Preview Of Coming Attractions


The other day I noticed how Eli had fallen asleep on the couch, and I imagine I might find him in this exact same position for many years to come. :)

Baby Ben...not so "Baby" anymore...






every once in a while I have to grab a moment in time because Ben is growing up so quickly before my eyes. As demanding as he can be, he is equally hilarious and affectionate. What a unique personality he has!

"Daddy, can we WRESTLE?!?"





One of the boy's favorite things to do is wrestle with daddy when he gets home from work. Daddy always willingly gets down in the floor and spends the next 20 or 30 minutes trying to defend himself against the onslaught. Ben is quickly learning the ins and outs of how to "attack daddy" too. :)

Dance Off B4 Bed

Just any Saturday night, coming up with reasons why not to go to bed...and tonight the credit goes too...The Black Eyed Peas. Mommy, Joshie, and Eli all got our groove on to a few dance tunes to finish up the fun family day at the Zimmerman house.

Night Time Sledding!





Tonight the boys went out for one last impromptu sledding adventure in the back yard before the cold winter rain comes to wash it all away. It is cracking me up bundling Ben up from head to toe so he can go out and experience all of this too for the 1st time!

Today we headed outside, first thing in the morning, to take advantage of the incredible fall weather we were given. All of us worked in the back yard on gathering up leaves, walnuts, and twigs that had fallen from the trees. Some went in to the trash, and most in to our back yard fire pit. We've already enjoyed several fires in the pit, and we only put it in about 3 or 4 weeks ago!

Back yard fun at Mimi and Papa's house


I know they'll forever have great memories of playing at Mimi and Papa's house, just like I do of my Grandma and Pop's...here's one example.

Yikes! Tough 1st day at the pool this year for Joshie...

Well, I guess the next "biggest thing" that's happened since Eli was born was Ben being born. :) Benjamin David Zimmerman was born July 3rd, 2008. NO, mama could not hold out until the 4th...I thought I was going to die as it was. I'm not cool with epidurals not working on me. Anyway, he's a screamer and still doesn't sleep through the night, but boy he sure is a cutie. He's now grabbing my face with his cubby little out of control hands and laying big wet open mouth kisses on me. Love that kid.

Poor, old, forgotten blog site

Well, I came across our blog site that I started back in '06 while we were living in Louisville. The point was to come up with something that would keep everyone up to date during my pregnancy with Eli, but obviously I failed miserably. I never really figured this blogging thing out, and still really don't know what I'm doing. However, I'm going to give it another shot. A way to pretend I'm organized, at least online if not in reality.

For all those who have been wondering how much they ended up looking alike, here is Joshua at 6 days old, just about the same age as Eli is in these pictures... Posted by Picasa
