Easter

So everyone looks like they had a good easter, I am glad to hear it wasn't as bad as ours. Unfortunately we were all sick Easter morning. Zoe has bronchitis, I had something yucky, and Taylor got what I got--which I think we all got from the plane ride home. The sacrifices we make for family huh!! But it was all worth it- we loved being in Cali and now I am a little Cali-home sick...especially for the sun. It's frickin' cold here in philly (well it's getting warmer I guess), but compared to "Paradise" it's just not the same. So after the last three nights with Zoe caughing, crying, barely breathing and 2am rite aid runs.....I guess we are surviving. So Happy Easter Everybody, I hope the Easter bunny brought you lots more than he brought us!!

Mandy and James's Wedding

Mandy and James got married on March 15th 2008. Mandy is my younger sister (22)! It was a beautiful cerimony and a gorgeous day... but it was FREEZING. I don't know how we all survived without big heavy coats. Mandy especially she had to have been numb by the end of her pictures. Mandy looked beautiful as always, and her new hubbie is quite handsome himself. Taylor couldn't be there due to his hospital rotations, but wished that he could of been there. We love you guys. Welcome to the family James.

Photo Shoot

My new found friend Danica took these pictures for me. She did an amazing job. Thanks Danica.

6 months old!!

Daddy and Zoe

Being as Taylor is gone a lot due to his crazy rotation schedule, he doesn't get to see Zoe do what she does best... Eating. He fed her the other day (not for the first time, but in a while), and he was so amazed at how well she is progressing. As you can see she loves all of her foods, including the green ones. So nevermind the messy face, you know me, I just had to get it all on film. It's so fun to see them interact together, she adores her daddy and gets so excited when he walks in the door. She is such a little sweetheart and we just love her.

Going Night-Night!

I've decided to take as many pictures of Zoe as possible. She's already getting so big, I can't believe she's not a newborn anymore. Even if your hubbie thinks your crazy for taking so many pictures, you can never get those precious moments back, so I say-- snap away, even if it means I should tolerate a few of my own in there too. This is me settling Zoe down for the night...I know I am going to miss these days, I better enjoy them while I can--She is so cute.

Meet "Charly"

My mom brought Charly back from Germany when she went last year in March. He used to be her same size but as you can see, she holds him like he's her baby. She has a love hate relationship with her toys these days.

Meeting Charly, play nice- Oh Good Girl!!


Give him Huggs!!


Zoe: "Momm...Charly is teasing me!!"


Zoe: "I don't like you any more Charly!"


Passie's make it all better- life is ok again!!


She is so funny. You would think that she would like playing with toys... nope not Zoe, if she can't eat it, digest it or bite it... she's done with it. I can usually let her play with a toy for about 5 minutes max, then it's over. Do you think this phase will pass? Anyhow, thanks mom for Charly, I think when she's older she will learn to appreciate him more. He's so cute.
