Rockin' the Snow

This morning, while I worked on an editing deadline and H slept, A took the older girls to the sledding hill. The sledding hill did not disappoint!

Love Those In-Laws

Mama Z. and Pops, you are precious.

Jazzercise

The other day, I found M and E doing this in the living room. Very creative, ladies. And quite the inspiration to your mom. My favorite is M's directive at the very end. Oh, and I'm not quite sure why E is shirtless.

Wheeeeeeee

Fun times were had by the fam at a recent local festival. I'm sure stories will be told by the four- and two-year-old about this five-minute experience for ages to come.

Learning Curve

Recently E was given her first piece of chewing gum by (ahem) one of her parents. Her relationship with the gum was short and sweet as it is so very difficult for a two-year-old to grasp the concept of chewing but not swallowing, let alone chewing but not swallowing while walking. Bless her little heart.

Three Months Old

Miss H is already over three months old. Wasn't I just pregnant a few days ago...with our oldest child? I hope I get around to posting some photos of H and her two older sisters before they all graduate from high school. In the meantime, here's a recent favorite of the littlest Z babe.

These People Make Me Smile

I love this man.

I love these little people.

So glad this one joined the party recently. (Thanks, UB & AP, for the great bathrobe!)

Longs Peak

The ever-adventurous A had an opportunity recently to climb Longs Peak, which is a "fourteener" (a 14,000-foot mountain). It was a challenging summit, but he had a great time with his buddies. From the wife's perspective, I am SO glad I did not know how intense (read terrifying and life-threatening) this trip was until after A got home and showed me these photos and videos. What an incredible journey these guys experienced!

Just the Five of Us

Life's been moving along pretty smoothly since Little H joined us about six weeks ago. Here are some recent shots.

Hi, new baby.

M's hair before...

...and after the new cut!

E is so big!

Happy Little H

Hiker girl

Cute.

Playing at the children's museum

We love you, Garret & Aubrey! (I think E's hair says it best.)

It's a Girl!

We are so happy to share our news! Little Miss H joined our family this past Sunday evening, June 14. She was 6 pounds, 14 ounces and measured 20 inches long. It was an extremely quick labor and delivery, and we are so thankful to be holding her in our arms now. We trust that our little H will know the Lord as her refuge and help others to know Him as well because of who she is and how she lives her life. We pray that she will also stand on the truth of Jesus Christ.

We love our H and are excited to share her with you.
