Zo*e's Birthday

Yes, I am finally posting these pictures. They were on my parent's camera, so it took time to get them to me and then it took me lots of time to get them to you. Still, they are adorable. It was a perfect day - and it was Pe*eps season (this tells you how long ago it was!); hence, the cake. Since then, Z is more and more of a preschooler and less and less of a toddler. Our pediatrician told me at her 3 year check that I should savor this year because it will be the last year where I will see remnants of my baby - she said by 4, she is all girl and no baby! Yikes!

Beautiful child

Here she is - if you have not yet met my sweet L*ily, this is her! At 7 months, she is more fun each day. Smiling, cooing, blowing raspberries (this is a nice way of saying she is spitting at you and I have told her that this is the only time in life that she can get away with this!). She even blew raspberries while eating peas tonight and we thought it was cute... PEAS!

The irony of this set of pictures is that we took them the day D*ave lost his job. It was a difficult day at best and yet these pictures remind us of the important things in life and the blessings we do have. Thank you little one for putting that in perspective!
