MY BIGGEST BOY

Hi everyone. I know its been a while. Its hard finding time these days. Where do I begin?

Zacharys in 8th grade this year. It seems like he went from being a little kid to an adult in a matter of a year. Just like that! He now towers over me as much as I dont like to admit that. He ditched his glasses for contacts and the braces are coming off in a few months. He is still very active in the Police Explorers. He has been in for 2 years now. Im so proud of him, he really gives his all to them. They do a lot of fun things, but in return they also work very hard. Last weekend there was a huge soccer tournament in town. People came from as far as NY to go to this. It lasted for 3 days. The explores had varies duties, and Zachary was assigned to direct traffic at NW park. For 3 days (over a holiday weekend) he had to be there at 6:45 am and work till 3pm. Can you imagine how boring? But he never complained. He knows in order to play hard, you have to work hard. Here is a link to his sqad on youtube. Its kinda long, but it shows a lot of what they are about. He is in some of the pictures if you watch long enough. YouTube - 2008 Windsor Police Explorers

He is doing very well at school. He just had a science assessment that is part of determining what kind of science he will be placed in for high school next year. He scored a 97! And looks like he will be in an advanced science. He is such a smark kid. I wish I had his brains when I was in school.

He has totally fallen in love with Grace and it melts my heart watching him with her. She of course adores him, as all kids do.

As you can see from the pic, we had a hospital trip not too long ago. He fell off his skateboard and busted his knee. We were at the childrens hospital all freaking night! They were so busy and it wasnt even a weekend. Didnt get home till 4am. at about 3:30, I had a meltdown in the ER when I realized in about 3 short hours Id have to be up with the babies and I wouldnt be able to sleep. Oh and then work till 1130 pm. In the end, nothing was broken, but he sprained it and had a pretty good bone bruise. He was on crutches for a week and for the first day thought that was cool. That wore off pretty quickly.

No girlfriend at the moment. WHEW!
