St. Augustine

I promise these are the last of the FL pics. These are from a visit that we took to St. Augustine one day when we were down there. It is by far my favorite city in FL that I have ever been to. So quaint. So cute!!

Flagler College.

Right outside of a fort that is the oldest building in Americal, built in the 1500's.

Happy boy!!

The Foot Rub

So...I'm still posting some pics from when we were in FL. These are some good ones. Background goes like this - my mom LOVES getting foot rubs, or arm rubs, or leg rubs, whatever. When we were little she used to pay us to rub her feet. So, one night when we were in FL, she was begging for either me or Dan to rub her feet and she was offering to pay. I was way too tired and totally NOT interested. Dan said he would only do it for $100 for 20 minutes. Finally my mom agreed to those terms. Below are the pics...

My mom in anxious anticipation of the foot rub. Hoping that she would get her money's worth.

THE FOOT RUB! At the end of the whole thing he ended up telling my mom she didn't have to pay him after all.

Daytona Beach

If you have never been to Daytona Beach before, it is a pretty strange place. It feels like it hit it's prime around 1962, and then again maybe around 1982, and since then has pretty much gone down hill. Despite our surroundings being the mullet capital of the world and some of the worst FL weather you can imagine, we tried to make the best of the situation.

Isaac hanging out pool side at our luxurious villa...hahahaha.
While exploring we happened upon the Ponce Inlet lighthouse, one of the most redeeming parts of Daytona Beach. One of the oldest and tallest light houses in the country. My beautiful mommy standing in front of the beautiful light house.
The grounds of the light house.
Grandma and her little Budgie (that is what grandma calls Isaac).
Two cuties!!

ASC 2008

The reason we were in FL, was for ASC (All Staff Conference) 2008. Every four years YL brings all staff together in Orlando for a 6 day conference. We had so much fun!!
The last night there was a formal dinner and tons of fun.
You can kind of get an idea of what a HUGE event this is. Picture a wedding for 4000 people. It was CRAZY!!
Some of our friends that are on staff with us here in Chicago. Adam, Rachel, Dan, Kelly, and us.
Me, Anna, and Kelly.

Warm Weather :)

Isaac and Dan chilling together outside, enjoying the nice break from the freezing cold Chicago weather.
Happy Baby! Isaac did such an amazing job flexing with our crazy schedule while we were in FL. He really is a dream! Always smiling and laughing, brining us so much joy and reminding us to smile.
FIRST TIME IN THE POOL! Two of the whitest men you have ever seen. Isaac wasn't a huge fan of the pool, I guess he takes after his daddy. Or maybe it was just too cold.
More pool fun with mommy!

I LOVE COOKIES!!!

On the plane on the way to FL, we decided to try something new and gave Isaac one of the little cookies that they hand out. He LOVED it!! probably not the ideal situation for such a mess....oh well!
"Hey, I wasn't done with that cookie. Don't you know it's not nice to take away someone's cookie while they are in the middle of eating it??"

Good to know....

So...I'm Isaac Orr. Some call me Ike, some call me Budgie, some just call me awesome. You may know me from this blog. It's pretty much my claim to fame. But there may be some things that you don't know about me. For instance, I love being naked, especially with my zebra slippers on sitting on the dining room table. I couldn't show you all my goods...because that just aint right. Something else you may not know about me is that I am probably the pickiest baby of all time. I can tell if the milk my mommy gives to me at one time was frozen and all I can say is NO THANKS!!! I can tell if some of the formula in that bottle was in the refrigerator last night...YUCK!!! And most recently I can tell that the baby food you have been feeding me is not my brand of choice and I will just continue to scream until you give me the good stuff.
So, Auntie Lolo...I wanted to tell you about my dog Bear...are you listening because I'm not going to tell you twice.
Ok, now Bear, make sure and be on your best behavior. I don't want to look like an idiot here.
And you with the camera over there. Pay attention!! I'm expcting some quality shots.
...This is my dog Bear. I love my dog bear. I love to pet his fur and give him lots of hugs. I don't have any brothers or sisters yet, so I call him Brother Bear. He is a good brother. Oh, and by the way...just ignore that little poodle in the background. He barks too much anyway.
