Eenie feeney finey fail
Catch a lion by its tail
If he hollers let him flail
Eenie feeney finey fail
The making of this rhyme caused a lot of laughter. No one was permanently hurt.

Thursday: rain, food
There was a lovely thunderstorm today. Ahh. I do love the rain and am glad we've been getting more of it.
I also spent a lot of time in the kitchen today. I made some baby food and some curry. The curry is probably the meal that takes the longest for me to make. There's a good hour of active cooking plus some simmering time. This time I started it an hour earlier than normal so I wasn't feeling rushed and it was probably one of the best batches I've made. (It might also help that I remembered to put in the salt.) Luckily, it also makes 3.5 meals so even though it takes a while I now have two very fast meals to pull out of the freezer.

VA pictures
Here are a few of the pictures from our Virginia trip.
Veterans Crisis Line: it's for everyone.
More goats! (These were the small ones.)
Feeding the goats.
Petting the goats.
At the zoo
Yay!
There was an exhibit that you could go into and see birds. I think this was Isaac's favorite exhibit. The birds were easy to see and moved a lot. The otters were fun to watch, but there was glass between us so I think he just watched his reflection. He also enjoyed checking out the wood fence around some exhibits if the animal wasn't moving or was far away.
Let's feed the goats again!

Tuesday: home
We made it home! We took a tad bit longer than going down, but we also ran into an accident on the highway and needed to make a detour.
Isaac again did great on the drive and slept the whole time. But he was awake a lot today. I think we took three half hour naps. I might have been trying to get him to take a nap on the early side of when he normally does, but by the last one I really figured he'd take a slightly longer one. I was doing ok until about 2:30, when I started to crash. I got my second wind after the subsequent short nap at 4:30, but I'm really starting to drag as I write this. I'm not complaining too much though...Dad did a lot of the driving and it is a lot easier to entertain him at home than in the car.
Hopefully there will be pictures tomorrow.

Saturday: a hike
The weather was beautiful today, so we went for a hike. In true family tradition, we went to look for a waterfall. And we found it!

Thursday/Friday: Virginia
Last night dad, Isaac and I left for Virginia to visit Nathan and Liz. Dad and I were excited, but rather nervous about traveling that far with Isaac.
We traveled through the night and Isaac was great. He woke up when we stopped, but promptly went back to sleep. I think he cried for about two minutes at one point because it was a normal feeding time, but he went back to sleep once he realized he wasn't going to be fed.
Then today we looked at the goats and the cows and took naps. It's been a nice day.

Wednesday: my nap
Today my nap of the day was finished before Ben got out of the shower this morning. He was running about fifteen minutes late, but that doesn't change the fact that Isaac was awake before the crack of dawn.
Honestly, this is a little worse than having to get up a few times every night to put the pacifier back in, because I could do that while mostly asleep. It seems like it should be better, but fighting with Isaac at 5:20 for forty minutes about the fact that it is still night time is no fun.
