Easter

Well Easter this year was a little different than ones in the past. We spent Easter in Fort Wayne for the first time. After several weeks of traveling we decided that the 8 hour drive was more than what we wanted to endure.

We have friends here in Fort Wayne that were nice enough to invite us to be a part of their families Easter festivities. My friend Amber and her husband Keith invited us to their parents home to share the holiday.

We hope that you all had a happy Easter. We wish that we could have seen you and celebrate the joy that only Easter can bring.

Max's cool new glasses

Well today was a milestone in the life of Max. He had to get his first pair of glasses today. The journey started awhile back when he first failed his vision screen for his 5 year old check up. They instructed us that we should have him she a opthamologist. So, we did as they instructed and found out that he really needed glasses. We debated whether or not to get a second opinion but soon noticed how much he was struggling to see things that we could see.

So, now begins the journey of convincing him that glasses are cool and it does not matter what other people say. He is excited since his cousins DJ and Celia have glasses.

Murder and Mayhem at the Zoeller House

Well I must say that Saturday night at our house was probably one of the most eventful since we have lived in Fort Wayne. We decided that we would have a murder/ mystery party. We discussed it in our small church group one night and that was all it took. As most of you know this is our third murder/mystery event. We were so happy that everyone went all out. The costumes were awesome and everyone performed incredibly. One of our guest even commented that her stomach was going to hurt the next day, from all the laughing. I must say that we did miss some of our murder/mystery alumni (Tyia Lynn, David, Lisa, Johnny, Shay and Glen). However, it is good to know that there are also adventurous people who will humor the Zoellers in Fort Wayne. The evening was concluded with awards for Best Dresser, Best Performer, Super Slueth and the person who ended up with the most money. Thanks to everyone who made it a night we will not soon forget!

The Cinderella Ball

Well in my opinion, Chris wins daddy of the year for this one. I received an email from a local art spot that they were helping to sponsor a Cinderella ball that would help support a womens and childrens home here in Fort Wayne. So, of course, as soon as I told Chris about this event he bought tickets.


The email stated the following:
The three-hour event consists of a sit-down dinner, horse-drawn carriage ride, ballroom dance lesson, craft, entertainment, souvenir photo, and commemorative t-shirt. Cinderella and Prince Charming will also be on hand to interact with their royal guests.

So, the event was set and daddy told his little princess that she would have to go pick out a dress and he would wear a matching tie.

Madison was so excited about her new outfit and going to a ball with her daddy.

It was a magical night for both daddy and daughter. One I am sure that they will never forget.

SO OVER IT!!!!

Lets just say that I thought that I was a patient person until today. I can finally say that I am over it!! The snow needs to go. This is the sight that I have been looking at for the past 3 plus weeks. Everyday that I take Madison to school this is what is looking me in the face and mocking me. It has become a personal battle as it continues to grow and get bigger. I am not sure how you pile snow this high. I have not seen them in person hoisting the snow but it must be a sight. The building that you see in the background is Madison's school. I keep reminding myself that it could be worse. I could be in Louisville with no power. Love to all! Stay warm.

Our Little Man Max is 5!!!!

The saying is time flies when you are having fun. Well there is one thing I can say about my little boy - FUN! It is hard for me to believe that he is already 5 years old.

Since we decided to move away from family and friends this birthday was a little more tricky than others. We had tried to work out a fun trip but it fell through. So instead we decided that we would just spoil Max for the day! Movie, Chuck E Cheese and Red Robin. I think we succeeded. We had lots of fun and Max said that he was "Spoiled Rotten".
