Isaac Videos

Here's a few videos of our little man. I have to say that in the last video Dan did not prompt Isaac at all to put the sweat band in the gym bag, and he has never seen us do that.

My Little Helper

Double Duty

Hi Friends out there in blog land. This picture does a good job summing up a lot about our life lately. It is crazy, funny, stinky, cute, difficult, different than I ever could have expected, suprising, silly, wonderful, tiring, trying, frustrating, invigorating, magical, all consuming, dirty, out of control, cozy, colorful, changing all the time, revealing, refining, loud, quiet, tearful (both mine and the babies'), fearful, life giving, life taking, a roller coaster ride, joful, constant, chaotic, and grace filled.

No one could ever explain the feeling of parenthood until you just do it. Both the highs and the lows are just completely unimaginable until you are there. I sometimes think at the end of the day, I can't believe I made it. And most mornings when I wake up, I start with a prayer that pretty much says, I have no idea how I am going to do this again today. But...in the midst of the struggles and tiredness and choas there are moments of absolute grace and blissfulness. They are usually short and quickly interrupted by some kind of crying, spitting up, pooping, tantrum, or our crazy dog, but in those moments of beauty and grace all the darkness is melted away. If you are in this phase of life, or ever have been, I'm sure you can relate. :)

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

We had some fun at the park for the first time this season a couple weeks ago.

freedom

All the time, every day, Isaac begs to take all his clothes and his diaper off. The other morning I just decided to let him run around the house naked for a little while. Luckily we didn't have any accidents. It was so cute and hilarious. If I would have let him, I think he would have walked right out the front door and down the street. Oh to be so free....
