Zander is 7!!!

September 2016 Update

Zander is 7! Its hard to believe my first baby is already 7. You know these years go by, full of joy and new experiences, but that day of his birth will always be fresh on my mind. Such a wonderful moment in time!

Zander is passionate, loving, detailed and curious. He LOVES building things and almost more so loves taking things apart. He is pretty consistent in INSISTING that he just wants to figure things out! He is an amazing older brother, happy to help, sometimes helping more then his siblings want. I often here him say "But, I am just trying to help!"

On birthdays we let them pick out one gift and one trip somewhere, plus a cake of their choice. Zander chose lego's of course! 

and an ice cream cake!

We did not take a trip anywhere however. He wants to visit the beach once daddy is home. 

Home made Tortilla's!! If you haven't made tortillas from scratch, its a must. They are super easy, and really not too time consuming, even with lots of little hands wanting to help. They love to roll out the balls of dough as flat as they can get!

They are experts and this is one of the many meals they LOVE to share because they enjoy preparing it so much! We have used these for quesadilla's, burritos, tacos and enchiladas!

I also forgot to mention, we now get to talk to Paul daily!! WAHOO!! makes the time away from him so much easier! Planning a little long weekend visit from him in October and we cannot wait!
