6 Weeks

Jake Martin is 6 weeks old!

I didn't update my blog in the middle of last night as I have been doing because...Jake slept through the night!!! It was his 3rd night sleeping through, and 3 nights in a row usually seals the deal. :-) I consider 8 hours of sleep as sleeping through the night because that allows a full night's sleep for me.
Below are pictures from the past week.

Here is Sydney this morning. She's sporting new Keens from Grandpa & Grandma Z. All the kids got new shoes and were super excited!

Ethan made his own Zhu Zhu pet using a remote control car and his camouflage bear named Ethan:


And here is Reid this morning. He has blueberries on his face from breakfast! He keeps us laughing with all the different ways he likes to dress himself up.

Sydney and her little twin in her bed last night. All the kids beg for Jake to sleep with them in bed.

This is Reid at Redeemer School's poetry recital last Friday.


Ethan's class at the Poetry Recital- Who Has Seen The Wind? by Christina Rosetti

The 2nd graders recited poetry by Emily Dickinson, and Sydney helped give an intro. It's pretty hard to hear, but I thought her grandparents would at least enjoy seeing her and the rest of the 2nd graders.


"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.
