All in a day’s work

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Zeke has already established a good daily balance of work, play, and rest.

After breakfast, Zeke helps with the dishes…

Before lunch, he takes motorcycle lessons from his daddy…

In between naps, Zeke catches up on his reading…

And also periodically checks to see if Daddy’s chair tastes as yummy as it looks…

After dinner he sweeps the floor…

And makes sure he takes a 2 minute drink break…

Before bed, he inspects the oven drawer to make sure all of the pots and pans are out on the kitchen floor…

“Yep, all out now”

Then, to the great appreciation of his parents, Zeke sleeps through the night (usually) until his next big day filled with more work, play, and rest…

Zeke and his phones

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Zeke is really into phones, and when he doesn’t have a phone, he invents one.

the real phone

He’s so cute, he’ll put things by his ear and laugh and talk to them. He loves to talk to Grandma on the phone, but he gets so excited and pushes the buttons and hangs up on her!

Runt of the litter

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Well, it’s official, I am the shortest one in my family already. We went to my parents’ home last week and I noticed my youngest brother Carlin was getting tall. He’s 13, and I didn’t think he would pass me up so soon. Out of my 8 siblings, I will be the shortest from now on, which is ok :)
