Zone Fest? Bring It On!

I am so excited for Zone Fest this year. Not that I'm not every year, but this year I'm really excited! I'll have my camera ready so I can take plenty of pics of Hana's first official Zone Fest. Last year she was still in my tummy and about the size of a Lima bean! I can't wait to have one of JennEllen's pomegranate margaritas, mmmmm! I'm really excited to see everyone too. Hana is going to meet her great Aunt Joy for the first time and her great Uncle Jeff if he is still able to make it. He lives in Colorado and his place of work was destroyed by a tornado yesterday. I hope he can still make it despite everything. I'm looking forward to finally seeing Lauren and Joe is going to get Zack to swing him around by his ankles. I've heard Zack has done some growing in the past year. Apparently he's about as tall as Rick, and Rick's a tall drink of water! When Zack was little he used to spend the entire evening of Zone Fest begging Joe to swing him by his ankles, this year Joe is going to beg Zack to swing him around! He might can do it! It's going to be great seeing everyone, and this year Aunt Victoria is coming! WooHoo! She's a Zone Fest virgin! We'll have to break her in good. Maybe it'll be her year to get sick behind the house! I'm sad Tricia won't be able to make it, y'all would really like her, she's really, really funny. She'll keep you in stitches. Oh well, there's still the 4th, Labor Day, lots of birthday celebrations, and then the holidays. She'll make it down eventually!

So Joe talked with one of our old friends the other day whose wife had a baby at the beginning of January. So that makes him a month and a half younger than Hana. The baby, Logan, was a little over 6 pounds when born. Our friend says they had to buy Logan a new car seat because he has already outgrown his! Are y'all ready for this? Apparently little Logan is 27 inches long and weighs 21 pounds! I thought Hana was big! She's in the 97th percentile. He can't even be in a percentile; he's like in the 110th percentile or something! Now I take Hana to the doctor on Wednesday so we'll see then how big she is, she might be right there with him, I have no idea. Last time she went was at the end of March and she was just under 18 pounds and just over 23 inches long. She could be right there with Logan, I suppose. But she still fits in her car seat. Actually she still fits in most of her 3-6 month clothes. I think the catcher here is that Hana Grace is pretty much mobile. But the funniest part of this story is that our friend told Joe that "it's all muscle." When was the last time you saw a muscle-bound baby? I laugh thinking about this little guy doing squats and bench presses! What a riot!

On another note, Joe says I just might be an over-blogger. OVER-BLOGGER? There's no such thing, right? I'm just giving the people what they want! ; )

See y'all at the Zone!
