Visit with Nene

Isaac was so excited to get on a plane to go see Nene! We hadn’t seen Chris’ grandmother since he was 9 months old, so we were looking forward to spending time with her. Isaac loves looking at the pictures of her and him on our living room wall, so he was excited to see…

Rachel and Jason come to visit

Isaac is obsessed with Aunt Rachel’s boyfriend, Jason. When he’s around, he wants Jason and only Jason to help him get a drink, find a toy, etc. We all took a ride to the grocery store to pick up some food to grill, and Jason went off to find something for a moment by himself.…

Isaac really enjoyed seeing the giant turkey cooking and begged Daddy all day for a bite. Finally, dinner time! Chillin’ after dinner…

Mother’s Day

Merry Christmas!
