Potty Power

Having achieved potty success this morning, Mr. Zev poses proudly next to his pot in his Diego jockey shorts. Check him out!

Super Bad!!!: Part Deux

Some of you may remember an apochraphyl story from Joshua and Amanda about a strange-to-say-the-least tenent of an old apartment building in which they lived. Said tenant had a propensity for standing naked in the window. Hmm....

Zev's 2nd Birthday Party

The Deaners and friends had a jolly old time at Wilcox park to celebrate Zev's second birthday today. The cake was a dump truck--the gummy worms on top of the "dirt" was everyone's favorite part!

Check out Mr. Z in his big boy bed with sheets from Uncle and Auntie and JuJuBee and sporting his new lounging pants from the Chrenkas.

Family Vacation to Pentwater, MI

Hey all...
This past week, R, R, T, and Z had their first ever family vacation (not that seeing extended family is not a vacation, but you know what I mean). We journeyed to Pentwater, MI, on lovely (and cold) Lake Michigan. As you can see from the pictures, a grand time was had by all...the last two pictures show that Mr. Z definitely did not want to leave.
We'd love to return some time with some of our beloved relatives...

Children in Trees and at the Kent County Youth Fair
