Play Time!

Zander's appetite for play continues to grow!  Daddy says that his three-day weekends (he has taken Fridays off for the summer) leave him as physically exhausted (and with a sore back) as he remembers his high school "three-a-day" practices for sports did!  We hope Daddy can continue to keep up with young Zander!

Play comes in all shapes and sizes - here are some of the toys Zander played with last week:  His new Scooby Doo Dune Buggy from Grandma Marie:

Any blankie that can be used to play Peek-A-Boo:

Any cell phone - here he is dialing on our friend Sonya's after she dropped by a wonderful Korean dinner for us - a delicious marinaded beef with kimchi cucumbers and some savory coconut chocolate chip cookies.  We are still trying to figure out how Sonya (with two boys - one a newborn) had time to prepare us dinner!  We are grateful for her generosity and - yes, Sonya, the meal definitely brought us back memories of being in Seoul:

His new frisbee (from Maple Grove Days festival):

The dishwasher:

Any of Daddy's hats:

His new Play Hut from our friend Mary (Amy and Mary met during junior year of college at an internship in Washington DC) - Zander loves the hut!

Hmmm, perhaps it is all the heavy diapers that are wearing Daddy out...
