Growing up!

So Zach is almost 7 months old! It's amazing! We've had a lot of activity around here, so blogging has sort of fallen behind. It is amazing how long it takes to catch up after vacation!

Zach loves riding on dad's shoulders. It is nice to have him pull someone else's hair for a change!

Aggie checks out what the sleeping is all about!

YUM! Bananas in the mesh feeder!


OK, and this is going to be my only political commentary from the whole long election season: Totally plagarized from the NPR via the Internet:
Rosa sat so Martin could walk
Martin walked so Obama could run
Obama runs so our children can fly

Get out and vote!

6 month birthday!

So, today was Zach's first half birthday! We had a great day. We gardened and napped.

He's getting to be a big sitting up boy! He is sitting all by himself in this shot.

And standing is his favorite past time!

And Zachy kisses are the BEST!

Chilling in the PnP
Sitting in his high chair. He eats carrots and sweet potatoes under protest.

Animals around the house

OK, so this first one is outside, but this is one intrepid spider outside of our picture window.

We set up the pack and play this week because Zach is starting to roll around and not stay in the same spot. Kovi was pretty sure we put it up for him. Bad cat.

Aggie has discovered how comfy the car seat is. She is taking badness lessons from Kovi.

Visit with Annie, Josh, and Madeline

On the way home from ME, we stopped by to see Annie, Josh and Madeline. It amazes me that Annie, Josh and I all found each other in the Peace Corps in a hotel in Washington son long ago. So much has changed, but the underlying wonderfulness of Annie and Josh is forever.
