Christmas Love

We have lots of loving relatives and friends who sent our kids fun gifts. James and I decided the kids would probably be a bit overwhelmed to receive so many new toys all at once. So we had Christmas every night for about a week and the kids got to pick a present or two to open after dinner. They looked forward to this activity allot (and gave them something fun and different to play with on the days leading up to Christmas!). 

The weather was funky this week and hot one day, cold the next, AND Isaac was learning to go potty. So look past the many different seasons represented in our clothing. And Isaac spent this week naked so there are not as many pictures of him... 

Playing in the Leaves

We decided to hit the high spots regarding the leaves (i.e. the path to the playground and to the neighbor's house - little feet kept slipping on weit leaves!). Lydia was trying to teach Isaac how to jump in the leaves. He did not seem to really enjoy the activity all that much but Lydia had a wonderful time!

I love Lydia's enthusiasm and passion for everything in life :) 

Lydia, this is a weird activity! haha

One Sick Boy

Those pictures sum our weekend up perfectly... Oh well! 

Stay Tuned!

Isaac has started telling me he is wet, when he needs to poop, that he has pooped, taking his diaper off, etc... It is time to learn to use the potty!

Isaac has picked out underwear and his treat (jellybeans!) and we are starting this journey Monday. Gotta build the anticipation up ;)

Lydia would like it to be known that the stores sell paper underwear too and that looks much less messy.

As far as building up anticipation, the boy is excited! He carries around his underwear all day "big boy Monday" he says. 

Evening at the Museum

 

P.S. Lydia set down her hat and Isaac decided to wear the hat. Lydia cried which made Isaac all the more determined to make the pink hat HIS for an hour.
