Hello all! Welcome to the Gillice Blog, 2008 Edition. Can you believe we've been doing this for a whole year? I haven't posted for "a while" for three reasons:
- James wanted his previous post not to get overshadowed by this post.
- I've been busy redesigning the blog (thank you shabbyprincess.com for the free downloads).
- It takes a while to edit and upload as many pictures and videos as I'm about to share today.
Anyway, with the new year, it is time to gut our hard drive, which means burning all of our pictures and videos onto DVDs and backing everything up. Then wiping our hard drive as clean as we can so it will continue to function until we get a new computer with our tax return. I'm guessing that if the pictures are on discs that I actually have to locate and then insert into the computer before accessing them, I probably won't post them. So here are some great pictures and videos from 2007 that I've meant to put up, but didn't really fit anywhere (or were bumped by my 12-day gimmick). This is pretty much pure indulgence for me and the few family members that read this. TRANSLATION: I won't be offended if this isn't your favorite post because I'm doing this for me and Zoe's biggest fans (the grandmas).
P.S. to my mom - This is what I've been doing today instead of sending your package out. Maybe tomorrow?
This sequence I like to call "Zoe v. Stroller"
I am entirely bummed that Zoe's Christmas portraits didn't turn out as nice as I'd hoped. Mostly because her dress is gorgeous. So here is a not-so-great photo of Zoe, but a good shot of the dress. That feels a little better.
I'd have to say that this is Zoe's favorite video of herself. She's watched it a dozen times and each times she laughs and laughs. The kid has good taste.
The next few pictures are from the Ward Christmas Party. The first one is out of focus, but Zoe's expression is so adorable. So I tried to fix it up as best as possible.
Wow! My eyes are open and I have a real smile on. Very rare.
Zoe really likes to dance. She also really likes to say the word "outside." She also really likes to climb on the coffee table. I really like to film her while she's doing these things.
Christmas Morning
Zoe's favorite seat in the house. She takes the covering from her high chair and plops it in front of the fridge. This is the cheesiest grin I've ever seen on this girl. Glad I had the camera close by.
Zoe dances to sleeping beauty. On the DVD menu, the prince and princess are twirling around and Zoe picked right up on it. Before I got the camera she was twirling with Tigger and Gloworm as her dance partners.

Zoe LOVES her water

Alrighty! Now all these pictures can be stored digitally for some indefinite amount of time. At least we will always be able to enjoy them here.

So many pictures, so little time. She sure is growing up. I love how she blows bubbles into her water and then just laughs hysterically. That's great!
Your blog looks awesome. How do you do that? Could you show me sometime? :-) Zoe laughs a lot. She is so cute.
I love the new blog look! So you blog and scrap book too, right? That's impressive. Scrap booking scares me. It's so overwhelming! I love all the pics and videos of Zoe. The water cup one is so funny! What a cutie. Jay and I both really liked the second video too. When Zoe started doing her peek-a-boo Jay tried to play along. Also, the way she says "outside" is so sweet. I love to hear toddlers talk. By the way, thanks for confirming my usage of the word creche. I knew I wasn't crazy.
Zoe is so adorable. I can not wait to come see her. I hope it will be soon...like in a month or two. I am studying for my new business, and I am hiring help for my AFH business. I just have to get a new person trained and then I am hoping that she will be willing to work 24 hr. shifts, so that I can leave town. :)
Give Zoe a big kiss from me, Love Grandma Cathy
Zoe is growing up so fast. She look like a little girl now not a little baby and way to go on the updated blog background. I am far to lazy to do it. Maybe someday!!
