ZJ 10 Months Old Today!

Thursday, August 26, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

I thought it would be fun to post a clip from our home video of ZJ at one day old. We thought we lost this tape when we were robbed but I had one unmarked tape in my collection that I prayed was it. Last week I found a guy on craigslist who converted Tape to DVD for $20. You should have seen the look on my face when he put it in his VCR and hit play!

It is amazing to look back and see how much of his personality is still the same.

Still quiet and well behaved
Still smiles all the time with his little dimples
Still wiggles when you pick him up
Still has bright Red hair
Still looks like Mommy (although a few have claimed he is getting daddy traits)
Still makes my day

Uncle LP convinced us to submit ZJ to Ralph Lauren Employee Family Model contest. He is already a winner in my book!

ZJ is starting to stand up all the time and can’t be more then a week or two away from walking. Keeping the camera close by!

Coming up in September:

ZJ will be staying with the Hagins while Karen and I visit Grand Junction CO for Kevin & McKenzi’s wedding, This will be Kron’s longest period away from him and will miss him dearly.
Trip to Maryland for Karen’s 10 Year and Shauna and Jason’s wedding in MD.

To be continued

(I will get Karen to post more soon enough!)

ZJ’s Photo Shoot with Melissa Barrick!

Sunday, June 20, 2010 Posted in Photo Shoot

Karen, ZJ and I just completed a 9 hour car trip from Maryland to Charleston. It was much better driving back from then driving to Maryland as ZJ was not sick. I would rather have a cranky ZJ then a sick ZJ any day of the week!

After unloading the car I booted my computer to find this WONDERFUL SURPRISE waiting for us online! Melissa Barrick’s blog post of our photo shoot with her Friday June 11th (click link or any picture to see the full collection)

I said it before and I will say it again. Melissa is all pro! If you have an upcoming wedding or just want to catch the moment before or after pregnancy or an engagement Melissa should definitely be considered for the job. Every shot she takes is frameable!

Thank you so much Melissa!

It has been a while since I last posted and I do apologize to ZJ’s adoring fans! Multiple weddings going on + house hunting has kept my calendar filled. One thing I shared via Facebook but never posted here definitely deserves view. If you haven’t seen this yet you are in for a treat! Karen is playing with ZJ while I held him and filmed. Other then the occasional focus issues due to a dirty lens this video is an instant classic. Finally ZJ’s full laugh captured on film, snorting and all! Enjoy!
