Happy Retirement Great-Uncle Jim!

Zoey has been pretty cute lately. She and Tyler have gotten into the habit of "talking about their days." So at dinner or bedtime, Zoey will say, "Daddy, talk about my day." Which means--tell me about what we did today. Of course many times, we are not with her during the day so we make her tell us about her day. But of course, she is sweet enough to say, "Tell me about your day mommy (or daddy)."

Today Zoey had a lot to tell me. This morning my friend Stacy and her sisters and niece came over to our house to work on a project. Stacy's niece is two week younger than Zoey--so she had a good time showing her around the toys in the basement. Then the highlight of her day--Nana and Poppa came to pick her up and take her to Great-Uncle Jim's retirement party. Before they came to get her, she told me that she wanted to wear a pretty dancing dress that twirls. I found the ONLY dress she has and she was a happy camper. Zander and I stayed home, but Nana and Poppa took pictures of their day together.

Zoey modeled Jim's bus uniform.

Jim's grandkids were at the party. Nana said that the three kids were asked to make a funny face for this picture. What do you think?

Thank you Nana and Poppa for taking Zoey with you. She had a good time and you wore her out. What an easy bedtime it was!

Nana and Zoey were dancing not just playing. Is it in the genes? Where did she come up with wanting to dance today?
