It's Super Zach!

As Halloween approached we had talked about a few ideas for Zachary. We knew that we did not plan on taking him out "tick-or-treating" but we thought it would be fun to dress him up as we handed out candy. So a few weeks ago we tried on a pumpkin costume---he HATED it, so I kept my eyes open looking for another one, never really finding "the one" Until, my mom brought out this old familiar "Super Z" cape. Years ago, (like 25-30 years) some good family friends had three children and she made "Super J", "Super Z" and "Super T" for her little ones. As her children outgrew the desire to play with these capes she passed on the "Super Z" cape to my little brother, Jason. He idolized her Zach and LOVED anything was had ever belonged to him! For several years my brother wore this "Super Z" cape ALL OVER THE PLACE (we have the pictures to prove it). My mom being the sentimental spirit that she is kept the cape, never thinking she would one day have a Zachary of her own to share it with! It was "the one" and it probably will be for a few years to come (there is plenty of growing room)! Gwyn thanks for sharing this with our family years ago, its just as loved and treasured as the day you gave it to Jason!
