zach's first haircut

my little boy is growing up so fast!! :(

daddy and granddad took him to get to get his very first haircut with jimmy the barber. it just so happens that granddad has been going to jimmy now for almost forty years (having never gone to anyone else!) and daddy had his very first haircut with jimmy as well! we had to keep with lawless men tradition!!

the z's turn one!!!

zachary and zoe turned one on january 10th and we celebrated by having a monkey themed birthday party at their grandparents house! it was a beautiful day (although a tad chilly) and we had a great turnout! thanks to all of our (zach and zoe's) wonderful friends (and family) for coming out to celebrate with us!!

merry christmas!!

we ventured up to toronto for a week over christmas to visit my brother and stay with my brother's family. it was the babies first flight and the way up was much better than the way back. unfortunately, two lap babies are not allowed in the same row due to limited oxygen masks, so we had to sit separately on the flights. it was a toss up who would be the better baby, but i ended up with zoe and daddy with zach. zoe slept most of the way up, so it wasn't half bad. according to jason, zachary ate puffs out the wazoo, but he was just happy it kept him quiet! Because of the terrorist attach over christmas, coming home was a nightmare! we had to get to the airport that much earlier and with all the additional security, it was about a ten hour journey for the babies...LONG DAY!!!

we had a nice, relaxing and relatively lazy time up north. the weather was less than ideal, so we stayed indoors for the most part and played with cousin noah. it was unfortnate because we had plans to visit keri and amber in london, but had to cancel because of a snowstorm! :(

happy halloween!!

our very first halloween was spent celebrating our good friend cate's first birthday!! zach was a frog and zoe a ladybug. neither was terribly fond of their costumes, but to be honest, i'm not sure i would have been either!

ladybugs zoe and leighton!
