Zemo in action (Philadelphia, PA)

Zachariah's swimming lesson came a little early. You can say that it all started with his "first dunk".
Of course a little time in the Big Island helped him to build his confidence.
He learned to appreciate the pool at 10 months old.



After some time in the pool, he transitioned to the ocean.


This past weekend, Zachariah made a huge leap in perfecting his form. I'm not sure how he learned it, but I wished we would have brought the floaties. Here's few picts of Zemo making splash in the indoor pool in Phily.












Yes, the little champ ran up the steps at Philadelphia Museum of Art and ate his first cheese steak from Jim's Steak (www.jimssteaks.com).

2008 beginnings

As we say goodbye to 2007, our oldest started this year by claiming his throne in our house. Zachariah is now ready to be a big boy and the older brother. He started this year by eating on his own and sleeping on his bunk bed.








Here's a pict of Isabelle and Zachariah by the nativity set on New Year's mass...isn't she cute???


He also helped out dad with some shoveling...well, for a second or so...you can say his interest was more in exploring and sledding.


Here's a pict from last year...


This year, Zachariah went sledding down the driveway.

As for our youngest, Max began the year with his vigorous workout with the ball.


Here's a pict of Zachariah and dad making new trails across the "fresh powder"...
