Puppy Love

Zach has this puppy blanket toy that he absolutely loves. When he has it he likes to wrestle with him, chew his ear and then cover his face with him while in his carseat and take a nap. It's so stinking cute and he always gets this big smile on his face when he gets to play with him.

Zach Being Baptized

The kids blessing the water with Kenny

Overall he did really good. He was super hungry but AJ was able to keep him calm.

Pictures from Baptism

Our handsome boy! Zach wore the same baptism outfit that his dad, uncle and cousin (also Godfather) wore.

The Kids

Finally a picture of all three kiddos together.

Raegan Loses Her First Tooth

Raegan has lost her first tooth! She has been working on it for the last month or so and it finally came out. AJ had to do a little pulling but it came out without much effort. Unfortunately, she is just like her Momma and she didn't like the site of all the blood and ended up fainting. We will let her do the rest of her teeth and are hoping this will cause less commotion. I tried telling AJ to leave it alone but he was just as antsy as she was. I think he'll think twice before pulling another tooth. HA!!

This weekend we went to the apple orchard with my family while visiting Toledo. The kids had a blast riding ponies, rolling down the big grass hill and eating LOTS of goodies.

AJ Gets a Buck

AJ finally got himself a deer. He has been "preparing" for bow season for the last two months. I'm very glad all his work has been rewarded.

Country Living

I will be the first to admit that there are some things that I miss about living in the city or suburbs, but when I am able to see this sunrise out of my living room window it makes me appreciate the fact that I (and my kids) are not surrounded by buildings and cement. There is something about the openness of the country that I rarely take for granted.

Patty Cake Patty Cake

Zach loves when his sisters play patty cake with him. He just smiles and coos through the whole song!

Zach is 8 Weeks Old

Zach has turned 8 weeks old! It's crazy to think its already been two months since we had him and we couldn't imagine our family without him in it. He's such a sweet, smiley, funny guy. He's always doing funny faces and "cooing" to us. Unfortunately, he's had some trouble with eating lately. Seems he has a really sensitive stomach and can't eat if he has any air or gas in his belly. It's been tough figuring out how to make him happy and painfree but we seem to be on the upside of this little problem. Overall, he's a joy to have around and it's so fun to see him do new things every week. We really are blessed to have him.
