Brotherly Love

Zeke has been a great big brother so far and is very gentle with "Baby Ben" as he refers to Benjamin. Here is a recent picture of one of Zeke's favorite activities...kissing Ben. Not sure if Ben is enjoying it as much as Zeke!

Sandcastles!

We have been very lucky with beautiful (although hot) weather here in San Diego for the past couple of weeks. This has allowed us to travel to the beach very often and Zeke and Mike have become masters of making sand castles. Here are some pictures from a recent visit where they made a drip castle.



Please note the tongue...he is exactly like his father!

Like Father Like Son!

Here is a picture at Sheila and Joe's pool with Zeke and Mike hanging out in their red Birdwell's (boardshorts that Mike swears by!)...

Cousins!

We have been very lucky this summer and have spent so much time with Stephen, Jodee, Colby, Jillian and Gunnar. Zeke and Gunnar (who are only 24 hours apart) have really bonded and have had a great time this summer. We will be sad to see Jodee and the kids go back to Massachusetts this weekend. Here is a picture of Zeke and Gunnar hugging as they usually do when they see each other.



here are some other pictures from the summer!

Zeke enjoying some BBQ!

One recent night, Mike and Zeke went to the bbq joint by our house and picked up some bbq. Usually Zeke just goes for the baked beans but he chowed down on some bbq chicken drumsticks!

The Del Mar Races!

Mike had a special treat for Zeke one recent afternoon. They were heading to the Del Mar Races!! Zeke loves the horses and has gone every year since he was born. This year they even won big (by our standards) and came home with some money!!
