Life has sure been busy for us! I'll do my best to catch you all up in this blog post. At the end of February Zachary visited our local library for the very first time. We went to check out the children's programs. And, to our delight there are quite a few weekly story time options at various library locations. Since our first visit we have been to a few & Zachary has a blast! During our first visit to the library, I couldn't help but take a few iphone pictures of Zachary choosing books to bring back to Mommy to read...

 

I was surprised to find that the library has a handful of dedicated computers for little ones to play games on. Zachary LOVES spending time with the ELMO software and a mouse and keyboard that Mommy doesn't mind him playing with!! I had a hard time getting him to leave the library...but, I encouraged him by suggesting he "drive us home" ...

he felt brave, and sat behind the wheel to pretend to drive Mommy around town. He was so cute!! Though it made me realize one day he certainly will be old enough to be doing just that! And, I couldn't help but get a little choked up at how fast time has already gone by, our little boy is growing up way too fast and we need to do our best to cherish each and every moment.

During the recent Super Tuesday, we took Zachary with us to vote. And, he was pleased to receive a special "I voted" sticker too! We are sure he didn't understand what was going on, but it was important for us to demonstrate one of the fundamental privileges we have in this GREAT country of ours!

Zachary's 2nd haircut was done in our living room! My great friend Monica, came over to do a much needed trim on Zachary (between scrap booking with me). I requested for her to just cut it as short as she could. I was less concerned about style this time :) and more concerned about just getting the cut to last as long as possible. We turned on his new favorite tv show (Umi Zoomi) and she managed to age him 12+ years! LOL, the short haircut made him look like a teenager.

My sister hosted a Mardi Gras party for our family. We had a wonderful day! I had created some St. Patty's Day photo props and "forced" a few members of the family to allow me to document the moment with my camera. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the day...

And, my Father was the lucky one who found the baby in the his slice of king cake.

during a recent trip to our local Hobby Lobby craft store, I came across this spring flower hat. I am positive there will be a day when requesting such pictures from Zachary will be met with much resistance. But, for now I managed to get my way.

We've been "suffering" through some very warm weather. It has left us wondering what happened to winter and where is our traditionally 70 degree spring weather? We are in full swing of the yellow cast days of pollen & allergy season. And, we are keeping our fingers crossed that Zachary manages to skip the allergy season that most Southerners experience.

That's all for now. Thank you for making it through this very long post!
