Sunday: beach

Scarlet and Autumn spent a few hours with us this afternoon so we took a walk down to the beach.  I was expecting them to play in the sand, but it quickly became playing in the water too.  Oh well.  Hopefully their parents didn't mind too much. :)

Isaac on the other hand really wanted nothing to do with the sand or water.  But he nicely sat next to me on the beach towel.  He did get up after a while, but was mostly interested in drinking water from the water bottle.

Friday: yesterday

Well, today went ok but Isaac woke up in the middle of the night and then didn't want to nap even though he was tired... I was tired and wanted a nap, so that wasn't really helping anything.

So I leave you with a picture from yesterday after swimming lessons.



He doesn't move when bundled up, so it is easier for me to get dressed without chasing him.

Thursday: pointless

In between racquetball games, Ben tossed me the racquetball.  However, I was busy getting my racquet back around my wrist and it ended up back with Ben.

Amanda: "That was pointless."
Amanda: "Haha, it is pointless because it's a ball."

We start getting ready to play.

Ben: "Ovids.  Rounded cubes."
Amanda: "[The score is] zero zero."
Amanda: "That's pointless too!"

Wednesday: rocks

Isaac loves rocks.  It's nice, because they keep him entertained if I'm outside gardening/weeding.  He especially loves to carry as many as possible in his hands...usually around four.  And he gets very upset when it is time to leave his rocks.

Monday: We're home

We're home!  We slept in (ahh), had a delicious breakfast, watched the new StarTrek movie, and relaxed a little bit more today before going to pick up Isaac.  He saw me, and promptly turned around to run away because the puzzle he was playing with was more interesting.  While it was a little sad, and I would have at least appreciated a hug first, I'd rather have that than missing me too much.  And I think he played hard at Cheryl's as he was exhausted when we got home.

Sunday: disappearing

Ben and I have disappeared for the night. Dad (and Pat) are watching Isaac tonight and Cheryl is watching him tomorrow. This is the first overnight that I've ever been away from him...and I'm not sad at all. I tried waiting until he was sleeping though the night before asking someone to watch him...of course, this past week he has woken up several times. But hopefully he'll do better tonight.

We are at a bed and breakfast. We have done a lot of relaxing...there is a little gazebo and the weather was perfect to sit and read. There were also some delicious dinner appetizers.

It's nice.

Saturday: "10 minutes with Dad"

Take special note of 0:10-0:13.  Although my favorite is 0:25
