Summer 2004

Zach has been saying the funniest things lately. Last Saturday morning the gardener decided to show up after being MIA for 2 weeks at 7:15AM on a Satruday morning!!!! I was so mad, but he was gone by the time Jeff went out there. He did a really bad job and was gone in like 5 minutes. Anyway, I was saying how I wanted to call him and tell him that if he ever comes before 9am again he's fired! Zach heard this and for the rest of the day walked around telling Mikayla, "If you kiss me, you're fired!!" "Stop doing that or you're fired!!" On and on! It was cute enough not to bother her. The next day he found a calculator and kept saying, "...according to my calculations...it will rain today...it will rain for(crunches some numbers)...15 seconds, minutes, or hours." And he has grown 3 inches the past year, 49 inches last April to 52 inches this April. And he weighs 62lbs. now. Then friday night he and Mikayla got chopped steak for dinner and he decides to cut his with a steak knife. He held it just right and cut the whole thing by himself! I couldn't believe how grown up he looked doing that and how well he did it. He is such a blessing to our family and has brought us much laughter! He is growing way too fast, always has, but it is a joy to watch!
