The Bongo Dance

Hi Folks -

Last fall Zachary went to a 13 week class once a week called Kindermusik. While he enjoyed the class, they never seemed to get around to playing his favorite instrument, the drums. That is until the last week of class. Enjoy this video (from December) where Zachary finally got to play the drums. Apparently he has his own special dance that goes along with playing the bongo drums. Again, thanks to Donna for the video. Actually, we have many, many thanks that need to go out to Donna, her video/photography is just one of the many lovely things she does. All three of us are so lucky and blessed to have her take such wonderful care of our little boy and be such an awesome part of our family.

Be prepared to laugh!



Wasn't that precious? He is such an awesome kid! This week he started back at The Little Gym which he loves!

Love to all!

A beautiful day to be outside!

Hi folks!

Sorry about the long hiatus, but Zachary keeps us very busy! Last week Mommy's Uncle Howie and brother Paul came to visit and to attend a Halloween convention. Yes, Halloween! Zachary enjoyed their visit and loved waking them up...on his schedule, not theirs! ha ha.

It's been quite cold lately but yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful, crisp winter day! Thanks to Donna for taking these pictures so Mommy could play with Zachary and Uncle Howie!

Pneumonia

Hi folks -

Unfortunately over the past few months (since he started "pretty" school), Zachary has been sick almost every week. Usually with the help of Dr. Gray, we just keep on trucking, and Zachary gets better in a day or two.

This week poor Zachary has met his match. He's got pneumonia along with double ear infections. He's seen Dr. Gray twice this week and mommy and Dr. Gray are talking/texting daily. He is on steroid treatments, two different antibiotics and three separate puffers. Ugh, we really feel so bad and feel so helpless for our little guy. He coughs so hard and gets so hot, but per usual, he's being tough and fighting hard. Hopefully, he'll be feeling better in time to enjoy the plans we have for Christmas. If you would, we'd appreciate a little prayer for our sweet little boy!

We wish all of you a merry Christmas and hope you have a great new year.

Love to all!

Happy Hanukkah

For his BIG hanukkah gift, we got the boy his own set of drums. He loves them!

Love to all!

Happy Hanukkah!

On Friday night our Temple had its annual Hanuakkah party/musical service. Along with the music, the lighting of family menorahs (or chanukiot) we had lots of food including the traditional latkes and donuts. This year Stephen baked one of his fabulous cakes for the party. The cake was half chocloate with raspberry filling and half yellow with raspberry filling with his homemade buttercream icing. YUMMY! Here we are showing off his delicious cake at Temple.

Happy Hanukkah!

Love to all!
