Random Question

Sometimes, Zachary asks the most random questions in the most random situations. We were riding home from the mall the other day and out of the back seat comes this question: "Mommy, why are frogs the only animals with no tails?"

After about 5 minutes of supressed laughter, I still had no idea how to answer the question. I knew that as tadpoles frogs do have tails, but didn't want to get into a lengthy discussion with a 5 year old on the life cycle of a frog. Since then, I cannot for the life of me come up with a good answer for that question.

If you have a brilliant answer that would make sense to Zachary, please leave it in the comments below. It would be a life saver.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Despite the look of total excitement on his face, Zachary was tickled pink that both of his parents were able to attend his school's Sweetheart Breakfast this year. Unfortunately he didn't want his picture made. As soon as the camera disappeared his smile returned.

This is the best picture we could get from the breakfast. What a hoot!

Run the Reagan

Yesterday, Marty and Allison ran the 5k in the Run the Reagan race. We ran with a great group of friends: Lee & Kim Cox, Holt (almost) & Jennie Persinger and Dawn Jarvis. Looks like we have formed a new running club. All are welcome! We are all looking forward to running many more races together in the future. None of us cared anything about winning, just about having a good time. Thanks guys! See you at the next finish line.

Happy Birthday Marty-Moose

Marty is 33 today. Happy Birthday. We didn't have 33 candles in the house, but we did make a special trip to the Great American Cookie Company for the annual cookie cake. Some traditions are too good to give up.

Hope your day is special! We love you - Allison and Zachary

A Day at the Park

We finally had some beautiful weather today after lots of freezing weather lately. 67 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. In February!! That's why we love the south. We took FULL advantage. This afternoon we went to Duncan Creek Park to check out the playground. Zachary had a blast! A few pictures from our day...
