The Last Man Standing...Falls

As of yesterday Zach was the only one in our family who hadn't caught this nasty viral infection we've been sharing. He was so proud of himself for being the only one who didn't get sick.

Then last night his throat started to hurt before bed. And he woke me at 2:30am with a fever. Jacob is the only kid at school today.

As long as I'm posting about Zach, here are some pictures of him recently. He and I went alone to his soccer game on Saturday since Jacob was sick. He played defense and really liked it. He had a few really good kicks.

Zach has started a coin collection of state quarters. The kid has always been really interested in money, so it was only a matter of time I guess. Here he is trying to trade money with Savannah for coins that he thinks are cool.

When Zach gets on a kick about something there is no stopping him. Yesterday he decided to make his own book with interesting facts about sea creatures. He started it at school and finished it at home. He basically copied the information from a couple of library books and then drew the pictures to go with it. The funny thing was that he complained about doing 3 minutes of homework, but then as soon as it was done he shut himself up in the computer room and wrote a book for the ENTIRE afternoon.
