Luny moon

As you may have heard on the news, we are having a total lunar eclipse tonight. So I decided to share our view of it. Can't see it? Well, it's eclipsed!!! You're not supposed to be able to see it!!! But if you enlarge the photo, you can almost make out the edge of it!! Whoo hoo!

Let's Party!

This past weekend, we attended Samantha's cousin's wedding in Austin.

The sunset was beautiful!

We stayed at a boutique hotel that overlooked Lake Travis.

Zachary showed of his moves on the dance floor. We had a lot of fun, and Zachary liked the faster music more than the slower stuff.

Martha, we are looking forward to seeing you in April! Zachary might be crawling by then.

I got skills

It seems that Z can convince everyone to carry him around. He's not shy when it comes to letting people know that he is happy.

Aunt Cristi came to SA for the weekend to celebrate Grandmother Pam's 60th Birthday. It was a surprise, and everyone had a great time. We were going to have a celebratory dinner at the Tower of the America's, but it didn't work out. Maybe we can make it there the next time we have guests in town.

I don't really have a favorite for the Superbowl, but I think that New England will win. My predition? - New England 38, New York 23.

Chuck Norris

We took this picture of Zachary and immediately thought "Unless I get fed right now, I will go Chuck Norris on your butt". Z has kept us quite busy. He has discovered the cats and dog, and loves to reach out and try to hit them. He grabs for both of his feet and rolls himself up into a ball trying to get his feet into his mouth. Of course we think everything he does is adorable!

My XMAS in 2 places

So, there are pictures from my first stop in San Antonio, TX with the family and of course baby Zachary! What a good looking family!! If you look closely enough at the next picture, Zachary has a wedgie!!! HAHA



Then, there are pictures in Salt Spring, Canada with Richard's brother Philip, sister-in-law Suzanne, and neice Gabrielle. It is such a great location with a great view and fun island life! We opened the XMAS poppers and of course they each have a crown that you have to wear during the day!

Merry Christmas!

Last night, we went to the Children's Mass for the first time, and it was so nice. Contrary to what you might think, Zachary was very well behaved. Here is our annual picture in front of the Christmas Tree...this time with a baby to boot!





Christmas morning brought Zachary lots of shiny packages to look at, and of course the lights on the Tree.

Unlike the Boone's, we will not be having a White Christmas this year. It's t-shirt weather.
We aren't having Naked Turkey today, but Prime Rib instead. We sure are thankful to have this blog to stay in touch and share pictures. Zachary had a wonderful first Christmas, thanks to his loving Aunts, Uncles, Mommy, Daddy, and Santa of course!

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

Just as Brandon predicted....it's snowing in Portland. Here are some views of the white stuff. First one is out of the bedroom window, then the back yard and the BBQ where you can't even read that it says Weber! They are saying we might get as much as 4" by the end of the day tomorrow. A real life White Christmas!!!
