walking
I keep this blog with the help of my husband. It chronicals our adventures, whether its living in the far north, parenthood, keeping up with our small city homestead or just trying to make a tasty meal.
on the road
Our road trip is underway. On Monday we visited the Omaha Zoo. Zelda enjoyed the warm temps, animals & strolling around.
The past two days we've been visiting my sister & her family. Zelda really enjoys playing with her cousin. She also went on a swing for the first time and got in a bit of swimming.
We are headed back on the road today through the small towns of northern Iowa.
it's no substitute
but we know Zach will miss Zelda like crazy when we hit the road this weekend for a 10 day girls' road trip so we are leaving him this huggable reminder of her behind. We even made it small enough that he can sneak it into his suitcase when he goes on his business trip while we are gone.
the gov. has no sense of style
The passport photo we took for Zelda was rejected because Zelda had a barrette in her hair. Ridiculous! The photo we ended up with is the epitome of a government issued photo id - flash and no smile. At least she was wearing a cute top when we went to submit her application.
passport photos
Zelda is applying for her first passport so she can expand her adventures to international locations. We decided to take the photo at home. Originally Zelda was in this cute white onesie with the blue butterfly and baby piggies in her hair. I decided today that it seemed to boring for our colorful little girl, so I retook the photo with her in a more colorful outfit. Either picture certainly conveys Zelda's enthusiasm and joy to be entering whatever country she may visit.

doing hair
It took four toys, my slipper, two combs, a teething biscuit and 40 minutes, but we managed to moisturize, detangle, section & then put Zelda's hair into 6 mini ponytails. She was really good, but by the end tired and ready for a nap. My parting still needs some work, but trust me, it's getting better.
blah blogging
For now I'll leave you with a picture of Zelda meeting our chickens for the first time. I was impressed with how gentle she was. I guess the practice she has had with petting the dogs has paid off.

so it begins...
We will keep plugging away at projects this weekend and we may head to Hatchers Pass tomorrow morning to sneak in one last ski outing.
Have a wonderful weekend!

side sleeper
Zelda has taken to sleeping on her side. She's also rocking a lot from side to side and almost rolling over when she is laying on her back. She's also starting to scoot around on her back and gets her whole tummy off the floor during tummy time. We think it's just a matter of days before she's fully on the move.
