PIckin' up chicks....

Cam has been dreaming of a backyard chicken coop for a while now, and now it's becoming a reality. He's almost done working on their coop and he and Zanna even went and picked up chicks. As Cam says, "babies are always good for picking up chicks." Please ignore my lovely bedhead in the photo and focus on the adorable chirping chick I'm holding. Cam has named the chicks Nugget, Popeye, Colonel and Extra Crispy.
Zanna absolutely adores the chicks and has a hilarious baby sign that she does when she talks about them... flapping her wings in the air. Pretty soon ya'll can come over and get fresh eggs from our backyard chickens!

First Kiss....

Our friends, the Ukropinas, came to visit at the beginning of February. Eric loved giving Zanna kisses....
Aunt Marta wanted to practice carrying two babies around...
Come back and visit soon Ukropinas! Zanna's ready for more Eric kisses!

Cowgirl in training!

Our wonderful friend Dan Barbero made Zanna this beautiful wooden rocking horse for her first birthday and she LOVES it. She loves to play with his hair, and she loves to ride the horse like a cowgirl! Thank you, Dan!

Garden gal

It's a gorgeous Saturday, so we spent time outside while Daddy worked in the garden. Zanna loved exploring the dirt by the brussell sprouts, which are as big as she is :) Good thing she had her water to keep her hydrated- it was warm out there! And, thanks to Aunt Marta for the fun garden gal outfit! :)
