Seth and Janelle Wedding Video

Seth and Janelle are married! Very nice ceremony and reception at a vineyard. Here's a video that was played at their wedding. Pictures to follow...

So this is parenting!

I love my baby! Isaac is so cute and sweet, which having him has taught Dan and I what love really means. It gives us just a small glimpse of what GOd's love is. Isn't that amazing! that unconditional love. Now, before you read on, you are probably thinking this is going to be one of those moments...well, i thought i share with you one of the highlights of parenting. It all started out as the family cleaning day...mainly Dan. Dan had got down on his hands and knees scrubbing away at the floor and our filthy bath tub. I was very excited to give Isaac a bath, since its all nice and clean and this "heat wave" here would be nice for Isaac to have a nice bath. So I am bathing him, talking and playing with him when I noticed tiny brownish green pebbles floating around the water, within secounds I realized, Isaac had a BOWEL MOVEMENT. I quickly jumped out with him and put the shower on to rise him off as I let the tub drain. I quickly get Isaac cleaned up and have him play in the hallway as I clean the tub. Gagging and holding my breath, with MY HANDS, I picked up a couple poops before they got a mushy in the water and I had to clean the hard work Dan had put through all over again. Below are some photos for you. Believe parenting is great, but you know you are a true parent when you reached in and grabbed your child's poop out of the tub. Isaac remember this day, because when I am 99 years old, you might be doing the same for me!

the other photos are of Isaac cooling off. If you haven't heard, we are having a "heat wave" of 99 degrees here in the Northwest!

Isaac! Isaac! Isaac!

the baby has been creeping so much lately we have to reall watch him. His favorite thing these days are the breastpump tubings and cable wires. Why do they just have an instincts for forbidden things? We would go up to him and say it very firmly "NO" and then put him in the middle of the carpet. Needless to say, he hasn't learned that yet. :).
Here are some pictures of Isaac helping Mommy fold laundry, us at the Taste of Tacoma, and our trip to Mt. Rainer. Oh, the one with me in the red tank top..we went out for an early early birthday dinner for me. Auntie Tram watched Isaac so we got to go out for a long, quiet dinner.

7 Months!

Its been awhile since I blog....boy, does time go by fast. I'm almost at the end of my contract at MAMC, which i'm getting excited going part-time. This way Isaac and I will have plenty of time to hang out and play. He is getting so big...just hit over the 20 pounds mark...and the boy is solid! we recently started him on yogurt and he loved it! Its those Yo Baby ones, I actually use to eat it when I was pregnant..it's not as sweet, but quite yummy. Isaac is also starting to the the #3 baby foods, I wish I had a food processor so I can blend food for him, (DAN!)
Isaac has been saying a lot of "baba and mama" I'm not sure it he knows what he is saying, but I like to pretend that he is asking for me:). He is so sweet, every night right before bed, whoever holds him, he just sinks in and cuddle. I feel like melting!
Dan and I have been busy with work. Ophtho is keeping Dan busy, but he is really enjoying what he is doing and the people at work are great!
Just this past weekend, we went on a family hike on Mt. Rainer, this will be Isaac's second time, first time, he was in my womb, this time, he had the front seat and a pair of cool sunglasses as we hiked up the trails. It was really clear and warm. We had a great time hanging out and hiking.
