New Year's Eve-Jan 10th

Happy New Year!

2010

I am finally caught up! Here's pictures from New Year's Eve through January 10th. YAY!

Summer is now 8 months old (1/1/10) and is 27" tall (up 1/2 inch from last month) and is 18lbs 13 oz (up over a pound from last month). She continues to grow and change all the time. She is such a joy in our life and we know we will love seeing her change even more in 2010.

Hope 2010 is treating you well so far!

Love, The Zimmerman's

Tom and I spent New Year's Eve with Josh and Debbie at the Melting Pot. Yummy!

Summer spent New Year's Eve with Grandpa Max and Grandma Susie and in her crib fast asleep!

On New Year's Day my friend, Melanie, and I ran our first 5K. As you learned from Daisy's Christmas letter I am training (with Mel and some other fun ladies) for a 1/2 marathon in March.

It felt so good to do the 5K. I am so proud of us!

Melanie's father in law told her that what you do on New Year's Day is what you will do for the year. If that's true we sure had a good start!

Summer is 8 months old!

It's getting harder and harder to get the monthly bunny picture!

Maybe sitting with the bunny is the way to go!

All of Summer's friends are starting to turn 1!

Here's Sophie with her Mom Amy.

Happy Birthday Sophie!

Summer slept through the party.

Summer is always so fascinated with the scale as I get ready in the morning. This time I grabbed the camera and got her weight.

18.8 lbs!

All Smiles! :)

Summer is trying to climb the stairs. She has mastered the bonus room steps, which are a little shorter. Can someone say baby gates?

This is Emmy. I watch her a couple days a week after school. Emmy loves to help with Summer and Summer just adores Emmy. Here Emmy is feeding Summer sweet potatoes. Summer just happily sat there and let Emmy feed her. So sweet!

Here are Emmy and Summer in the "Snow Storm" that the kids got out 2 1/2 days for. It was pretty icy and if you watched the news at all I am sure you saw Atlanta on it for all the ice related car crashes. I have to admit the roads really weren't all that great. They just don't treat them like they do in MD and the temperature has been below freezing for a while now.

Happy First Birthday Addison! Another friend of Summer's turns 1! Time is flying! I can remember when the Mommies were all pregnant together.

Summer loved playing with Addison's toys.

Daddy and Summer

The girls are playing together!

Mommy and Summer

Right before I got this picture Alexander had been sniffing Summer's hand. They are both quite fascinated with each other!

Christmas Part 3-Christmas Break

Christmas Break

So our Christmas adventures continued when Summer's Grandpa Max, Grandma Susie, Great Aunt Beth (GAB) and Great Uncle Jerry (GUJ) showed up for the week.

We had a busy week of celebrating Christmas, Grandma Susie's Birthday, spending time together playing games and doing some touristy things! It was a great visit and our house seems quiet without them.

Next up: Happy New Year 2010! I will get caught up soon! :)

Hanging out with Daddy and Grandma Susie. All of a sudden our tree is full of presents again!

Aunt Lis stops by to see Summer in the cute outfit she got Summer for Christmas.

Happy Birthday Grandma Susie!

We went to Ninja, a Japanese Steak House for Susie's Birthday dinner.

A fun time was had by all!

That drink looks Yummy, Mom-Mom!

Not sure what I think of Margarita's GAB and GUJ!

Oh look- Mommy was there too-she tends to hide behind the camera!

Getting ready to catch some steak in our mouths! Always an amusement at these restaurants!

Good Job Great Aunt Beth (GAB).

Grandma Susie's "Birthday Hat."

Summer loves books!

Fun with Grandma Susie!

We went to Atlantic Station to walk around and have some lunch.

Check out this Christmas tree!

Who's hiding behind Summer?

Oh it's GUJ-Great Uncle Jerry!

I love driving around in my car! Beep! Beep!

Tom and I are big fans to "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" on the Food Network. Tom got a book of places that have been features and recipes. We decided to head to Tucker, GA and try out Matthew's Cafe which we have seen on the show and was featured in the book!

It was some very yummy and oh so fating country cookin'.
The banana pudding was so good and filling I could have had it for my meal!

And yes, you could so tell we were the tourist there...we had 3 cameras out taking pictures! :)

After stuffing ourselves we headed to Stone Mountain-Christmas! Summer had to be all bundled up in her hat and blanket. She stayed nice and warm cuddled up next to her Grandmas!

It was so cold all week. This was the warmest day. Very cold for GA-high of 42 if I remember correctly!

Summer, as always, is such a trooper. She stayed happy all day in the freezing weather.

Here we are getting reading to go on the sky lift up to the top of the mountain. Can you tell we are standing in front of the background? I am sure I can crop it so it looks "real."

Waiting in line.

At the top. It wasn't that much colder since there was no wind. That was a good thing!

There's downtown Atlanta!

Playing with Grandpa Max!
