Welcome to Zach's Blog

After seemingly endless prodding, teasing and thinly veiled condescension from friends and family, my wife and I have finally succumbed to peer pressure and have entered the 21st century. That's right, we are now officially "blogging". Besides, what better way to introduce ourselves to this mysterious and novel medium than through the shameless exploitation of our wonderful little boy, Zachary Winston Williams. Since before he was even born Zach has been a constant source of "oohs" and "aahs" which I have piously and painstakingly documented with my camera. Indeed, you- the common citizen of the Internet, will no longer have to miss out on precious moments such as "Baby's first dirty diaper" or "Baby blows milk out his nose all over mom".

During the first months of his life, Zach has had his photograph taken ad nauseum. I have countless photos of myself, Lesley, friends, family and a few complete strangers holding our son in every possible setting imaginable. There are so many photos in fact, that it would be impractical and maybe even a bit cruel to post them all here. So in order to conserve both available memory and the readers sanity, the plan is to pick a 'small' handful of the best pictures and include a link to my flickr website for those with the fortitude to tackle the rest.

On my son's behalf, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation and gratitude for your interest in his life. I hope all of you will enjoy watching him grow and develop over the next months and years. I know I will.

The Hunt

It's 5am. While the rest of the family sleeps peacefully, Zachary is hatching an evil plan.

With the deadly stealth of a ninja, he slithers like a snake behind enemy lines. Completely undetected by his would-be victim.

Using the element of surprise, he launches into a lightning-fast series of strikes.

Like a crazed spider monkey, his onslaught is a flurry of arms, legs, hands and feet that blur with feverish alacrity. This 'Shock and Awe' tactic proves simply too much for the unprepared and defenseless victim to withstand.

After instilling a sense of bowel loosening terror within his prey, he regroups and quickly formulates a second assault.

...a more subtle approach.

Zach skillfully utilizes his charm to lower his victims' defenses, subduing and lulling her into a vulnerable complacency.

He slowly inches ever closer. Closer....

Suddenly, with an earsplitting bestial battle cry, he executes a second fiery attack

Going straight for the Achilles Heel, he looks to quickly end the battle with a devastating finishing move.


What's this? In a shocking and stunning turn of events, Zachary loses stamina and focus at the worst possible moment and falls asleep in mid-attack. In an instant, his inevitable victory is snatched away from him by the jaws defeat.

Devastated, Zachary is left to contemplate his failure.

Thankfully, the victim escaped with only minor injuries and lives to fight another day. Will she be prepared next time? We'll see....
