In a move that freaked Joe out quite a bit, Cole turned 13 on February 17th. While Joe is still trying to figure out how his first son could possibly be that old, we celebrated the milestone birthday that day with Grandma Pat and Papa Bob.
The highlight of the day was a surprise for Cole that had him laughing so hard he cried. You see, a few weeks earlier while we celebrated Z & A’s birthday, we asked Cole what kind of cake he wanted. He didn’t have much of an opinion, so a Barbie cake was suggested. Cole said yes, never dreaming we’d actually get one. He now knows that he must be careful about what he wishes for – he just might get it!
Check out the great pics in the “Cole Turns 13″ photo album.
On separate note, new pics have also been added to the Jan – Feb 2008 album, including a couple craft projects, fun at a local pool, and making brownies with Daddy.

I still can’t believe it, but on Jan 29, Zach and Alex turned 2! They did really well at their two-year check-up. They’re still skinny, of course – Zach almost made it on the charts at 23 lb, but is still in the 0 percentile, while Alex at a “beefy” 23 lb 10 oz is actually in the 6th percentile for the first time. For height, Zach was measured at 34″ (44th percentile) and Alex was measured at 34.5″ (60th percentile). The great news is, they are very healthy and are developing quite well. They were so excited to see the doctor, having seen some in books and TV, and went running down the hall looking for her: “Doctor! Doctor!”
For their birthday, we had a little celebration on the actual day with some special treats and some fun, but we really celebrated that weekend with the help of Cole, Grandma Pat and Papa Bob, opening presents and enjoying a special cake. Check out the pictures in the Z & A Birthday album.
There are also lots of new pictures in the Jan-Feb 2008 family album, including a peak at Cole after his band concert, a day at the Children’s Museum, and a glimpse at Zach and Alex as they play and explore.

It’s hard to believe we’re this far into the new year already to have enough pictures to start the 2008 Family album, but here we are.
The first batch of pictures include little glimpses at just how much Zach and Alex have grown in the last year. They are able to feed themselves with forks and spoons – and doing it quite well most of the time. They’ll sit down with a book on their own and look at all the pictures, naming the objects and colors they know (which grows by the day, it seems). And they love to do art projects – coloring, painting and more. It’s amazing how much they can do now!
Some favorite pictures, though, are from just a couple days ago where the boys were hanging out in their Halloween costumes, dressed as Pooh Bear and Eeyore. They loved wearing them and looked so darn cute! Particularly funny was the fact that Zach absolutely HAD to have the hood up – any time it slipped off, he came running to ask for help putting it back on.
