1st Annual Heathens Bocce Tournament 2008

Last weekend we headed out to a Bocce Tournament organized by our friends Sue and Stu.  Even though the weather was less than perfect, it was a great weekend filled with friends, campfires, and of course lots of Bocce.  Well our team "The Scottish Frogs"did not have great Bocce skills so we did not win the championship.  We did, however, win a prize for being best dressed!  Even Zac had a t-shirt and kilt.  It was a very fun weekend indeed.

It was a great weekend.  A big thank you to Sue and Stu.  Can't wait till next year.

Happy Wednesday.

Lifting His Head

Don't have a lot of time to post this morning but I did want to share a few pictures of Zac starting to hold his head up.

 

Thought I would share a little of my everyday joy.

Happy Thursday.

He Did It!

It was touch and go for awhile there but it looks like my brother will graduate and this weekend we got to celebrate it.  It has been one of my biggest hopes for my brother to get his diploma and I was so thankful to be there to witness the event. 

My brother graduated in true Mitchell fashion with a white tux, black shirt and a lime green vest.  Of course he completed the outfit with Versace sunglasses and tie.  I have to admit though he did look good.

Some pictures from the weekend.

More pictures here.

Happy Tuesday.

So Excited!

 

I will find a way to make it to the theatre to see this one.  Anyone else a fan?  Marci...you with me?

Happy Thursday!

Devon Days!

 We had a chance to take in the festivities in and around our town this weekend.  Did not go on any rides of course but we did play a few games, won a few prizes and visited with a few friends.

Happy Monday

2 Months

It has been two months since Zachary came into this world and joined our family, the time has gone by very fast.  It feels like we are just coming out of the 6 week fog and it feels great.

We are...

adjusting to being new parents
enjoying watching our son grow and change
sleeping more
getting out more
thankful we have such an easy going baby (so far)

Zachary is smiling so much now and just this morning we were able to make him laugh a little.  What a wonderful 2 month present that was!
