This weekend Nick and I took Zooey to the park for her first ride on a swing. She seemed to enjoy it, especially when Nick pushed her ever so slightly and she got to feel the breeze flowing through her wispy hair. (FYI: Mama is just outside the frame, waiting to spring into action should the need arise.)

Here she is looking casual and carefree.

Awww...this picture makes Mama's heart go melty-melty.

"Hmm...did I forget to turn the stove off?"

Looking a bit wistful here (perhaps thinking of the late John Hughes).

And this is Zooey playing with the Punk Rock Sheldon turtle that her daddy knitted for her. Cute, huh?
