over the weekend

Over the weekend, we not only celebrated Isaac's second birthday..we were super busy running around. Saturday I went a Christmas luncheon at a friend's church. It was really nice hanging out with ladies and just remember the meaning of Christmas. Dan on the other hand, took the kids with my friend's husband to a German St. Nicholas festival. Although, everyone spoke german to him, he had a lot of fun, and Isaac ate every sweets there were presented to him!

Saturday night I had my work party. It was a great excuse to dress up and hang out with people outside of work.

Sunday--Seattle Jingle Bell Run for the Arthritis foundation 5 K. I ran it and Dan walked it with the kids. He backpacked Isaac and frontpacked Jed. Isaac's hands were frozen by the end, but he keep sing jingle bells and really enjoy the holiday festivities. I don't know my final time yet, but from just going by the songs I was listening to, should be about 30-35 min. I had a great run. It had two hills than we ran thru the I-5 Express tunnel while everyone was singing Jingle Bells. I had a celebrtiy sighting as well. I saw Susie and Matt from the Biggest Loser! It was neat since I"m addicted to the TV show...

Isaac's birthday party with the family! It was a praise jam at the Solversons!

So much to update!!!! Where should I start?

Thanksgiving 2007
The day before Thanksgiving, Isaac came down with the Hand Foot and Mouth disease. And it's not pretty..he got blisters in his mouth making it hard for him to eat and rashs of blisters on his palms and soles...poor kid. He would take a bite of food and scream because it hurt so bad. We spent the day lounging around and then went over to the Solversons for the festivities. We topped off the night by watching Blades of Glory...The following morning, I was up by 5am with jed and then hit the malls by 6am and left the kids with Dan. Let me tell you...it was CRAZY!!!! But, i guess the fun of it was just being in the holiday season..I wish I had more people to give presents to...

Now I have offically gone back to work...it wasn't as bad as I thought...between getting two kids ready in the morning and pumping through out the day, it hasn't been too bad...my boss is really laid back and easy to work with. Our offical sign is that if I have a picture of my kids on the door--i am pumping.

Jed sleep 8 hours at 10 weeks but still refer back to 4-6 hour every couple of days...in the past two days, he has been sleeping 4 hours and feeding every 3 hours..he finishes the 5 ozs of the bottle too..he is a growing boy! He is the sweetest baby...always smiling and very chilled. Isaac will be playing rough with him, he would still laugh back and just hang out with us. THe brothers I know will be great friends. They are both sleeping in the same room and Isaac isn't waking up anymore by Jeds cries in the middle of the night. If Jed is not in the room with Isaac in the morning, Isaac would roam around the house going "Jed di-di." Very sweet!! I can't remember when kids roll over, but just yesterday I put him on his stomach and I turned around he was on his back....

Isaac just turned two yesterday. We had a little party just ourselves...We decorated his room the night before with streamers and balloons...The following day, did he feel like the special boy. He was singing happy birthday all day to himself. The highlight was going to the doctor for his 2 year check up...He was very cooperative and enjoyed beging "checked out" except for the two shots he got, which immediately afterwards, he said to me "Isaac go, Isaac go.." I guess that was enough for him and he was ready to go...Potty training--we are not pushing it, but we did buy a potty and are just more aware whenever he is about to go especially pooping. He has been telling us whenever he goes to poop for months now..so in the past week, we've been catching him starting to push, we would then rush him to the toilet. He gone in the potty twice and very proud to see his poop get flushed away!

Dan--he is the best dad ever! Whenever he is home, he takes over the kids and lets me have my time....which has been nice...the best part is that, he is the one getting up at night...we are finally adjusting as a family of four, and it wouldn't of been so smooth without Dan being so hands on and helpful..the other morning Isaac asked, where's daddy..I said, at work..Isaac answered "oh, yeah" just daily fun with the KIDS!
