Little Z is 2 Months

Z is two months today! He has pretty much double his birthweight, praise God.

Happy St Patricks day

it may may not look it but I have a wee bit O d Irish in me :-)

To celebrate this day we made Boxty quesadillas. Delicious with a pint of Guinness!!

Crucian Dad

We just love cereal!

We're not hoarders or stocking up for doomsday! We just love cereal and when we find a good deal on organic cereal we stock up.....

Love and support.....and FOOD

One of the many reasons we decided to stay in the area we are and buy a house was because of a really great network of friends we have. After Little Z was born we were overwhelmed, in a good way, love and support. Gifts and congratulations were abundant.

One of the things that helped the most is when one of our good friends coordinated meals for us. This was a real God sent because Mallu was really laid up due to the C-section and Crucian had his hands full trying to keep the house from becoming a disaster.

The web site she used was really cool

http://takethemameal.com/

It allows you to create a list of who is bringing what and when(this is also great so everyone doesn't bring the same type of casserole)
The website even emails you reminders.

We would really like to thank everyone who was so kind and generous. We are truly blessed!

Asleep in Her Carriage

GMAC was pretending the laundry basket was her carriage.
Before long she was asleep in her carriage!

Finally caught some smiles

Little z
has been smiling for about a week now, I was never prepared to catch his smile. Today I finally caught some on camera. He is so sweet we are really enjoying him.

Oh The Love

I asked GMAC "why do have to always touch him (Z), squeeze him and hug him?"

GMAC " I am just so fond of him."

These are the DROIDS you are looking for

We are very proud of the FTC Robotics team Inch has been part of since last school year. The team, called "The Droids", competed in the MD State Championship this last weakened and did an amazing job.

The team won the "FTC Think Award" for their engineering notebook and for documenting their journey this year. They also received third place for the State Inspire Award.

Unfortunately they didn't qualified for the World Championship in April but we are still so very proud of of them regardless!

They had wonderful mentors, really grateful for all their hard work,especially Mrs. H.

this is what the playing field looked like

The team all had matching R2D2 beanies...so did Little z

Little Z is a month old!

Welcome Little Z to the Church

The baptismal gown it the same one that I was baptized in...all of my children and nieces and nephews have also worn the same gown

We are so thankful to our generous and merciful Lord. A year ago this weekend we buried our little Tarcy, a year later we are blessed to have Lil Z Baptized. We truly feel so blessed not only for this precious life God has entrusted to us but also for all of our family and friends who who have been with us along the journey.

Z just kept staring at the Monsignor

We love Little Z's God Parents!

Sister Mary Servant of the Cross was there when our beautiful Tarcy was buried

And of course this day wouldn't be the same without family
