lid kid everyday life
things the boy says…
isaac has been saying some pretty good stuff lately… rewind?: while watching the macy’s thanksgiving day parade, he saw the spiderman float and ran to get grampa terry, and said, “grampa turdy, you are not going to believe this. it is amazing. hold on… i just have to fast-backwards to it.” mom v. sarah: lately, […]

i’m not smart enough to embed this video of anna into this post, so until i figure that out (or derek figures it out for me), you’ll have to click this link to see the girl stand all by herself for 10 seconds or so… the stander.
