Some people may remember that three days before Nick and I got married, my side of the family had our first baby born. My first nephew, Zach, was born June 1, 2005 and every year of his life is another year of life for Nick and I, for our marriage.

It’s been so funny watching him grow through the years and now Zach has two younger brothers – Jesse and Joey – and an older sister, Morgan, to keep him busy.

I took this photo of him on Easter, as he chowed down his ice cream. Sometimes watching kids eat ice cream just gives you a hearty reminder to relax a bit and enjoy life.
