Zach's "School Bell"

Today Zach asked Todd if Challenger has a bell to let kids know when recess is over or school is out. Todd said, “Yeah, all schools have bells, Zach.” Zach then said, “Um, not mine. When I build a school I’m going to have a Barbie doll that comes out and sings 'Aahhh!!' to tell kids when school is out.” Netell and I used to think that Zach said things like that just to be funny, but we are more and more convinced that that is just the way he thinks—he lives in his own unique world.

Our feisty little monkey is growing up too fast! In every family member's photo session I do, she has to be a participant. It doesn't matter at all to her that her hair is undone, her face is a mess, and her clothes are mismatched!

Here comes the sun. . .

After living in blog darkness for so long, we've decided to add some energy to our virtual life. So, here's to our first, and hopefully not final attempt at blogging! We'll have a roundup of our last travels here shortly.
