Guitar Hero III

Oh my gosh, why hasn't anyone told me about Guitar Hero??? I mean I had heard of it before, but I hadn't HEARD of it. I mean no one told me how so freakin fun it is. I think I have a serious addiction. Zach got it for his birthday and well, let's just say that I have logged many more hours than him so far. If you haven't played it, you must find someone with it and beg to play it or come over to my house and play. So fun.

Update: This is sad, very sad. 2 days into getting Guitar Hero (I mean, Zach getting Guitar Hero), I have beat the entire game on "easy". I guess it's onto medium now. But I am so sad there will be no new songs :-(

Growing up

Today he asked "When do nipples grow big?" Oh man, these sort of questions are happening way too soon for me...

A big girl!

Yep, it's true, Zoe is officially a big girl now. She moved into her big girl bed last week. The crib is packed away in the basement. This is a first in our family. I have always had to move a kid out of their crib because we had another one on the way that would need it very soon. Putting the crib away is sort of a weird feeling...like closing the chapter of our lives that included babies. It's not a sad chapter though. I am excited about what lies ahead for my "big" kids.

I have a 7 year old....

I'm not sure what happened, but now I have a 7 year old. I really can't believe it. That sounds so old to me. We let Zach have a "friend party" this year and he chose bowling. The kids had a blast. We could barely tear them away from bowling to eat cake and ice cream. Zoe spent the whole 2 hours trying to eat as many chips and slices of cake and drink as many cups of pink lemonade that she could.

From the mouths of babes

So today I forgot something, which is not unusual for me. In fact, now I can't even remember what it is that I orginally forgot. What I forgot is not important. So, after I forgot whatever I forgot today, I said, out loud in front of Ben and Zoe..."Why am I so forgetful?". I was not really looking for an answer, but Ben had one "Because God made you that way.". I guess I need to have a heart to heart with God to discuss how He created me and see if he could boost my brain power a bit in the forgetfulness department.

Entering the blog world...

That's right, just like millions of folks around the world, I too have joined the blogging world. For various technical reasons we had to take down our zoetransport website. So, here I am regrouping over here at blogger. This will be a lot easier to use and therfore, I hope to post more often. Plus, this was a good chance to move away from zoetransport because the transporting part is long over as Zoe has been a part of our family for close to 2 years. Time flies.

This pic of Zoe was taken on November 10th. That was Zoe's 2 year referral anniversary. November 10th is the anniversary of the day that we first saw a picture of our beautiful Zoe. Each year on that date we take a picture of Zoe holding her referral photo. No baby anymore.
