Friday: pool
Today Isaac and I met Betsy and Ethan at the outside pool at the gym. It was a really nice pool...although the boys seemed to prefer running away from us.
There's also a nice eating area, so we had lunch together too. :)

Thursday: monkey
Not much exciting happened over here today; it was just a normal kind of day.
Well, maybe one exciting-ish thing. The car was having a oil change so Isaac and I walked to the nearby greenhouse to see the monkey. (I know, it seems odd. It is odd. But nevertheless, it is a real live monkey.) I remember feeding the monkey when I was a kid. So today Isaac got to feed the monkey. (I also remember the monkey being out of snacks by the time we got there. I was so sad.)

The monkey smiled at us a few times too...that was actually a little scary as the teeth look really sharp.

Wednesday: critters
Today we went to the Critter Barn again, but this time with Betsy and Ethan.
It was busier than last time, but it was still a lot of fun to see all the animals. A lot of them had changed locations, which I found interesting.
However, the boys seemed to love the non-critter things the best. Ethan loved the water hose, Isaac loved all the rocks and the steps to no-where.
Isaac also came to show me his monkeys this afternoon.
I caught one as he was zipping away. I know it's blurry, but I feel like that adds a lot to how Isaac is lately. He rarely stops moving.
And finally, his first self-portrait. Hopefully subsequent ones will be better. And hopefully he'll be properly dressed in the future too.

Tuesday: colonoscopy
Today I had a colonoscopy. I won't hold you in suspense; everything looked fine.
Actually, this prep even went better than the last one if I recall correctly. The procedure was a little different and I had to wake up at 4:30am to drink the second batch of medicine. But maybe because of that it was a little better over all. I'm still amazed at the drugs they use to put me out. You'd think that maybe I would remember closing my eyes, but I don't. We were talking (or the doctors were talking) and then suddenly I was being wheeled back to my room. Surprisingly, I do remember a lot after that. The anesthesiologist said I should sleep for about fifteen more minutes. The doctor said everything looked good. Cheryl said I didn't ask too many dumb questions.
So, three cheers for a good result.

Monday: a good helper
Issac was a really good (and cute) helper today. I was folding the laundry and he grabbed one of my shirts. After running around with it for a little bit, I thought we might as well run into the bedroom and put it away. Isaac signed "more!" Ok, I'm happy to let you help me with the laundry. We didn't get the whole basket put away, but we did get most of it put away...one item by one item. It was funny to watch him with the long sleeved shirts...he often had to stop and make sure the sleeves weren't dragging.
Then this evening I was on the couch complaining about a headache. Ben offered to get me some medicine, which I gladly took him up on. Thirty seconds later Isaac comes out with his arms full of old pill bottles that have been turned into toys and heads straight for me. It was one of those sights that I never want to forget. I'm not sure if he knew what he was doing, but it was super cute.

Sunday: Father's Day
Happy Father's Day!
It was a pretty full day today.
So full, that I only got one silly picture of Ben and Isaac. Oh well, they're both really cute in it.
It started out with Dad and Pat coming to church with us and staying for dinner. I have a great Dad. I might not tell him very often, but he's pretty amazing. :)
In the evening we grilled with Ben's family. That was fun too.

Friday/Saturday: games!
Ben and I have played a lot of games this weekend! First Euchre and Pinochle with some friends from Ben's work. Isaac decided that he wasn't tired until 10pm, but he sat on my lap without being too distracting, so we let him stay up. It was a Friday night after all.
Then Hand and Foot with some other friends tonight. That one included root beer floats...yum. The girls won with an awesome (and surprising) last hand.
