6 years and having a ball


Birthdays are a big deal around our house. And while less hectic schedules have allowed for a little more planning in the past, we didn't let Zoe's sixth birthday go by without a proper celebration. It started with a trip to the park where Craig let her run her heart out. I then joined the three of them for dessert a little later. The cake was peanut butter, her favorite, and came from a local bakery. I never told the bakery anything about Zoe, but I guess the secret got out about her royal status.

We know Luka's birthday is sometime in February, too, but we don't have a date and we've decided to celebrate his big day on the day we adopted him (in May). Still, he wanted a piece of the birthday action. As usual, he had no problem helping himself.

So what do you get the girl who was practically born with a tennis ball in her mouth? A tennis ball, of course. But this one has a Shocker handle that's perfect for Luka to grab and take from her. After all, that's what little brothers are for.

Happy 6th Birthday, Zo Boogie! You are always the life of the party.

Many of you know what an incredible athlete Zoe is, so it was only appropriate that on her 6th birthday, as I was getting a little sad about her getting older, she made one of the most incredible catches I have ever seen. Basically I threw a long pop fly that she immediately got a beat on and on full sprint made a catch exactly like that over the head Willie Mays catch you see on all of those highlights.

She's amazing.
