February 20th
Tonight was exciting at our house. Right before bed Zach told me he thought he had something stuck in his ear. I looked with a flashlight and deep inside I saw purple. As he tells it, Zach was sitting with "the weird kid" at after-school care and decided to try to out-weird him. He stuck some colored pencil lead in his ear and was surprised when it didn't come right out. He didn't want to tell anyone because he was too embarrassed. Chris and I tried everything we could think of for about 30 minutes before we called the doctor. He said to try to get Zach to sneeze. I put pepper in his nose and tickled his nostrils...nothing. Finally I got the bright idea to put a cup full of water up to his ear and roll his head side to side. Eventually the pencil tip came out in the cup. I think Zach learned a valuable lesson that night!

Today I got to go to Zach's school to volunteer at the Valentine's Day party. They all had so much fun playing games & giving each other treats. My boy, always the entertainer.

There has never been a day when I have not been proud of you, I said to my son, though some days I'm louder about other stuff so it's easy to miss that. Brian Andreas

January 26th - Dinner
To celebrate Zach's birthday, we had dinner at Tokyo Steak House in Ankeny. Chris and I had been there once and noticed they celebrate birthdays in a fun way so we knew Zach would love it. We had the hibachi dinner which they cook right in front of you which is always fun. After the meal they played birthday music, had strobe lights, and brought out the mask for Zach to wear. He had a great time! We ended the night by looking at pictures from Zach's first year. Chris & I adore that little boy!
January 26th
Today Zach turned 6! When he woke up we let him open 1 present which was a Nike jersey he wore all day. Chris took the day off and had lunch with him at school. We both picked him up at 3 and he got to open more presents before we headed to the Blank NICU to drop-off cookies for the nurses. I cannot believe how time flies.
January 25th - Palmer dinner
We had Palmer Sunday dinner tonight. We brought a cake to celebrate our little man turning 6. Tony gave Z a Cyclone & a Jayhawk hat for his birthday and those two are always happy to pose for a picture together.

For Christmas, Zach made Bailey a special stuffed Santa at Build-a-Bear named Luke Kangaroo. When you squeeze it's hand, it plays Zach saying "Merry Christmas Bailey, I love you!" When we were there, he REALLY wanted a stuffed dog for himself. I promised him he could make one for his birthday so today, to kick-off the birthday celebrations, we headed to Build-a-Bear and Zach made Jack Tiger. I am not sure how he comes up with these names but he is very happy with Jack.

Love these two and the way she is always watching him. He gets the biggest smiles and laughs from her out of everyone. She is one lucky little girl to have him.
