Yesterday was another somewhat uneventful day. Isaac and Lucy and I went for a long walk in the morning.Jake slept in. We went to Kohl’s and the Dollar Tree in the mid-morning/early-afternoon part of the day. I looked for shorts at Kohl’s (to no avail) and we bought a whole lot of candy at the […]

Jake in NC – Boring Day 3
Nothing exciting on day #3. Isaac slept until 8:00 and so it was a little bit of an off day for him. He is really fighting naps and bedtime these days. It’s frustrating. We did make a trek to Wal-mart to buy formula.And we watched The Barnyard. That’s it.
Jake in NC – Day 2
Day 2 of Jake’s visit got an early start. Seems the baby wanted to get up around 6:00 and there was no getting him back to sleep. Finally, after 45 minutes of squirming, playing, and talking to me, the boy got me up. After the first nap, we packed up and went to the mall. […]
Jake in NC – Day 1
Yesterday was a busy first day for Jake Paine’s visit to NC. After the baby had his breakfast and began his first nap, I put Jake to work, listening for him on the monitor while I mowed. I was almost done when Jake flagged me down outside and said that the little man was awake. […]
On Our Own Again
(sung to the tune of “On the road again”….) My mom, Frankie and Jake left this morning, so it’s just the three of us again.It was a very productive weekend. The boy has started taking naps in his bassinet (vs. the bed or his papasan chair or with a human grownup). He also has been […]
Family Visit Update
My family has been here for two days now. On Thursday, my mom stayed with Isaac while I went to school. He was very good for her, so she doesn’t believe that he’s ever fussy. He’s got her snowed. When I got home from school, we went to the park. We took the ATS (All […]

Grandma Trip #3
My mom is coming again!She hasn’t seen Isaac T. since he wass 5 weeks old. He’ll be 11 weeks old tomorrow.He’s so very different, I wonder if she’ll even recognize him. I started back to school. There are 41 days left in the year. That’s all.
And then they were gone
My Mom (Grandma), Uncle Frankie (Great Uncle Frankie) and Brother (Uncle) left early this morning. I was sad to see them go. All the extra hands have been very helpful. They got to see Isaac smile. That was good. They also got to see him cry, poop, eat, and sleep. Those are his specialties. We […]
They’re Here….
My family arrived on Saturday night. I tried to post about it yesterday, but was interrupted by a crying monster baby… Here’s some pictures of our adventures: Great Uncle Frankie holding Isaac: My mom attempting to burp the boy: Jake’s wild hair, after a rockin’ night of sleeping on the floor:
