and EARTH. yep. forgot about that one. Zach was out back yesterday, playing with one of the daycare kids, when they collided and fell. Zach's shoulder was introduced to the ground, and subsequently Zach was introduced to some of my co-workers in the Emergency Room and the Radiology Department.
Poor little bugger can't play football this year, which he has been waiting to play since last season. Ugh.

He is good. Better than that, actually, but i don't get to see him very often.

Intense

less than 30 seconds after pulling up to watch Zach's football practice, i was able to snap this photo of Bryce.

v-a-c-a-tion!!!

we went many places on our vacation this year, including Aunt Weeb's Fresh Air Poultry Farm, Baltimore, Annapolis, and Sandy Point State Park. Here, for now, is a picture of Zachary enjoying his birthday present from Uncle Colby and "Aunt" Boo... yep....TRAPEZE SCHOOL. check our their site at Baltimore Trapeze School

Wall Crawler

Zach and I recently took advantage of a dreary day to go to the wall (www.vermontrocks.com) and challenge the law of gravity.

6 Flag's New England

One of our family's traditions is going to 6 Flag's New England for Mike's Birthday. This year we were without Zach AND Bryce, which just left Tracey, Mike, Sara, and I. While it was unsettlingly odd not to have the little ones, it DID allow for Tracey and I to go on some rides. We went rafting in the waterpark, rafting out of the waterpark, and she rode the BATMAN roller coaster......pic included (no purchase necessary!)
