Taking cues from Ferris Bueller

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."  Ferris Bueller

This line has been rattling around in my head for a few days weeks months (?!?!).  Some how the following has happened:

• Braden is 8 months old
• We have lived in California for 5 years
• Doug and I are married almost 5 years
• Zachary is no longer a "baby" boy, barely a "little" boy, almost just boy.
• My hair is brown
• 2010 is almost gone (but thankfully we are entering some of the best months!)

I am not sure how most of this happened.  I still feel like I "just" had a baby ( I also feel like I should have a good excuse for carrying the baby weight).  Yet my baby is crawling, laughing, clapping, growing, getting teeth and being overall the best darn baby he can possibly be.  And he is 8 (EIGHT!!!) months old.  Just to prove how great he is, here are some pictures.

 He currently has 2 teeth and is working on possibly 4 more.  Yet he is pretty pleasant about the whole thing. 

And Zachary is keeping busy too.  He is attending pre-school 3 days a week, swim class 2 days a week and pretending he is Dino Dan, Pablo, a Blue Power Ranger or Spiderman every other minute of the day.  The imagination of a 3.5 year old is so much fun to witness.  We are often fending off dinosaurs (Spinosaurus', T-Rex, Tricerotops, Pteradactyl, Pterosaurs, Brachiasaurus' and a few others that he knows and I can't even remember right now), making "rad moves"on our surf boards, snowboarding the himalayas, riding horses on the range, "going to jail", or hiding from ghosts and monsters.  There is a lot of laughter in this house, as Zach likes to say, "We are funny!". 

Since we can't slow things down maybe we can at least take some time to appreciate how great everything is for this Walker Family and take some time to add it to this blog so we remember it all. 

Time flies when you are having fun and we are definately having a lot of fun.
Life is good.
