Zach, Julia, and Poppi went to the Mall of Georgia today for Zach's weekly Gymboree session. Below are 2 videos of Zach and Poppi's adventures on the MOG carousel afterward.

Recently my Father Glen, handed over a CD of some of his recent pictures. Here is a sampling of the adventures of Zachary as seen from the lens of his Grand Father Bop-bop's camera.

We have been so lax in posting new pictures on our blog! We apologize for those of you who may be checking in just to be disappointed in no new news. However, we have been very busy and today we can't wait to share! A few weeks ago Zachary turned 2! It was an exciting celebration, the entire family got into the festive spirit! The men decorated during Zachary's nap time.

The theme was -surprise, surprise-- ELMO! Zachary was decked out in his Elmo attire for his party.
My sister created the birthday banner (at the top of this post) & the invitation. She did such a fabulous job! She just blows me away with her talent! Thank you Camie!! I plan on keeping the banner for future birthdays and just changing out the age and the Elmo figurine with what ever character is the "IT" of the year.

Matt wrote a rhyme for the inside of the invitation:
There is a little boy named Zach
Who has a party to pack.
He fell under the spell-mo
of a creature called "ELMO"
And he and the red guy
invite you to come by
to pass along your birthday best!

I did my best to create a ELMO cake. I was very pleased to hear Zachary yell out "MELMO" when he first saw his birthday cake. Here's a picture of the cake AFTER Zachary had his hands in it.

To my surprise Zachary did not want to get too involved in the Elmo cake. He didn't want to get dirty! And, he wouldn't start eating until he had a fork in hand. He did get a little messy...I was waiting for a messy picture to commemorate his first birthday at home.

Happy Birthday our adorable son!!

Two new videos of our boy Zach. The first one shows us his burgeoning multi-tasking abilities:




The second one shows him getting his dance on:
