Jake in NC – Days 5 & 6
Lots to report this time… Yesterday, Jake and I walked into the hoppin’ town of Lewisville and scored some coffees from Casanova’s. Then, Derek’s sister’s little boy came over. Jake taught him how to jump off the couch onto a pile of pillows. We only watched him for a little bit, before Derek’s mom came […]
Jake in NC – Day 4
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. […]
