Wind storm of Washington 2006

Last Thursday was the wind storm of the year here in the Western Washington. Praise the Lord that we have been out of the chaos. We never lost power, hence, heat, warmth, and lights. But, poor Elizabeth, Mike, Natalie, and sofie were out of power for 48 hours when we found out (thanks Sally). All in all, the Stalls came down for a sleepover and Isaac following Natalie around making her his new best friend. While I was starting to feed Isaac lunch, Isaac sees Natalie chowing down on yogurt and bagel. So next thing I see is Isaac crying and thrashing in his high chair. I looked at Elizabeth and got a yogurt for Isaac, within the first bite Isaac was satisfied. For rest of the day, he literally followed Natalie around.

Sunrise

Given all the rainy days we've had lately, it was nice to be able to see farther than 20 feet in front of you this morning when we woke up. Thought is was cool that you could see the snow blowing off the top of Rainier.

Santa is coming!

We had a get together with Dan's work and Isaac meeting Santa. The kid was very happy with his new friend. He went around and said hi to all of Dan's co-worker. He even kept going back to one of Dan's boss to have him hold him. We didn't teach him to kiss p, but he sure is doing a good job for his dad. As you can see, Isaac was well dressed for the occassion. He also ate like a king with us at the lunch.

Isaac's One YEAR BIRTHDAY PARTY

At one year, Isaac is weighing in at 23.3 pounds and 29.5 inches long 50th percentile. He had a great birthday party with tons of friends shopwing up, but the poor guy had his shots the day before and was still recovering from them. As you scroll through the photos you'll see that he wasn't the happiest camper. When we brought out his cake for him, we all waited in anticipation for him to dig in. Instead, he scan the room full of people, looked as his cake, and CRIED! But overall, it was so nice to see friends and family. Aunt Patty make a killer Ceasar salad and gave Isaac his fire engine red chair. All is all, it was a great day. We had grilled cheese, dino chicken nuggets, salad, and way too much dessert! Thanks all for coming and making Isaac's day so memorable and special.
