Tuesday: carrying

I have decided that I am an expert carrier.  Look at the things I can carry all at once...

Yesterday - a random trip to Hope
1. Isaac in a car seat
2. Isaac in a car seat.  It is awkward enough to deserve two bullet points.
3. Teaching supplies bag
4. Purse
5. Empty travel mug

Teaching time
1. Isaac
2. Diaper bag
3. Purse
4. Teaching supplies
5. Toy bag (sometimes)
6. Hot drink (sometimes) (in a safety cup)

Racquetball time
1. Isaac
2. Diaper bag
3. Purse
4. My gym bag
5. Ben's gym bag
6. My racquet
7. Ben's racquet

Racquetball time is about my limit so far though.  I could probably do a few more bags, but it's the non-bag things that get me.  Sometimes I use the stroller just to cart everything around and carry Isaac.

Monday: snowman

Today there was some sun and so the snow got slightly sticky.  Not enough to roll well, but enough to make a snowman.

Sunday: videos

Here are a few videos from the last few days:

Saturday: snow and racquetball

We have a lot of snow here again!!  We probably have about as much as we did before it melted earlier in the week.  Most of it came down last night, so we borrowed Jamie's snow blower for our driveway.  That was really nice.  The snow was light and fluffy, but it went a lot faster with the snow blower.

Then I finally beat Ben in racquetball.  He has a handicap, but even with the handicap I haven't been able to beat him.

Friday: note to self

Note to self:

When your child is still hungry after eating their dinner, remember this wise adage...

"Beans beans the wonderful fruit.
The more you eat the more you toot"

...so that you don't have to change a dirty diaper every three hours the next day.

Thursday: ball

Tonight Ben and I were going to play racquetball.  But all the courts were full.  We got there a little later than normal, but were still surprised at how busy the place was.  Especially since there is a snow storm...I would have expected people to stay home.

Anyway, we ended up playing a game of wally ball.  It was fun, and I didn't embarrass myself too badly.  (The people were pretty laid back, which usually makes it more fun.)  I just noticed that I have a large bruise on my thumb.  Oh well.

Wednesday: 13 months

It's Isaac's 13 month birthday!  So I have a lot of pictures.

With a monkey.  He's taken to wrestling with his monkeys...it's funny to watch.

I brought the walker upstairs and he has been using it a ton!  He's at just the right stage for it...he can't walk by himself, but he can turn it and walk holding onto it in any direction.

I feel like this is what most of the pictures looked like.  Zoom!!

And Ben got me donuts!!!! <3 p="">
