Zach completely enjoyed every bite of the first homemade chocolate chip cookie I ever made for him. Here’s the recipe…….Best Chocolate Chip Cookies………..I made them for dessert for our visit to see darling little Lydia……..
……..but Zachary got a cookie fresh out of the oven for lunch……so…..here’s the little Cookie Monster………

Here is Zach’s version of a high five. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did……..
Happy Mother’s Day to ME! Mark and I moved the trellis. We are letting the back yard grow into a woods – it already looks so much different from this picture – it has grown very much already. We also planted a little garden on each side of the trellis and evergreens for the frontage of the little forest.
All the way in back you can see the forest I played in as a child. What fun we had back there.
Here is Corey with the roses he planted to grow up the trellis – thanks Corey!
Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Here’s Mom wearing the shawl I crocheted her for Mother’s Day. It is with one strand of Homespun and one strand of baby yarn – brown. The pattern is a crocheted feather and fan – very nice pattern.
Well, not really vroom vroom – I can’t go very fast in my truck unless somebody is pushing me, but hey, look, I got a truck and I’m only thirteen months old. Thanks Aunt Joanie and Uncle Frankie!!
Can you tell how much I love my truck???
It has a door…………
Beep beep!!!!
Get out of my way……….here I come world……….
I was looking at my feet trying to figure out how this works. Look at my load in back. Is this my future? Hauling yarn for Mommy? (Yes, Zachary, that is part of your future.)
Here’s Corey in Metropolis, Illinois – great pic Corey!!!!!
Everybody knows that Zach loves Mickey – he also has an affinity for Handy Manny and a few others, but nobody would guess what had him this enthralled………..
This is what he was watching………….
The Archie Show – 1968
It is has good music and dancing and he loved it.
