The past few weeks have been jam packed with lots of things happening in Zach's world. We all went to Arizona to see Grandma and Grandpa, and had WAY too much fun in the pool. Zach has become quite the water hog, and was more than willing to tire himself out in the water each day.

A week ago Daddy had soe of the guys over and they installed new hardwood floors on the main floor of the house! Monday, Zach's new wheel chair arrived, and now he is motoring all over the house! We'll have some videos to post soon. He has taken to the new chair amazingly, and we are suprised by what new things he learns each day, all on his own! We had a fun and relaxing Independence Day weekend, and hope you all enjoyed it as well. We will post again soon - Love, Brian + Kimmie

Summer Fun

Getting really good at feeding himself
Doing some "jail time" with the laundry basket
Loving Play Time
Memorial Day Picnic with Mommy
The Family on Memorial Day
Goofing on the Couch
What a Handsome Little Boy

Zachary has had a very enjoyable past few weeks. We had our share of hamburgers and hot dogs over Memorial Day weekend at a couple of barbecues, and Zachary has been loving his time at home now that Mommy is out of school for the summer. The weather has been warm and dry (until this weekend!) and Zachary loves to take his daily walk to the park and check out all the airplanes flying over the neighborhood. We had a great time at the Taste of Louisville last weekend, and played with Ilaria for the day on Monday. His vocabulary is quickly expanding, with new words entering the fray each day (his new favorite is b-b-bus). Zach started his weekly music class and his 1st swim lesson this week, and is filling up the calendar with play dates as well. We are headed to Arizona next weekend to visit Mommy's family, and get some more pool time in, this time outdoors! We hope summer is treating everyone kindly thus far, and we will post some more pictures and videos soon. Love, and God Bless - Brian + Kimmie

Walk N Roll Success

Excited for bannanas and bread!

Last Sunday was a huge success! We had a great time at the Walk N Roll, and it was good to meet other kids with SB and their families. A very BIG THANK YOU to everyone who so generously donated on Zach's behalf. We set a very modest goal due to our signing up so late, but we easily surpassed the goal, and are very thankful for that. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the 5K walk, and Zach enjoyed the first mile or so before falling asleep for his nap.

We also had the opportunity to meet up with the Diffee family as well. They are the family that we have been following (and more recently meeting) who have a daughter Alex with SB. She and Zach had a good time playing on the swingset at Washington Park and it was great to learn that Alex's supporters pushed her team into the top 3 fundraisers at the event.

We had a busy day Sunday with the Walk N Roll and Mother's Day. Mommy had fun spending the day with Zachary, and we all spent a little time on Pearl Street in the afternoon and dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (Mommy's Favorite) that evening.

Zach has been doing great. His therapy sessions on Wednesdays seem to be going better and better. He has a new front tooth on the bottom of his mouth, and the four points of his first molar are just beginning to break through the skin on the botom left. He seems to feel as though all of his teeth are already in because he has been much more daring with his food consumption lately, wanting to bite and chew whatever he can.

Mommy only has two weeks of school left, and if this crazy Colorado weather finally changes over from winter to spring, maybe summer can soon begin. Enjoy the pictures, and Thank You Again to all who supported us at the Walk N Roll. Love, - Brian + Kimmie
