a couple of weeks ago, we received a hand-me-down (of a hand-me-down) harley davidson kids ride-on toy. for isaac’s birthday, we splurged on new batteries to he could actually make it go, although he was perfectly content to just sit on in in the garage for 15 minutes at a time. anyhow, the batteries came […]

happy birthday isaac, volume 4: presents!
finally, the shots of the gift opening. from aunt madge (an. nash.) – an art supply kit (complete with a paw print (blues clues) stamp): from the aunt/uncle/cousins – cooking utensils (the spatula is a big hit!): from paw paw – play doh (and not shown: a play doh fun factory and watercolor […]
christmas loot.
i see that i haven’t blogged in awhile. it’s been a bit hectic around here lately. we had our christmas party with derek’s parents over the weekend, so we were working fast and furious to get those gifts all lined up. we got some sweet loot from that exchange. i (we) got some christmas dishes […]

Isaac and I decided to tag along, not even realizing how much fun we would have. The first room was pretty much a pre-school playroom and had all sorts of building toys. […]
