This has been an exciting year for the Zohner family. Like most years, it started on January 1st and will end on December 31st since the so-called Mayan experts were wrong. Since I’ve received complaints that I haven’t been so good about blogging this year, I figured that it was time to dust off the blog and give everyone an update on how our year has gone. Let’s start with Lincoln… Read the rest......

  Holly has always wanted to get a pedicure so on Saturday, she decided that she would cross this off of her list and spend a few hours getting pampered.  In her infinite wisdom, she though that it would be a good idea to take Emma and Hannah with her.  After a few hours, I received a call from Emma saying that it was the best day ever.  They got their toes done, went to the mall to buy scented lotions, and then went out for ice...

For some reason, Holly thought that it would be a good idea to teach Alex how to play chess.  Apparently she taught him too well because he ended up winning.  Not bad for a kid of six. I was at work at the time so I wasn’t able to see Holly and Alex play their game of chess, but I imagine that the conversation that took place as he was winning went something like this: Holly: You can move that piece there or that one there.
