Post Christmas

Wow...where to begin? It has been a hectic 2 weeks to say the least. It has come and gone, Christmas #1 has passed and boy was it crazy. Let's see how it went, Thursday December 18, Koda tore open his paw and needed 3 stitches, let the holiday fun begin. From there things progressed to worse, we got about 10 inches of snow on 12/19 and it stuck around long enough to make it a white Christmas. On the 19th he also had his first Jump-a-roo experiences (See video). December 24 we went to Ami's mom and dad (Gigi and Babcha, polish for grandma and grandpa) and made out like bandits, or at least little man did. Mom got clothes and dad got some new snow skis while little Zachary got tons of toys, Uncle Jarrett got him some musical keys, Aunt Dee and Justin got him a Moose for his car seat and just general play, and Cousin Aiden, Aunt Autumn and Uncle Ryan got him some bath toys, an outfit and a couple of other things that I can't remember right now. It's a drain trying to remember his haul. December 25 we were at grandma and grandpa Kipf's for Christmas day. There little man made out like a bandit too. Uncle Adam got him a build-a-bear Husky (ironic I know) made out to be a Red Wing named Champ...it's cute and uncle John got him a #1 Michigan Jersey to wear to track meats and some socks, let's just hope next football season goes a lot better and he can be proud of wearing the number 1. On the 26th, we went to the Peplinski Family Christmas where little Zach finally met all his 2nd cousins and great aunts and uncles on Ami's side (The day before he did it on Matt's side). We got another toy, and a picture of his 2nd cousins, the Shusteks. We also got a recipie for home made baby wipes which we are going to try out, supposedly the prevent diaper rash! The 27th was mom and dad's 5th wedding anniversary, holy cow, 5 years already! At least 45 more to go!!! They went to see Wicked the Musical at the Detroit Opera House with "Uncle Rob and Aunt Leah Jones"...it was a great show. From there we have been recovering slowly! Yesterday Koda had his stitches pulled and is now back to his old self, which makes Meg really happy. Oh yeah...yesterday, we were dogless (they escaped for the 1st and last time) for about an hour. It was very distracting. A special thank you goes out to Amber and Sam Maxwell, some friends of ours, who came and helped look for and actually found both our dogs, unharmed. They, the dogs, decided to take themselves for the "usual walk" route and that's how they got found! Well anyway, back to cleaning for now. Enjoy picture of Santa Zach! Happy New Year to all!!!
