Zara hit her 2 year check up at 32 3/4 inches tall and 23 lbs! I still remember wondering if she'd ever hit the 20lb mark! Go Zaza! She took her bloodwork like a champ. My friends from Clark University were on the way to the OBX and stopped in DC for lunch with us! Their daughter Sammy and son Nate were so sweet with Zara, what a great little visit we had! And the next day, we were about to see another Sammy! ( Jenn Leone Tiska's Sammy arrives!)
Kathleen Zara arrived into this world on July 30, 07. Matt, Mary Rose (Matt's 16 year old sister)and I were all in Ft. Leavenworth Kansas waiting for her at St John's Hospital. Along with Zara's birth mother Chrissie and half brother Devonte, we enjoyed ourselves; getting to know each other better! Chrissie's labor was about 10 hours long and suddenly Zara was here! A few hectic & thrilling days later, on August 5th, Zara boarded her first plane home to Washington DC with her mommy and daddy! Chrissie is in Cuba with the US Army and Devonte is on base with his grandmother, Penny, in Kansas waiting for her return. We speak often and we are forever thankful to each other.
