Day at the mall

The employees at this store knows Zachariah pretty well. This store is one of his favorties besides GAP. You can see below why he likes the store.

It's almost like Zachariah and the model are staring at each other. The truth is in the second photo.



He's a big "FAN"atic -



Checking out the surf report for the west coast.




Autopark - now it's Max's favorite spot.

Steelers vs Bengals

I was invited to watch the Steelers at home this past week. The game was great, but it was very cold...

Here's some picts from the game.











In case you were wondering...Steelers won. Apparently, the Bengals were not used to the cold weather.

First Snow for 2008

We got our first flakes this past Sunday (11-16). We don't usually get dumped until after Thanksgiving. Looks like it's going to be a cold and long winter. What happened to Globabl Warming?

Here's a clip of snowflakes from Nov. 17th. The building in the video is where I work at...

2008 Hallow's Eve (Halloween)

2008 Hallow's Eve (Halloween)

Zachariah was Buzz Lightyear this year (costume was provided by the girls next door). Buzz was the first Disney character that was introduced to him due to his fascination with space and stars. He used to call the fireworks “Galaxy”…now he can spell it as well.



Max was the cookie monster...neighbors thought I was carrying a stack of old carpets. Max ended up sleeping in my arms through the walk.




Me and the boyz.




Cookie monster and sugar queen.


Ready for the mission: To Infinity and Beyond!


Zachariah got to carry his little lantern while I ended up carrying the bucket full of candies and the cookie monster. The bucket was quite heavy – some neighbors were giving away full 12 oz drinks…not very practical for kids to carry back home.




After few houses, several manholes, dozen sewer caps, and few storm drains; Zachariah said he was all done to head back.




Back at the fort, Zachariah helped out Suzanne handing out the candies. He was more interested in other kids were wearing.


Mom and the boyz laughing away…it’s the sugar rush kicking in.

Harrisburg trip

Here’s some picts from the indoor pool at Crowne Plaza, Harrisburg.
The pool was warm for the first few days…as you can see, Zachariah enjoys being in the water.


Max went in as well. He loved every minute of it.








These two could have stayed in the water for eternity.


Mesmerized by the light…






If he’s not in the water, he’s on the prowl to find the drains…don’t understand his obsession with drains, sewer caps, manholes,..etc.




Here’s how he says “CHEEEZZZZZZZZZZZE”..


The launch…







The only way to get Max to sleep was put on the mask.


Early morning picts of the Historic pedestrian bridge –








The other bridges on our way back home.

Trax Farm - Pumpkin Patch

Old Trax had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had a tractor, E-I-E-I-O
With a "zoom-zoom" here and a "zoom-zoom" there


Here a "zoom" there a "zoom"


Everywhere a "zoom-zoom"



This was the first time at a pumpkin patch for all of us…


We first started by taking our first hay ride…


Max enjoyed the little samples of the bugs..yum..yum..

It was very hot and crowded...


Suzanne and Zachariah seemed to enjoy the hay ride.


Old Trax had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had a goat and sheep, E-I-E-I-O

With a "baahhhh, baahhh" here and a "baahhh, bahhh" there


Old Trax had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had a maze, E-I-E-I-O





Me and the boys…we eventually found our way out.


Agriculture 101 for Zachariah…first time seeing a corn stalk


And on his farm he had a pumkin patch, E-I-E-I-O








Time to go….WAIT FOR ME! E-I-E-I-O






At the Market










“This is a good one”..


“Wait…that’s a better one”
