Visit

I abslolutely can't wait to get to Alaska to see you! I will take a whole 13 hours of travel any day to have a few days with the 3 of you. The videos and photos (and Skype) are all great but seeing you is going to be fabulous.

Can't wait! I arrive on June 13th some time.

I love you all!

All dressed up and no where to go!

Well Chris comes home EARLY Saturday morning! We're excited! I think Zach will be really happy to see him...probably not as happy as me though!!! :)

My uncle David will be here in less than a month! Mom and my aunts Kelly & Michelle will be here in less than two! I'll be starting school (again!) in less than three months...and Zach will be one year in less than four months!!! :)


Check out my handsome son all dressed up with no where to go!!!! It's like a baby Gap add or something. :)




Daddy is the most fun to play with!!!


Say what you must...that little Pooh thing is pretty cute...and also pretty annoying, haha!

My mom wanted him to have a lollipop...they didn't have any in the commissary so I got him sugar free twizzlers. He didn't seem to like them, but they were actually pretty good! He has also had meatloaf, fried chicken, meatballs and teriyaki stir fry w/ his little mesh thing. It is awesome. What would be MORE awesome is if he could eat real food. Anyday now, I hope!!!

Gardening

You did a lot for one day! I'm sure the plants and flowers will be very pretty. The brick looks nice by the hose, too.
What are the temperatures like now? It doesn't look like the grass is very green yet, so it must still be pretty cold at night.
I love spring flowers - I just don't have enough sun in my yard to have very many. It's hard to find anything much that blooms in the full shade after the initial spring flowers. I usually scrounge around some every spring, though. I've actually planted less this year than in a long time.
Zach is growing so fast. Some of his fussiness/clinginess might be because is growing so fast in other areas. Whether he realizes it or not, he might be feeling a little overwhelmed, so he tries to cling to the familiarity. Probably working on some new teeth, too; they are the bane of infancy, I swear!
Great to hear & see how you're doing.
Love, Aunt Karen
