Catching up! (longest post ever)

Hello all,
Things have been busy around here lately. I'll try and run things chronologically to get ya'll up to speed. The first major event was Halloween. You have all seen Zoeys costume but you haven't seen our sweet jack o' lantern or how the sweet smelling lady dressed. Here you go.


Rumor has it that there was a popo ghost on the loose that night. The beard did his best to catch "proof" just like Jay and Grant do every Wednesday night. This is what he caught.




The next major event was when the sweet smelling lady turned the big 30. The beard stopped by Coldstones on the way home and picked her up a Cookie Dough ice cream cake. She was kind enough to share after the picture.



Her birthday was a big success. A few days after that we loaded up the car and set out for the O.C. I love a good trip to the spoil me rottens house. I didn't even throw up on the way down this time. (It didn't to to well though so they got me doggy Dramamine for the next time) When we arrived the grandparents immediately snatched up Z.




Grandma taught her how to play the piano.




After much hullaballoo in the kitchen the feast was ready. Popo heard the word "TURKEY" and suddenly sprang to life!




We ate a delicious feast and I settled back into a comfortable position like any ALPHA MALE worth his grits on Thanksgiving does. A couple notches larger in the ol' belt region.




Soon everyone came over and sat down to rest after the tremendous meal. Popo almost got sat on.



I settled in next to popo and grandpa for a nice rest.




The day after Thanksgiving the beard took the sweet smelling lady and Aunt C to hit some outstanding sales. They came home with this "I can climb Mt Everest and Still look fabulous" warm jacket that C bought for Z.




Lastly there has been quite a bit of development on the Z front! She can sit on her own. (pay no attention to the spooky eyes behind her that's just me giving the beard the crazy gaze)



Since she can sit up she's now eating in a high chair!




She's learning to be nice and pet us dogs gently. (without pulling on my ears) Here she is practicing on popo.

I'm making him take the brunt of it then when she is good at it I'll sneak in for the love.

She is also learning TO FLY!!!!!!!!












Lastly, since Christmas is coming up, her east coast spoiling representatives got her a super fun bouncer contraption which she has put to good use and made a video of. I call it "Bouncing Z while Momma Makes Monkey Sounds"

That's all for now. Till next time remember...

Bostons especially like hard rubber super strong toys wrapped up and put under the tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
