http://butlersurprises.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A Life Full of Surprises! My life has been full of surprises. some good. some bad.some LARGE. and some small. I love a good surprise and I have chosen to learn from the bad ones. Big surprises are awesome, but I like the "little" ones just the same :) I hope you'll enjoy reading about my "life full of surprises"! A Life Full of Surprises. A story to me means a plot where there is some surprise. Because that is how life is - full of surprises. -Isaac B. Singer. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Today I threw (lite...

The Van Zandts: The Great Computer Debate
http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-great-computer-debate.html
Monday, September 1, 2014. The Great Computer Debate. As we can see, my blogging has been non-existent over the last two months. There are many reasons for this, but one of the biggest is the computer debate. So, I began the month of August with a goal to sell my computer in order to purchase a laptop. I listed the computer on Facebook and Craigslist and within the week it was sold, YAY! I see the value in both, but for me, the laptop is definitely the way to go! Posted by Ginna Van Zandt. I adore my Mac...

The Van Zandts: May 2012
http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. Caroline had her first swim lessons this week. I know, I know, she's only seven months old, but she loves bath time and Tyler and I do not want her to fear the water, so we signed her up for swim lessons. She L.O.V.E.D. I can put her tummy on my hands and she will just paddle her arms, kick her legs and laugh as loud as she can. Tyler and I are both thankful we have a water-baby and we look forward to many more fun splash days as she gets older! A successful first day! We took our f...

The Van Zandts: The Beach!
http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-beach.html
Thursday, June 19, 2014. Tyler and I love the beach and we discovered that our girls do, too! We took our first ever vacation as a family (that wasn't a PCS) last week and had the best time. We hung out on the beach, played in the pool, rode the carousel, ate out, ordered in, napped, and just enjoyed each other. Prepare for picture overload*. This year was quite different than last - Tyler was here, I wasn't 10 months pregnant, and Caroline LOVED it! Posted by Ginna Van Zandt. June 19, 2014 at 5:07 PM.

The Van Zandts: August 2012
http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 13, 2012. Sweet Caroline loves to look out windows and doors. She has realized that if she hits the right time (very rarely) she will see Daddy come home. Even though I know she doesn't know what she's doing, I think it is awfully sweet to see. Cheers to Monday, y'all! Posted by Ginna Van Zandt. Monday, August 6, 2012. This is how I found Tyler and Caroline one night after her bath. My heart melted! Posted by Ginna Van Zandt. Friday, August 3, 2012. Back in the Blogosphere. It has been an ...

The Van Zandts: TV Shows
http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2014/06/tv-shows.html
Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Caroline does not get to watch a lot of television and she most certainly does not flip through the TV to choose what looks good. I have introduced her to a number of new shows over the last few months. She becomes obsessed with the new show and rarely goes back to the previous one. Her old favorite, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. DVD not PBS) ,. And Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. Most recently I introduced Super Why! If you haven't seen it, check it out. PBS, 11 am EST. I love Super Why!

http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2014/06/six-years.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Tyler and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday . SIX! We kicked the weekend off with a ball Thursday night. I do have to say Army Balls are one of the perks of the Army . you get to dress up, have a nice dinner and socialize all night with the friends you've made in the unit. Friday we had a date day that included the driving range, a movie, dinner out and reading on the couch that night. Yay for six fabulous years . I am excited about what lies ahead. Tips on Taki...

The Van Zandts: March 2013
http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 26, 2013. My sweet, baby girl is a year-and-a-half . and my heart breaks! I'm not entirely sure how this happened, but she is more of a person than I ever dreamed a 1.5 year old to be. She is kind-hearted, strong-willed and beautiful. I love her smile, her laugh and her fearlessness. Most of the time she portrays a good balance of Tyler and me. She loves music and she loves to dance. Mumford and Fun. are her favorites right now! Posted by Ginna Van Zandt. Monday, March 25, 2013. Caroline a...

The Van Zandts: April 2012
http://gtvz.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 16, 2012. Day Ten: Drive Through Colorado. From the beginning of planning this PCS, Tyler wanted to drive across Colorado. He has spent lots of time there and loves it! I was excited to see Colorado in the Spring, too. Day Ten began with a lazy wake-up, breakfast in our room and then into the car we went. Lodging we've ever stayed in. This is definitely something the Army can learn from the Air Force! We spent three nights in Colorado Springs before moving on to Denver. The goal was to make...
