We miss our Zeke so much! This is by far the longest we’ve ever been away from him. We chose to leave him home because we thought he wouldn’t have much fun staying in the hotel suite, and we knew it would be important to have one on one bonding time with Lillian.
A few times since we have been here, I have considered paying the $1,700 to fly him and an adult out. Then I come to my senses and realize he would be so bored in the hotel, and he is having lots of fun back at home with family. I don’t regret our decision to have him stay home, he is so happy every time I talk with him on the phone. This time with Lillian is so priceless, it’s neat to have Jimmy here all day too, and seeing him with Lillian warms my heart.
Thank you everyone who has been helping Zeke have a fun time, especially Mom and Shirley who have had him the most. I know he is a little high maintenance, and always on the go, and I appreciate your patience with him. I also know he is in good hands, and that you are treating him as kind and gentle as I would.
Thank you Grant for the pictures and videos, they have helped us so much! Below are some links to some of those videos, and pictures taken of Zeke at Grant and Shirley’s house.

In the above video link, you can see Zeke’s plan click in his eyes right at the beginning. He wants to do it so bad, and finally he hides his eyes, and slowly turns his hand around to accomplish his plan (:-)
I like this one of Kendall and Zeke. The teddy bear by Zeke’s leg is his special bear that he loves to sleep with.
Below is a link to another video. You will be able to see why I don’t play light sabers with Zeke, only Daddy does (:-)

I can’t wait to see Zeke with his baby sister! We think there will be some transitioning for him as he realizes he has to share being the center of mommy and daddy’s world, but we also think he will be a sweet big brother to Lillian. I’m so excited to watch their relationship grow!
How cute! He is so big! He’s going to love being a big brother!
I liked that light-saber video. He had those big boys running scared!!
he is such a great kid. I would miss my girls so much too. I dont blame you for feeling that way. jUst count down the days now.
We miss you too, Zeke…Jack is always asking about you. Hopefully we can hang out sometime before summer is gone (once we get back from Vegas, that is).
