Summer just started yet we're already half-way!
Patrick wanted to hold Isaiah - who seems to be about the same size as him.
Isaiah will be 1 on Friday! He is crawling fast and loves to pull himself up to furniture. He also loves books - especially GK Chesterton and CS Lewis. He weighs 21 lbs 8 oz and is just over 30 inches tall. His head looks huge (according to men who aren't very sensitive to his feelings.) But it's really only in the 50th percentile. I think it looks huge due to all the English literature he reads. For his birthday I think we shall get him a toolbelt.
The boys aren't the only growing things here. We have picked our first tomatoes of the season and they were just as tasty as they look. Despite a very late start to summer my tomato plants are HUGE! I now sing the glories of raised beds.
Yup we live in Idaho. Somebody parked this next to our van at the local mud-hole (aka aquatic center.)
But most of the time we use our own pool.
I tried potty training this guy a couple weeks ago. I quit after a couple days but I think it was because I personally was not ready for the challenge. Patrick on the other hand tells me several times a day that he has to go potty - and he does! This morning we found an old Easter bunny behind the bookshelf and Patrick piped up "Oooh chocwat! I have to go potty!"
I'm so bad about taking pics of the boys with their friends. Here's Isaiah and his little bud Brody doing their step aerobics.
As for me - I just realized this morning as I got out of bed that now I have to put on my glasses, insert my false tooth (basically my dentures) AND strap on a walking boot. Yup, I'm a real gimp since I broke my foot (falling off a swivel chair.) I'm really looking forward to getting my new tooth and a healed foot - I'll be a whole new person! Our house is almost finished being painted, so there will be fun new pics of that soon too.
