We are absolutley in love with this little angel!

Update!

I thought I would do a quick post about what has been happening around here since I don't think I will have much free time after this little girl joins our family.  We have been pretty busy with school and getting ready for baby sister to arrive. We have over 2 weeks left until she is due and we are getting really excited and anxious to meet this sweet bundle of joy!

My cute little Zeke on Valentine's Day!

Zeke is really into posing for the camera lately.

 Zeke is loving school! He has so much fun and has so much to tell me when I pick him up from school.  Each week they talk about something new and one week they talked about "helpers" in the community like police officers.  A police officer came to school and the kids got to sit in his car and listen to the sirens.  They got to try on a vest and see the police officers badge and handcuffs. They made stop signs and practiced stop and go outside and learned how to use the crosswalk!

 Another week at school they talked about Jack and Jill and acted it out with pails and rolled down the hill.  The first day I asked Zeke about it he told me that Jack and Jill rolled and he then continued to tell me, "No Zekey roll, Zekey run!" His teacher told me he did not want to roll and he did not want to be Jack.  After they substituted Zeke's name and other class members names for Jack and Jill he was more willing to roll and participate. 

They talked about Doctor's one week and made Dr. bags with band aids and cute thermometer's out of Popsicle sticks and other fun Dr. stuff. Zeke had a lot of fun being Dr. Zeke and taking care of mommy and daddy!

Today for St. Patrick's Day when Zeke got to school a leprechaun had been to his classroom and messed up the room and left gold treats for them.  Zeke thought it was so funny that the Leprechaun left a mess and put the chairs upside down. In the mornings when they get to school they talk about how they are feeling that day and today his teacher told me that when he got to school Zeke said, "Zeke excited, St. Patrick's Day!"

Zeke has learned so much from school and I am so grateful for his wonderful teacher and school. I know that I couldn't teach him half of what they have taught him in the past month and a half!

The last few pictures are of Zeke and Brandon sledding after one of our snow storms! Brandon decided to make a little hill down our front flower bed and lawn since Zeke had never really been sledding. Zeke had so much fun!
