Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures taken over the last month or so. I haven't been very good lately at posting... seems there is never enough time in the day! Zach is growing so fast. Gracie is saying more and more words everyday, we can actually communicate quite well. Enjoy the pictures.

Zach scooting

Zach can scoot on his back... it is so cute. He sure is a kicker. His legs are constantly going. In this clip he was laying on a blanket until he got going. He probably scooted 4-5 ft!

Visit to Pittsburgh

Last weekend from Saturday to Tuesday the Malecek crew made a trip to Pittsburgh, PA to visit Marty's sister Lisa and her family, Mick, Bridgette, and Miller. We went via plane and amazingly the flights went fairly well. Both Gracie and Zach fell asleep for about an hour on both flights. Our visit with the Mekkelsen's was lots of fun. It was warmer there, about 50's or so. We went on some walks outside, got to watch a couple of basketball games of Miller's (he is in 6th grade), ride the incline to see the big city from up above, eat some good meals made by Lisa and Mick, the kids played with Miller and his friend Jeremy, and just did a lot of good hanging out and visiting at their home.

As I am posting these pictures the blog won't let me rearrange them for some reason, so they are out of order, but I think you will get the idea.

This is the little cart you ride in for the incline.

The city of Pittsburgh, where the three rivers combine. It was kind of a foggy day.Auntie Lisa and Zach.

Tagged - How Fun!

I’ve been tagged to play along with this game! Here are the rules:

1. go to your documents/pictures file on your computer

2. go to your 6th file

3. go to your 6th picture

4. post and blog about it

5. tag 6 people to do the same

6. smile!





How fun... This was our dog Willie and my sister Shelly's dog Colby in Dec. 2006. Colby came to live with us that year cause Shelly ended up in an apt. building that did not allow dogs. We had a lot of fun taking care of him. Willie and Colby would fight and play all the time. Other things about this photo... Marty and I were at our first house we lived in on the farm. It seems forever ago that all we had was two dogs... not two kids. At the time of the photo I was probably 5-6 months pregnant with Gracie. Now look at us just two years later... new house, new job, two new kids, no more Colby... but we still have good'ol Willie!!

I can't tag anyone, cause the two blogs that I look at have already been tagged, but I thought it would be fun to do the reminiscing about the photo.
