR LOVED ONES...

PS...AND WE MADE IT TO OUR 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
