I had some fun with the older nieces and nephew…and my camera. Though my camera isn’t the greatest, I think it did do pretty well on these shots. We really had a lot of fun.

There is something about those little legs in shorts that just make me smile! It turned out to be such a nice day today which we were all very happy about. Geoff shared his lunch with Isaac on the porch swing that my parents made for us. We’re ready for you summer!

Happy 23rd Birthday Kim! We had such a fun night, starting out with the most delicious dinner at Happy Sumo. I love sushi! We ended the night at our house and had Kim’s favorite, dirt cake. We feel so blessed to be close to family so that we can celebrate days like this.

Isaac and I went out exploring today. I’ve learned to just accept the fact that I will be doing laundry and a bath afterwards. Isaac is my best buddy. We do everything together. Today we played with the neighbor’s dog, picked up rocks, ran our fingers in the dirt, and pulled petals off of flowers. Having a boy is so fun, I can’t imagine it any other way!

This was taken a week or so ago, but I forgot to post it. Isaac is really pulling himself up (for the most part). I’m competing with him for bicep size.

Isaac slept a lot today, and I mean a lot! So when Geoff got home he was super hyper. They wrestled and tickled eachother and ran around the house. Isaac was delirious with laughter and so were we. Here is a video of Geoff “bonking” Isaacs’ head with his bear (it’s real soft, don’t worry). Boy is this a fun stage that he’s in!

Isaac will probably hate me for taking this picture at some point, and though a bit white-trashish, he did look real cute with his shirt off. It was hot upstairs alright, give me a break.

Boules is one of our favorite leisurly summer games to play. It’s like Bocce ball, or Petanque if you know those (a favorite french sport). With the weather being so nice, Geoff brought them out and gave the boys of the family a go at it. Birch is my sister’s husband, and Jared is my little sister’s loverboy.

Isaac loves his Aunties. He was being so cute with them, resting his head on their shoulders, I had to get a picture. We’re so grateful to be able to have them around to have such a big impact on him. I wish Sara could be closer too, Isaac was just starting to warm up to her by the time she had to leave. I think she forgot to give him licorice.

Isaac drops whatever he is doing and runs as fast as his little legs can take him to the back door when he hears it open, he knows dad is home. Isaac worships his dad and it’s so cute to see his little face light up whenever he comes home. Isaac and I are so lucky to have such a talented, hardworking, and loving man we call ‘dad’.
