Life these days

Wow, this first part of the year has flown by! We are doing great. We are getting settled in our new home. Its a work in progress. We had a nice little house warming party at the beginning of the year. I was busy hosting that I forgot to take pictures. But we got alot of nice and thoughtful housewarming gifts. Our former owners even gave us a little surprise.

We found this behind the shed. We were at a loss of words when we saw it.

One of the projects that we have been working on was getting blinds for our windows. We couldn't believe what a task it was. It seems like this would be an easy project but we had to get the right measurements and we decided to install them ourselves to save money. We learned that neither of us are handy. But in the end we got them up and they look good.

Our next project is the yard and hopefully I will be able to show some good pictures when we tackle that project in a couple of weeks. Other then that we have just been enjoying Zack! He is so much fun and is developing quite the personality. He loves making people laugh, is very social and has a blast throwing a ball back and forth. I would say he is a chip off the old block. Here are just some fun pics of him.

This is my new invention. The bottle holder. You can get some other this done while your baby gets fed. He stood for a little bit. It was so funny. I did feel bad because he kind of looks like a caged rat coming to get food from the bottle.

Here is Zack and Jeremy at the park.

Zack got a hold of some cookies I was eating and snuck them over to his play area. When I found him, he was covered with it. Of course he gave me a melting smile and I completely forgot what a mess he made on himself and my carpet.

We love this kid! He has been taking a few steps the last week. We are anxious to see if he starts fully walking soon. We will keep you posted.
