Greg & Renee are now ENGAGED!

Congrats to Matt's brother Officer Greg & Renee!!! What a great night; they came into the Palm for their engagement dinner and we all sang, "Going to the Chapel" to them as a suprise; it was so great to see them so happy. Zara thought they were very funny too; she came to the Palm and was smiling all night long! She was definitely pleased to hear the good news!

Here she is in the Christmas outfit that Chrissy sent us. Zara said she'd wear it only if she could accessorize the look with her purse given to us by Susan (next door!)

Christmas Visitors are here! Yippeee!!!

Amanda was in town for less than 24 hours and stayed the night with us! The Munch was in rare form!
Today, Saturday, Anthony and Becs arrived from London and baby Zara donned her Christmas outfit... she such a show off!!! LOL
And the Rock brothers down from Hagerstown had private time with her & she loved their attention. Tommy read her favorite book and Jimmy was the photographer extraordinaire!

December 2nd, another big NEWS DAY!

Just recieved in today's mail our katie Zara's Birth Certificate from Kansas. It is surreal seeing our names on it with hers. Now we are racing off to the passport office to get her all hooked up! She seemed indifferent when i told her she'd be getting her passport very soon- as you can see here... super stretchy yawn.

Zara's big news. Happy 4th month bday!

Here is the little munch Zara in her fancy chair that Evey sent her and wearing the handmade beautifully knitted hat from the Ogrens!
She is all kitted out with her fancy new things! We are so lucky; she is doing so well.
Yesterday was her 4th month bday; to celebrate we went to the Doc. poor thing.
She weighs 11 lbs 3 ounces; that is barely over 7 lbs growth since birth! She is 24 inches, so she grew 4.5 inches since her birth. The Doctor gave her more shots and said she is doing perfectly well even though she is in the bottom 6th %tile for weight.

On another note; Chrissie, her birth mom called us and said she is going to be deployed to Cuba for 18 months in Mar 07. Other than that; she sounded pretty upbeat and very positive about her re-enlistment. So this gives us great peace to hear her sounding so good.
