My Buddy Z

For those of you who follow me on FB, you have probably seen my status updates lamenting the move of our dear, beloved friends: Paul and Peggy. If it wasn't for the fact that Paul just scored an incredible dream job in L.A., I might have to chain myself to the moving truck in pro-test. I am so happy for the blessings God is pouring out on them, but at the same time I am selfishly grieving our loss. Paul leaves to start his job this weekend. I still have three weeks until Peggy and Zachary leave. Kate and I are trying to take advantage of every moment we can spend with them.

Kate adores Z. You wouldn't always know it from the way she fights with him over toys, but Z has become family. Kate has even subjected him to her favorite game: dress up!

(Notice the ballet slippers on Zachary!)

We've been sharing late nights together so Z has been camping out at our house. He loves his "bath party" with Kate. They can sure splash up a storm, leaving more water on the floor than in the tub. (I opted to leave out the bath pictures - but they are so cute!!) After bedtime stories, Kate insisted on snuggling with Z before sleep.

Oh! What will be ever do with them??
