Z at LACMA


Z's family according to him: "Elmo a little monster. Me little monster too. And Ezra monster. Daddy Monster. Zane Monster!"
Dad: "What kind of monster?"
Z: "Sweet Monster. Give you kisses."

"Me Do It on My Own!" Z appreciates the DIY cupcake decorating at Gemma's 4th Bday

Z and the EGG have been enjoying their new bikes now that Z can reach his pedals!

Z at Annie's school

Showing off his new Thomas underpants--he now only wears underpants, no more diapers (except when sleeping).

New quote: "Need help with my bottom!" (when he can't get his pants over his bottom. Of course, he figures this out quickly, but it's hilarious for about 2 weeks.)

Z's first barber shop cut. He is lured into the chair by a lollipop but settles in nicely.

Out at the farm for dinner (at noon)--we hear the traditional farm meal schedule: breakfast at dawn; coffee and light lunch at 9AM or so after chores; a big dinner at noon; coffee break at 3 or 4; supper at 6 or so; more chores; another snack/lunch around 8 or 9pm. This pretty much matches Zane's eating patterns.

Tractor ride with Dave.







Zane quote after the farm: "Cow have big bottom. Me have big bottom too. Me make big poop too."

Z loves dinner at Grandpa Ray's, lots of attention and there's always dessert.

It's freezing outside in Fargo Moorhead but its so hot inside that zane and ezra both took off their pj's and got a little more comfortable


With Great Grandpa Ray the next morning
New saying on the trip: "mama, dada, ezza, zane, family!"

Z loves taking care of the babies


Not so sure about fixing Willa's hair though

Even the lone cowboybanjoplayer needs to use the potty

Joshua Tree--the sun comes out after it snows briefly at noon

Zane and Ezra conversations go something like this:
EGG: "Zane, I'm going to make you grated pigs tails. No grated flowers."
Z: "Goody, Goody."


With Justin





Nearing dusk it gets cold again but where'd Zane go


Here he is with Matt and Moss

Hanging with friends and riding bikes at Annie's school

Z sings a song inspired by Doggie Ray and the cats:
"Me like cats, All day long
Me like dogs, All day long"
