New Blog and other news...

I have decided to start a new blog that is dedicated to Zack for the grandparents. I'll post as many pictures as I can on it, and post any new developments. That way my blog does not become, as my brother Matt would lovingly call, a "baby blog." Todd and I really do have a life outside Zack (not much of one, but still...) that I can write about, and I'll still post some things about Zack on here but not as much. And I'll put a password on the Zack blog so if you want in, just let me know. :)

In other news, Todd and I are thinking about doing an internship down in good ol' Arkansas. I know. Not exactly what we had in mind at first, but it actually sounds pretty good. My brother and his family would live about an hour away, my parents about four hours, and I'm not sure how far my other brother is, but I'll drive it anyway. I wouldn't mind spending two or so years down there, but I would like to be somewhere like Utah in the end. I just love Utah. And it would be nice to live by the Jackson's when they come home.

School is going great! It is so nice to have our friends back. We are the only ones with a baby in our little group of friends, so it's fair to say Zack is the community baby. My aerobic classes are going fine and I've pretty much lost all the baby weight. I just found that out yesterday so Todd and I went to eat at Big Juds and I topped the whole night off with icecream. Let's just say I have limited self control.

So since I haven't set up Zack's blog yet, I'll post a couple pictures. He is just so adorable I feel selfish keeping him all to myself. (Yes, I'm one of THOSE moms whose children can't do anything wrong...so sue me.) The first one Zack looks super chubby, but is shows off his cute smile so I had to post it. Then there is one of his first girlfriend, Michelle. :)

I don't think there is anything wrong with have Zack all over your blog! He is part of pretty much every part of your life now right?! He is so cute! Anyway...I want to be added to his blog.

Michelle said...

You will have to add me to Zacks blog! I want to see all the cute pics! I wish I could see him! Hopefully some day! I miss having you around!

Phil and Holly said...

See everyone wants to be added to the baby blog because we all really do want to see all the pics, so another blog is unnecessary.. But if you MUST, of course we want to be added to it!

Baby blog...Baby blog, we want a baby blog!!!! (and a password). Grow Zacky, grow! Smile, Zacky, smile! (some of us are Zack obsessed). And don't worry, we're not paying any attention to that quip about living in Utah. We know that once you come to the Southwest, you'll re-discover the true promised land (where real football is played, where 4th of July is celebrated properly--like by blowing your finger off--and where there is a Sonic on ever other corner).

Rach said...

Nicole said...
