My Lil’ Preschool Boy!

This picture makes me smile. He loves to learn!  After we learned about China on a map and played with pandas, he wanted to do a page like the “big kids”.  So I copied one especially for Zach.  You can see how intent he is on doing this page.

He loves to play the fish game.

I love my little Valentine. I am so thankful that I get to teach him some days at school.  He comes 2-3 days a week, and he has learned so much already.

More Snow 2011

I enjoyed my snow day with my little man.  I wish sometimes that he would have a brother or sister with which to play.  I wasn’t looking forward to getting out in the cold and playing.  However, it was a rewarding time together.  It was time well spent. 

Mom, I want an Ice cream!

Often, Zach asks me to buy him an ice cream after school.  I told him that he would have to use his money for one.  So, the next morning I heard him gathering money out of our “junk drawer”.  He even wanted to order it himself…..and a book too.

Our Little Snow!

winter 2011 033 winter 2011 038 winter 2011 031

We recently had a little snow…..well ice.  Zach wanted to play in it right before we went to the store.  I let him go out for a few minutes and snapped a few pictures.

Zach and his daddy built a snowman the day before.  He told his dad, “Dad, he wooks just like you.”  Joel looks like a snowman?   Mmmmmm.

From this…to this!

winter 2011 022 For some reason, this year I enjoyed my Christmas decor rather than getting in a hurry to get things down.  I’m still in the process of getting my house redecorated.  I’ve got my mind on so many new things I want!

Lil’ Firefighter’s Tree!

Christmas 2010 049 

I haven’t started taking down Christmas decor inside yet.  I’m thinking I’ll enjoy it until the weekend.  I took  the yard decor down this afternoon.  Joel came home early and finished taking down the icicles and porch garlands.  Although I didn’t want to take it down, I feel good that it’s done.

My painting!

Christmas 2010 028

One of my greatest blessings is this little guy that was given to me a few years ago.  He brings so much joy to my life every day!  I am so thankful God chose me to be his mommy.  I look forward to spending a great 2011 with him. 

“Mom take a picture of my painting.”  So here goes.  He was fixing lots of envelopes for his daddy.  I’m not quite sure if they were delivered or not.  They do say it’s the thought that counts.
