Cutes boys ever!!


We spent the evening at Spookfest. It's a Halloween fun night on base. I was helping out with the NOSC Cupcake Walk (wives thing). This is Isaiah, no nap, up an hour past his bed time, having a blast.

The hat was a wonderful gift from Andrea, Brian and Jagger. Andrea had picked them up last season when one of the Outlet stores was selling off the end of their winter stuff. 2 for $.50! She got a medium and a large... Jagger has clearly grown out of the medium, so Isaiah has a fancy new hat. It was perfect timing too as we left the house without a blanket or hat...


But with a bee-hive.


It has been a great day and now I'm trying to get a few things done for this weekend. I'm preaching in Jackson again. I'm hoping this late night will make for a family day tomorrow rather than a "Dan, can you get Isaiah away from me" day. There not as fun.

After a long time...

It's hard to believe how long it's been since I've sat down to write. Life has, indeed, been a little busy. From the last time I wrote, we've been evacuated, had a birthday party, gone to California, and rearranged the house. Over the next few posts, I'll fill in the details.

This week has been rather full. On Monday Dan and I got our 3rd bedroom "remodeled" from a storage room to an actual bedroom!! We're very excited, as are Ron and Linda who are set to arrive tonight for 5 days of grand-parenting.

On Tuesday Isaiah and I headed over to see his Pediatrician, Dr. Helo. Isaiah got weighted: 10 lb, 1 oz. This is about 1.5 lb more than 2 months ago. He's now at 10% rather than 3%. As he started out at 30%, we're watching this rather closely. Isaiah got more blood drawn for an Iron panel and a thyroid test. We should hear about the results this week. We also both got our flu vacene. So far, so good.

Other than being a little light, he's very happy and seems to be hitting all of his milestones just fine. He blabbers often, sings (very cute), just got climbing onto the chair and sliding off the bed down (we're very glad about this), and walks everywhere. We have a whole living room full of toys and he spent today following me around with the string from a pair of sweatpants around his neck like a stole. The cat thought this was great! So, I went to the bedroom to get laundry. Isaiah followed, blabbering all the way. Shadow comes bounding around each corner just after Za goes by, chasing the string that he is dragging behind him. This is repeated as I leave the bedroom and head to the washing machine. I know, my life is very exciting.

Well, I also have email that I'm SO behind on. I'll update more on our exciting month soon.
