Can we at TeamZachMcD be any more touched and more inspired to keep doing what we do? No, we cannot.
Have we shed some tears in the last couple of days? Yes, we have.
Why? Because of Isaiah. Isaiah is a NICU patient and was born weighing 3 lbs. 5 oz. He has now surpassed his birth weight and weighs in at 3 lbs. 10 oz. Go Isaiah!!!! We have not met (yet), but he looks like he has the same fight Zachary had, so we know he will continue doing well.
With Mom’s permission, we present to you Isaiah, a recipient of hats and blankets that we at TeamZachMcD donate to hospitals. How precious is this little guy………..

………..and here is Isaiah with his Daddy…….

Keep growing, little guy, and we will be sending our good thoughts and wishes to you and your family every day.

Dunebrook asked us if we would consider making items for their auction. Well, of course we would. We love Dunebrook. Here are the things we made for them. We hope they make some money and more importantly, that the recipients enjoy these things. The puppy and kitten panels have a crocheted border. You cannot see the border in these pics because I hung the blankets up to get a full shot of their beauty. Many thanks to David Textiles. Thank you for your support.

Yes, I am – lucky – very lucky. I get to watch Zachary two days a week while his Daddy and Mommy are at work. Here is what we did last Wednesday.
Here is the cutie still in his jammies, fresh from his crib. I changed his diaper, of course, and then he ate one of my now world-famous (not really – but they are GOOD) banana muffins and also had some applesauce for breakfast. I wish I woke up this happy and cute every morning……..


……then we went outside to play. Louie loves Zachary sooooooooooo much…………


………….in this picture, they both heard a really loud truck on the street and both turned to look and see what it was…………

………..then he found this bag of bolts. I jokingly texted Corey and asked if this is a toy – Corey said yes. Zachary loves his Daddy – he likes Zachary to learn about all the cool tool stuff that Corey likes……..

…..then we went in the house. Zach loves to be read to. Here he is bringing a book for me to read to him. He then got in my lap and I read it. His favorite book for Grandma to read right now is “The Wheels on the Bus”………….

I swear I didn’t do it! Here is Carrie, looking guilty as guilty can be. This yarn was wrapped around everything – a chest with Zach’s toys in it, a fan, the dining room table, the sofa – oh the fun they must have had. In her defense, Chloe was right there with her but escaped the camera……..


Here are two pair of socks that I made for Mom and myself.
These are Mom’s (**Deborah Norville Serenity Paprika)……….

……….and these are mine (**Regia 2068 and Regia 2066 for the black)…..

We went to Keith and Justin’s last weekend. We did a little shopping, made a delivery to St. Elizabeth’s and then just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. They made us a FEAST for lunch Sunday – thanks Keith and Justin – it was heavenly.
Corey then called and invited us to dinner. Eighty-two miles later, we arrived at their house and Danielle had made baked mostaccioli and garlic bread. It was equally as wonderful. The last pic is her mostaccioli before she baked it – enjoy……………
I have the sweetest life. Here is Zachary going to visit Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, picking up pine cone gifts for them along the way – only one pine cone made it so he gave it to Great Grandma to make her feel better after her hip replacement (ouch!!!). He then helped Great Grandpa snap green beans (not so much really – he just wanted to taste them and did not enjoy raw green beans like his daddy used to). Mommy then got him to sleep and got to enjoy snuggling with him. Life is sweet……..
I have the coolest daddy and grandpa in the world. They hooked my truck up to Daddy’s new trailer and let me play.
